i think it such a selfish move by him to take away all the coverage of the HOF weekend and HOF game whatever it may mean to interject himself into the news. Not to mention he is flying on the packers family night practice.I used to like theguy a lot but i now feel it was because the media potrayed him to be the 'everyman'. He is nothing like that.

Agreed...this is uncomfortable to watch unfold.

I posted that story a few minutes ago, here in the orig. thread with some comments.

The "FAVRE - he's really coming baaack only not in GB" post

SO, why didn't the commissioner wait until tomorrow??

What was Favre supposed to do - at this point he cannot win, but neither can the Packers.

If he takes the money he is a sell out. If he returns he is coming back to where they don;t want him.

The packers have decided to make Rogers their guy, right or wrong - get Favre off your team - trade him quickly or release him, just end the distraction already. I said it on 7/11 and I still say it today.

Green Bay - just get rid of him already and be confident in your decision and all that comes with it.

i side with team right now but agree ,their approach has been of an organization scared of a player who they think can hurt them if he joins the vikings.They shouldve let him go and do what he wants.
As BB did with kosar., he had such a severe backlash but no one points out that kosar really wasnt so successful after he released him.Same with bledsoe. If you believe favre is done , let him go. Dont waste your time and energy on him (although i dont mind that they are sticking it to him and bas cially that he cant get what he wants all the time)
Another of those media creations as peter king says that it would be foolish of ted thompson to trade favre a 3 time MVP within the division. when will these writers realize that a) he isnt the same player and b) as belichick says , lot of players change teams every yr. We cant control where everyone goes.
Let Favre and deal with him for 2 games. If you think you arent competent to gameplan and win 2 games against 1 player whoever he maybe then you shouldnt be coaching/playing.

Deus Irae

Blaming Favre for the timing of the Ommissioner's reinstatement is absurd. Shall we blame Favre for the Jewish/Arab conflict in the Middle East while we're at it?

Yawn. I am beyond bored with this saga.

Favre and the Packers need to compromise and meet in the middle. Favre wants to play again (and for a division rival), and the Packers don't want him to play again period. Solution: The Packers let him play, and Favre gets traded to a team he approves that isn't within the division. They both need to give up something and they both need to accept that. we all see the solution but they're both so stuck up to cave in.

The problem with that is that he's still a reasonably valuable commodity, they hold his rights, and they should be allowed to pursue a trade. But so far, Favre has made it clear that he would only accept a trade within the Packers' division. WTH?

Number Cruncher

Well, he certainly hasn't helped over there......

You do realize the Packers asked Favre for a list of teams he was willing to accept a trade to a month ago right? He refused to give one.

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.
