Not sure going on Letterman and hinting you could return is 'absolutely nothing'. The thing that bothers me about Favre is the lack of respect for his former team-mates. How do you think Rodgers feels about the whole circus? He is being undermined by it. At best, it's insensitive of Favre to be such a distraction.

Geez, I think you guys watched to much "Care Bears" when you were growing up. Life is not suger coated, if I was Rodgers I would be too concerned with next season to worry about media hype.

What this boils down to is, do you think what current and former team-members say to the media matters and is important? For example, do you think what Chad Johnson doing now is important? If you don't think this can upset a team, fine. I think it can.

How is this the same as a player stating he no longer wants to be on a certain team and would like to be traded?

Because we don't have to deal with him next year. He's retired. GB has 2 QBs drafted and an heir apparent to start. If CJ isn't traded, the bungles have to deal with him this year. If Favre keeps talking about coming back, it doesn't matter to GB unless he actually DOES come back. They have moved on, obviously, they aren't leaving a spot open for him for IF he returns, and they aren't counting on it. They've moved on

Because both create a media circus that undermines the team.

Favre has done no more or less than any other QB who has retired that still has a little left in the tank. The difference is instead of a mediocre Testaverde you have one of the top QBs to ever play the game. Of course there will be more coverage on Favre.

He did a string of interviews while in NY. Each one of them saying he is retired over and over again.Yet that is still not enough.He is not just walking around talking about coming back.He simply will not say that it would be totally out of the question in some crazy circumstances.

Again...how does it undermine the team that he did a series of interviews in April where he said over and over again that he is retired.
 
I think what we're learning here is the initial explanation from Bus Cook and a relative of Brett's was more accurate than people were led to believe. I completely believe that Brett had a conversation with TT about his tortured soul status and felt he wasn't coddled/urged enough to return and took it personally, to the point of retiring. I 100% agree with the OP that everything GB is doing is an attempt to steer this matter toward closure, while Brett is desparate to keep his foot in the door. Mentioning that he might return if a guy is injured showed lack of class. We'll see where this goes. I saw a clip with Leroy Butler saying Brett definitely wants to return, but his speculation that it would be to Detroit, Chicago or Green Bay was utterly ridiculous.

Ummm...huh?How does any of this lend credibility to what Cook said was his opinion.I agree they are moving it towards closure...but they have to move on. They have no choice.Brett is desperate to keep his foot in the door? Some of you really need some help.After his first press conference we basically did not hear from him at all save a small interview to long time friend Al Jones.Then he did his thing this past weekend while in NY...and has said to Mooch that he would probably go back into hiding with his family.Lack of class? He hinted he might return if something happened and the team needed him and asked him to come back. He said he might consider it.

Exactly...a quote taken completely out of context.He was asked if he would start thinking or getting that itch when minicamps started. He said no...and then added what you said above.I, and many others, took that as him saying thats when it would hit him that its over...not that its when he would come out and say he wanted to play again (that was left up to some of the most extremely delusional people I know on these boards)
 
The answer to the question that would settle this for me is this: Is John Madden still crying? If he is, Favre is retired.

Ah, don't sweat it, Big. Some on these boards are well known as being card carrying, flag waving Favre apologists. In their eyes, nothing Little Lord Favreleroy says or does can possibly be held against him. It's all media-induced conspiracy against a poor, defenseless good 'ol boy who just can't help being 100% honest with whomever asks him a simple question...... :shrug:

its that time of the year.... OTA's are over, its about 3 weeks or so til TC begins so the boring season has set in. The suits at ESPN decide to get Mortenson to put up some speculative item about Favre's return and this starts again....

only to be denied by the man whom the speculation is focused on, several hours later.

He said at his press conference he retired. This is all speculation by the media.......just to make some news.

IF he is not training in the offseason he cant return and be successful.

Let it go....... if and when his retirement situation changes i am sure there will be a formal announcement, until then he has had his retirement announcement -so that should be definitive for all those who really care. for those who dont, and want to keep beating this to a pulp its a waste of time and effort-its obvious from the tone of those comments that most of them didnt respect him anyway.....

Finally one voice of reason within the SP. I've been relegated to the FFA because of the ridiculous crap spewed in the "Shark Pool" for too long. I'm done. I'll keep lurking, I'll keep reviewing certain threads about people I'm targeting but GDB the BS speculation about ANY player before we've even heard sentence one from their lips.Favre is not coming back until it comes out of his mouth to a reputable source. :goodposting:

Sure why not. It's just a guess. Favre's mother, Bonita, told WITI-TV that Favre felt Thompson was less than enthusiastic about keeping him around for another year, something Favre's inner circle has expressed for some time.

"He's felt like that for the last couple of years, that the Packers didn't really want him back," said Bonita Favre. "But nothing's been said. You know it's just been bits and pieces throughout the last couple of years

( :unsure: like not going after Randy Moss?)

things that would come up, and it just didn't seem like they went out of their way to keep him. It was kind of like, 'You're done.' " :rolleyes:

He'll be traded to the Vikings.

anyone who thinks Thompson would trade him to the Vikings is a complete loon.Though, the funny side to that would be the complete 180 done by every Viking fan that has bashed him over the past several years.

Wrong. The year Favre had last year is not one he'd be able to achieve again for any team. Not even the Packers, which is part of the reason they don't want him back. The Vikings don't need an indecisive QB, and there's 0 chance that should he get the release he's asked for he'd get picked up by the Vikings. He could replace Testaverde in Carolina as Delhomme's back up, that's more his speed right now.

Im not saying Mort is making it up.Though...how many times has Mort been wrong about things.

He is citing an unnamed source.

