Sterling Sharpe: Walker Situation all Favre's Fault

[Harlan Huckleby]

Favre made a terrible mistake in publicly taking sides in a teammate's contract dispute.

A lot of you cling to theory that this was Favre exercising leadership. But that is because you agree with the side that he took! If Favre came-out and said Walker was underpaid, I don't think you would be calling him a bold leader.

The proof is in the pudding. Favre's comments did nothing but damage his relationship with a key teammate and hurt the franchise.

Taking sides in someone else's contract dispute is out of line. A lot of you are blinded to this obvious bit of wisdom because you are biased aganst Walker's postion.

Favre never said Javon was under or overpaid. What he said was, playeres should honor their contracts. Javon is going about this the wrong way. If Javon aint there, we'll be able to move on without him.

That's what Favre said, and you're damned right, HH, he was exercising his blood and sweat given leadership rights and his message was on the money.
Favre was opposed to breaching a C O N T R A C T. Not against Javon earning more doe. When Bubba was on strike, Favre said PAY HIM. He had fulfilled his contractual obligations.

As for the self-righteous fans; Think back to only last Friday when DD supposedly got the hold-out syndrome. 90% of the posters here said PAY HIM!

I think some of the blindness comes from watching Favre for 15 years and loving the way he plays and there for lovign everything he does.

Like a mother with her kids or a man with his wife it is something that some people are just not able to see objectively.

Did Favre make a mistake? Yes....Did Walker take it too far IMO? Yes.

Favre came out in defense of Bubba Franks. Favre thought Bubba deserved to get paid. Nobody took offense to that. Walker was hurting Favre's last chance at a winner, he was pissed. He was pissed that he had to go throught the same thing the year before with McKenzie. He saw how that damaged the team, he decided the best thing for him and the team was to come out publicly. In not so many words, Favre was sick of watching these guys manipulate their contracts. I think if McKenzie never pulled this shit, Favre probably wouldn't have said anything.

OOH BOO Fucking Hoo! My feelings are hurt, someone said something I don't like. Booooooo fucking Hooooooo! Have some fucking balls and quit being a teenage girl. Yes Favre could have handled it differently, but big deal. I refuse to feel sorry for a spoiled little bitch that had his million dollar feelings hurt. Here, let me kick you in the nuts so something besides your feelings hurt.

Oh, I bet Ted Thompson wasn't so pleased. But of course Ted & Brett don't have to work together closely like a WR & QB, so not so important.

Taking sides is no damn good. These contract disputes are a lot like divorces, they are BIG events for the parties involved. What happens after you take sides in a divorce?

Personally, I know if you stay in the middle you get hung out to dry.

I get to sleep with the ex-wife at long last??

I can't talk right now, my feelings are hurt.

Walker is now a Denver Bronco b/c Ted Thompson doesn't have the foresight that Mike Shanahan has...

It's that simple.

What the hell does foreskin have to do with anything? Let's keep the subject to football pervert.

[Tarlam!]

It's that simple.

Firstly, HI WIST!

Now, to business. Are you fuckin outta your mind???

This ws NOT TT balls up. This was Walker, pure and simple. TT comes into CAP HELL. 80% of the team needs replacing, but he aint got the brass in the pocket.

Then Walker opens his frigging mouth. And you claim, TT is short sighted?

Nice to see ya here, Wisty, ol' mate!

[Tarlam!]

Which one is the ex-wife? Ted or Javon?

That would be Brett's choice, Zig.

[MJZiggy]

Amazing you even let Brett tell you who to sleep with! You really trust his opinion!
