All these interviews that TT is giving are just a way to spin public persecption(especially in GB) in his favor. He dosen't want to be percevied as the guy to run Favre out of town. Quotes like "We've moved on," and "Brett can come back as a back-up," are just rediculous. I mean honestly, what does "we've moved on" even mean. Teams change QBs all the time, not to mention injury. Brett can come back as a back-up, what a freaking joke, everyone knows that. Oh, wait, we've installed a different offensive in favor of Rodgers. Well.......what if he gets hurt, than you adjust your offensive to the corresponding QB. All these comments are just TT way of relieving pressure. If TT honestly believes the Packers are better off with Aaron Rodgers (which I think is wrong)then he should put all the BS aside and say it. It's time for TT to be a man a say how he really feels. Ultimatley the Packers will end up trading Brett. The problem with this is that Brett has a no-trade clause in his contract, so he can kinda pick and choose who the Packers are able to trade him too. And now for Favre. Yes, he handled this situation like crap and yes, he only is thinking about himself, and yes, he has an ego, and yes, he is a diva. To that I say SO WHAT, if he gives you the best chance to win than you play him. Name me one superstar that dosen't have a huge ego. It's time for TT to be a man and tell Brett to take a hike(no pun intemded) if that what he feels is best. He'll just have to live with a consequences of his decision....good or bad.

If you’ve followed the Packers at all you could see plain as day that the team has turned around since Thompson took over. And how in the world has he spent a lot of time getting rid of the best players. Name one player that has done well since leaving the Packers. Javon Walker?? Mediocre at best. And look who he replaced him with: three good receivers to help Driver. And the leadership of Favre? You mean the guy who said before this season that he didn’t think he could create chemistry with his young teammates and that it would be a waste of time? You mean the guy who doesn’t show up until training camp and gets carted out the back door when all his other teammates are greeting and signing autographs for all Favre’s beloved fans? Favre himself has been mediocre at best as well for the past six years. He throws costly interceptions and makes horrible choices. Just look at the picture of the last pass he threw during the NFC championship game. Sure the Packers did well this year but all Favre did was take less chances. The offense was designed for quick, short passes, and then a few long bombs every once in a while. Any decent NFL quarterback can make short passes, even Rodgers, who did better than Favre against the one team better than the Packers in the NFC. The receivers were the ones who did the work for Favre. Find the article on ESPN by Sal Palantonio about how Favre is overhyped. The guy has one season in the top 80 seasons statistically. And that makes him possibly the best player ever? Manning and Brady already have multiple ones in the top 50. Favre is a self-centered, egocentric b%$*h and should stop causing drama. All this BS about loving the game and the Packers not wanting him back needs to stop. The guys a mediocre quarterback, he’s under contract, and deserves no more than any other player. If he wants to play he should show up. I can’t believe it took everyone else so long to see through Favre. Hey OldSchoolBearFan:

When the "It's All Rumors" beginning of this BS fiasco started, I wanted the Packers to let him compete for the starting position. If the Packers are true to their words, then let the best man win. If that is the case, I would think that Favre would win the starting job. If this is just a BS ruse by the Pack to save some sort of face, then no matter what Favre does, he will be holding a clipboard at 12 MM per year. Favre doesn't seem to realize that the TEAM hold the cards in this situation. If you are going to "Unretire", then report to camp and let the competition begin. he is not in a position to dictate his release. The team would hold him and "Eat" the 12 MM salary unless they could put together a "Condional" trade. The condition being that he does not subsequently get traded to any team that the Packers oraganization designates. It's real simple....show up and compete and face the music that you orchestrated or stay at home and cut the grass. If you bother to go to the JournalSentinel site and click on this link, that would tell the story of the Flipp-Flopper Favre. Here is the link to the timeline: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=771893. What would you do if you were in Managements shoes. After his last Flip-Flop, they moved on and drafted2 QB's to back-up Rodgers. I can't imagine anyone else doing anythin different, DO YOU?? Read this and realize that Favre is an absolute Fu$%i*( moron the way he played this scenario out. I am a huge Favre fan, but whoever his advisors are, probably scored less than Favre did (16) on the Wonderlic test. Come In And Compete.
