Why is Brett being allowed to miss the next minicamp. I thought McCarthy said that if Brett was to come back, that he would be at all the minicamps. With all the new WR's and all the youth in general, shouldn't the leader of the team be present at the minicamp. I guess nothing has changed, Favre still runs the team. One other thing, I'll give you 29 reasons why Brett SHOULD BE THERE!
-
Pass Jessica's Law and keep the predators behind bars for 25 years minimum. Vote out liberal, SP judges. Enforce all immigrant laws! -
I find this situation very strange indeed. But maybe there is more to the story. It would be interesting (not to mention good fun) to put bamboo shoots underneath Mike McCarthy's fingers and find out what's really going on. -
He can't be forced to come, they are voluntary. The GBPG makes it sound like Favre's decision, not MM's:
"While McCarthy didn’t say so, he implied the decision was Favre’s. Last year, former coach Mike Sherman excused Favre from both minicamps. Although attendance at the next minicamp is optional, the majority of the players are expected to attend.
“Brett’s plan is that he will not participate in the next minicamp,†McCarthy said. “He will not be here.â€ÂÂ
“We’re looking at (him being here for) potentially 10 of the 14 OTAs,†McCarthy said."Comment

It sounds like the 2nd minicamp is targeted mainly towards the younger players.Comment

Why do you say that? What other older players will not be there?Originally posted by GBMicheleComment

Forrest Gregg is likely to be a no-show, again.Comment

Don't like it. I thought it was ok last year, after initially being peeved about it, because, honestly, what more could the guy learn from Bevell and Co., and because it gave the other guys more snaps.
But that was then. This year, new HC, new OC, new QB Coach, new everything. And it's not like he's doing some intense, off-season work. Apparently, his workouts have consisted of "manual labor" like cutting down trees with a chain saw.
If that's what it takes to get in shape for an NFL season, then half the guys in Sweet Sconnie are ready for their number to be called.Comment

Well, MM said that the 2nd minicamp will be going over the first and second downs that they worked on in this first camp, again in the 2nd camp, particulary working with the young guys. (Source: packer news)Originally posted by shamrockfan
No clue about others not attending. The media only mentioned Favre, but I guess we won't know until camp #2 has come and gone!Comment

I was surprised...no, I ain't trolling. He is the team leader, can anyone dispute that? I really thought he'd be at all of them this year with a somewhat new offense being installed. At least all the terminology is new.
What could be more important than mini-camp? Other than your family's health or something like that.Comment

Re: No show at camp
Whatever. The only time you talk about Favre anymore is to come on here and post comments like this.Originally posted by Rastak"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Re: No show at camp
Okay Harvey I'll say it, why the fuck do you have to say things like this. I don't agree with his approach, I say it...so what. It's a forum for people to exchange ideas. How about you explaining to me why it's so great he doesn't show up? I don't get it. If Brad Johnson wasn't going to show up at Vikings camp I'd say WTF.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers
Does this not make sense?Comment
