Favre Drama (Page 1 of 2)

What ARE you talking bout?  I have trouble with current events...

whasgoinon?

I will lose all respect for Brett if he "unretires"....if you said you were done, then move on

Signed,

Aaron Rodgers

Oh dear...

Going to see Skynyrd this weekend. I learned the same lesson years ago at the resort we're going to. When Skynyrd hits the stage everybody stands and sings along to every song. So paying $100.00 for a reserved seat is futile. We sit in the bleachers about 10-15 rows up and not only see and hear better, but also enjoy the stunning view of the lake in the background. This is pretty much exactly where we sit in this shot on their home page. www.konoctiharbor.com   It's all about learnin' the ropes.

                                                                                        And The Skies Are SOOOOOO Blue,

I like Brett, but he's breaking folk's hearts up there. He wants to play, and he can't expect the Packers to just let him come back after they told Aaron Rodgers he's the starter. So he wants to play for another team? Trust me, as a Dallas Cowboys fan who watched Emmitt Smith, my all-time favorite player, struggle through two seasons with the Cardinals, that is the most heartbreaking thing you can watch. Come on Brett, go out at near the top of your game. Don't be like the dude in Semi-Pro who got traded for a dishwasher.

thats just it!

anything less than a superbowl win would be considered a failure.  so what are the chances?

It appears that Mr. Favre has the Packers management in a tough situation.

If they don't take him back, they look like idiots. If they release him and he signs with Minnesota and kills Green Bay...they look like idiots. If they trade him and he plays well, the first Aaron Rodgers interception and  Green Bay will go nuts. If they take him back they risk alienating Rodgers who is only signed through 2009.

It appears the team has issued a statement saying that if Favre wants to come in and compete for a job with Rodgers, then he is welcome but that Rodgers is currently #1 on the depth chart. If that's the case it is not conceivable that Favre wouldn't win the job back. At the very least there will be a fan revolt if Favre isn't named the starter the first time Rodgers struggles.

Sure the right thing to do would be for Favre to stay retired, as others have said, it will almost be Super Bowl or bust when he comes back.

Keep in mind he has 3 years and $39 million left on his contract, which will actually pay him almost a third of that this year. If Favre is on the opening day roster, the $13 million would be guaranteed. The only way for Green Bay to get out from under that obligation would be to release/trade him prior to opening day.

$13 million dollars is real money. Certainly he's already rich, but $13 million is enough to make many people delay retirement a year or two. I'm sure Favre would dispute money as being a reason, but normally when all is said and done you can follow the money and find the real answers.

This will probably get uglier before its all over.

But then you have to deal with psycho fans. How do I know they're psycho? Because that's the only game in town there. I can relate, being down here in Arkansas, where the Razorbacks are the only game in the state. They ran the football coach out after he had a pretty good run. I mean, we got Bobby Petrino, which I guess is an upgrade, but still, the fans can get crazy. They even looked into the coach's phone records to try and dig stuff up on him.
