The Soap Opera That Is Brett Favre ------The Real Story

Re: The Soap Opera That Is Brett Favre ------The Real Story

Our story begins a few years back, when our star states publicly, he might retire. So then Ted the Terrible ( the perceived villian) goes out and drafts the second best QB in the draft, to take over for the soon to be retired gunslinger. Now the gunslinger is hacked off because Ted the Terrible isn't doing enough to surround him with weapons? Maybe if the star of the soap opera wouldn't bring out the rocking chair talk every frickin' year, Ted would have drafted a skilled player or two that would compliment the offense, instead of drafting A. Rodgers to take over for the loosed lipped, strong armed one.

Brett Favre only need do these few things the rest of his career. No. 1------- Keep his personal opinions to himself, No. 2---- Remove the word "retirement" from his vocabulary, and No. 3, ----------- Finish his career, without bitterness and resentment (for the team that made him a miliionaire 10 times over), by making guys around him better. That's what leaders do, don't they?

ok, allow me to redirect.

what offensive weapons has teddy t brought in to surround aaron rodgers with talent?

since he's the future, i mean.

take your time, i'll wait.....

He drafted a bunch of them. With Brett not leaving for another 3 years, it'll give them plenty of time to develop.

Re: The Soap Opera That Is Brett Favre ------The Real Story

I am giving this emoticon to myself, because I am going to repeat for the 100th time, that Favre began this in 2001/2002. Five+ years ago. Not during T2's tenure, but during Sherman's.

But when Terrel Owens says what's on his mind, that makes him a cancer.

Hey Drama Man! Welcome Back!

TO is a cancer, that's what makes him one... Remember the sit-ups in the front yard a few years back? Remember the Jeff Garcia accusations? Remember the Donovan McNabb accusations? How about the way he stood behind Drew Bledsoe last season? The guy is a TWO FACED weasel.

Comparing him to Favre is not reasonable, even when Favre is acting like a spoiled little child.

But when Terrel Owens says what's on his mind, that makes him a cancer.

It's because of other things that make him a cancer--like not talking to his OC for a season, criticizing every one of his QBs, stomping on the Dallas star, and being such a-hole that a large percentage of his teammates think he's a turd.

"I'm fine with Ted. There's probably been games or plays that he hasn't really agreed with the things that I've done, but I don't see him on the bus after the game, he won't speak to me. You go on; you move forward. I'm not here to judge the way he runs this team, and I know he's probably caught a lot of heat. Ted and I go way back--from day one. And he has a plan. That's what he's paid to do and I'm paid to lead this team on the field. I mean, we're fine. Once again, I don't have to agree with everything he does, he doesn't have to agree with some of the things I do. But we're fine...it's a non-issue" --Brett Favre

Doesn't sound like animosity to me somehow...

Gosh, why would Favre be upset with the offseason ?

Great minds think alike. :P

Those are his words, not mine.

I just think [Favre] feels sometimes that the organization is moving forward without him and they forgot to tell him that.

IMO, the organization did not forget to tell Favre anything. Favre "forgot" to tell them that he would still be here in 2006, 2007, and possibly beyond.

If they had known that, I think there's no way they draft A-Rod in the 1st round in 2005. Teams do not draft quarterbacks in the first round so they can warm the bench for 2 years, let alone 3 or 4.

I'm a big fan of Brett Favre, but he ain't perfect, and I think SOV is right on this one. I don't sympathize with Favre's frustrations regarding personnel moves, because it is Favre's unwillingness to give the team anything more than a year-to-year commitment that has forced the team to prepare for life without him sooner rather than later.

SOV, you explained the situation better than I veer could and I agree with you.

And Brett got along so well with Rossley, and didn't throw Javon Walker under the bus either. And now he thinks he's a better GM than Ted.



Sounds like a team guy to me too.

Point being Retail Clown, is that they are both being a negative influence on their respective teams. Not that Favre is any better or worse than T.O.

I know it was just a typo, but when I see the word "veer" , as a lifelong Badger fan, I get the shakes, and have Don Morton flashbacks.

I'll be out of rehab very soon!

[the_idle_threat]

Favre makes some mistakes with the media, as he did this past week, but he also manned up, backtracked, and made things right with his teammates. T.O. never bothers to do that ... T.O. doesn't care.

Brett is liked and respected by his teammates, whereas T.O. wears out his welcome with teammates.

I don't think you can compare the two at all.