It has been denied by Favre and his agent and the packers.

Hell...even Favre's own brother puts it only at 50-50. If Favre is saying he wants to come back...wouldn't his brother say its 100% or a bit higher than 50-50?

Wow...glad to see you can tell the future on what Favre might be able to do this year.

0 chance he would get picked up by the Vikings? Then they are dumber than I already think they are.

They would be favorites from the NFC with #4 behind center.

 
Oh and what motivation would Mort have to make it up?

Hmm...I don't know...what network is it that is carrying the opening game of the season where Favre is supposed to have his number retired?

Not sure why they would want to hype this up any more...

That's good considering Mort is only one of several news outlets who are reporting on the contact with the Packers from Favre's camp asking for a release. Favre's saying it's only a rumor is a way for him to work at his goal, which is a release or trade from the Packers. They very much want Rodgers to be their QB so they don't have a full wasted offseason and a giant debacle leading into the season. Favre has little chance of repeating his numbers from last season. Should Favre be able to get what he wants, whatever team lands him should worry that they will see the Favre from '05 or '06. Last year was his best shot, and he hasn't let go yet.

Im not saying Mort is making it up.

Though...how many times has Mort been wrong about things.

He is citing an unnamed source.

It has been denied by Favre and his agent and the packers.

Hell...even Favre's own brother puts it only at 50-50. If Favre is saying he wants to come back...wouldn't his brother say its 100% or a bit higher than 50-50?

Wow...glad to see you can tell the future on what Favre might be able to do this year.

0 chance he would get picked up by the Vikings? Then they are dumber than I already think they are.

They would be favorites from the NFC with #4 behind center.

No...Mort would not confirm the release part unless he has come out with something new.Last I read, Mort stated that it had not gotten that far at all. That there has only been contact with McCarthy and the quote was that Favre had the itch to play.

I think he is saying its a rumor because he has not yet said "I want to return". And he will get no release or trade IMO.

And your opinion that he has little chance of repeating last season is a bit out there. He showed in this offense he has all the tools and weapons around him to do it...I have no doubt he can do it again.

 
Original post was bang on in terms of assessing the tension in the Packers-Favre relationship, which wasn't so apparent then.

Ah, don't sweat it, Big. Some on these boards are well known as being card carrying, flag waving Favre apologists. In their eyes, nothing Little Lord Favreleroy says or does can possibly be held against him. It's all media-induced conspiracy against a poor, defenseless good 'ol boy who just can't help being 100% honest with whomever asks him a simple question...... :rolleyes:

And some are known as irrational ignorant posters who spout off whenever they can.Nah...plenty he has done or said can be held against him.Things taken completely out of context are not things that should be though.He answered that simple question several times when he has said he is retired.What about that don't you understand?

I love the laughing and the popcorn bumps.Good stuff.Tell me, what has changed? Oh wait...a rumor popped up which Favre, his agent, and the team have pretty much all denied.Good job.All because he possibly said he had the itch to play.

Apparently he wants some more attention:Favre tempted to show up for Packers campBy CHRIS JENKINS - AP Sports Writer 2008-07-15 18:19MILWAUKEE (AP) -Brett Favre says he's tempted to show up at the Green Bay Packers' training camp just to call the team's ``bluff.''In the second part of an interview with Fox News, the 38-year-old quarterback said he knows his arrival in camp would cause a media circus, but that might not stop him. Packers players are scheduled to report July 27.``It's tempting just to, as everyone said, you know, call their bluff or whatever,'' Favre said, according to an excerpt provided to The Associated Press. ``I think it's going to be a circus in itself already, whether I go there, whatever.''

I hope he does show up. Then gets the job. Then the Packers win the Super Bowl. Or with Rodgers, either way would be fine by me.

Agreed. If Favre is serious about playing this year, he should show up to training camp and let the Packers make the next move. Farve should finish his career with Green Bay, one way or the other. This business about playing for someone else is crazy talk.TT is going to realize he should have released Favre after his retirement speech so none of this public feuding would have ever happened in the first place.

I think what we're learning here is the initial explanation from Bus Cook and a relative of Brett's was more accurate than people were led to believe. I completely believe that Brett had a conversation with TT about his tortured soul status and felt he wasn't coddled/urged enough to return and took it personally, to the point of retiring. I 100% agree with the OP that everything GB is doing is an attempt to steer this matter toward closure, while Brett is desparate to keep his foot in the door. Mentioning that he might return if a guy is injured showed lack of class. We'll see where this goes. I saw a clip with Leroy Butler saying Brett definitely wants to return, but his speculation that it would be to Detroit, Chicago or Green Bay was utterly ridiculous.

Ummm...huh?How does any of this lend credibility to what Cook said was his opinion.

I agree they are moving it towards closure...but they have to move on. They have no choice.

Brett is desperate to keep his foot in the door? Some of you really need some help.After his first press conference we basically did not hear from him at all save a small interview to long time friend Al Jones.

Then he did his thing this past weekend while in NY...and has said to Mooch that he would probably go back into hiding with his family.

Lack of class? He hinted he might return if something happened and the team needed him and asked him to come back. He said he might consider it.

So he did do more interviews between the press conference and the one with his friend?Look, I have admitted to being wrong about how little of a chance I thought it was that he would return.

The bumps are funny as people try to get in an "i told you so" without actually reading what they are bumping and the context in which things were said.

Oh, we're reading. The assessment was dead on, and you refused to acknowledge or give credence to what was written in bold capitalize letters between the lines, and in a particularly belittling manner. Frankly, this was a fairly transparent situation and only someone wearing an "I luv Favre" t-shirt giving him every single benefit of the doubt would suggest otherwise.
