They can't meet in the middle because Favre won't let them. There are 31 in the NFL. The Packers will probably trade him to 28 of them. He appears only willing to go to 1.

Ridiculous.

Agree; its not Favres fault the Commish sat on this for days (even though the Commish has no business getting involved).

The Packers should be happy about this: They either get a starting qb; or they get to trade him and pick up a draft pick. I'm not sure why they're trying to buy their way out of this situation.

And if he goes to a division rival; who cares. They end up taking away a draft pick from their rival so it all evens out (short vs long)

Favre Reinstated
If Favre goes to the Jets, I'll respect him more
Packers' $20M offer to stay retired may be best
Jets hold serious talks about Favre
Glazer on Favre fiasco
Jets seek permission to talk to Favre
Should the Patriots get Favre?
Good Curran article on Lord Favre. Bashed his royalness
The real reason why Favre want to return for another season
The greatest thing about Favre
Don Banks also goes after Favre
OT: Favre is a real Prima Donna
ESPN: Favre in talks with Packers over comeback


Can we stop making multiple Favre threads and keep all the news compiled in this one?

Today he's reinstated, tomorrow he has "serious talks" with other teams, the next day he'll be considering going to camp again, the next day he'll think about retiring once again, blah, blah, blah.

Because although they all relate to favre, they are not all the same discussion. When you have a single 1000-post thread with 8 discussions at the same time, it is impossible to follow. Plus adding a brand new thread to a huge conglomerate thread only means the new thread is totally lost.

Nothing wrong with different discussions on the same player or event.

If Samuel had gone to the Jets or Phins, people would be going beserk. Division rivals do matter.

For the packers, they are looking at Minnesota coming into Lambeau the first game of the year.

If you were a fan in 2003, you know what this can do. Football is more than playing my stat sheet against your stat sheet, and many things affect the outcome of games.

If the Packers have any brains, and remember how a crappy Bills team with the controversial acquisition of Milloy allowed them to dominate the team that went 14-2 and won the superbowl that year, they will NOT allow Favre to go to the Vikes.

Unfortunate, but the schedule precludes that trade.

It's all part of one continuing story. When there's a new update daily making a thread for each update just doesn't make sense, when you can simply post in the other thread and discuss the latest development until the next part of the story arrives.

Having 13 Brett Favre threads, all which have led up to the same outcome on a New England Patriots board makes this place feel like a mini-ESPN lately.

But whatever, it's not like I have to click on the threads, lol. Just my suggestion.

Why don't you just let the mods do their job?

Think there's a lot of Favre threads here? It could be a whole lot worse. Check out this Tampa Bay Bucs fan forum; there must be over a hundred separate Favre threads on that site. I imagine some of the Vikings, Jets and Packer sites have probably been obliterated with multiple Favre threads as well.

Oh, it gets better . . . the Pack is now going to have an open competition for the starting QB position.

I feel so f'in' sorry for Aaron Rodgers.
