I have also heard that the Commisioner is going to try to force the Packers to make a decision quickly. I don't see how it's any of his business. He doesn't own the Packers nor is he in management for the team.The Packers hold Favre's rights & aren't obligated to do anything they don't want to in reference to Favre. This whole thing is Favre's fault so it's really hard to feel bad for him.

Elway actually did things that warranted his reputation as a phenom. Favre played a lot of games in a row. In baseball terms: Elway = Hank Aaron, Favre = Cal Ripken, Jr. Elway actually won it all, with basically no help. Favre could only do it with Holmgren, White, and a plethora of other HOFers. He never could win it without Holmgren. Favre should stay away from football and stop embarassing himself. Two years ago, he was throwing 4-5 INTs a game and would have been pulled off the field if his name wasn't Favre. Now he's going to force the Packers to pay him so he can ride the pine? Pathetic. Dude, you're old, let it go. Favre is like that middle-aged burnout guy hanging around college parties - bumming around the keg, hogging the beer bong, and hitting on chicks half his age who find him physically repulsive. And then when the host asks him to leave, he just keeps hanging around anyway, embarassing everyone and making the whole place akward. @gschwena7:

I guess what is still simply unclear is if Brett didn't file retirement paperwork with the NFL, why does he have to file paperwork with the NFL to get back in? It shouldn't matter that the Packers placed him on the reserve/retired list. They did that on their own without proper paperwork being filed with the league. As far as Goodell should be concerned, Brett didn't retire. That may be the way it is, but it just doesn't make sense. I’m with BBrophy1 on the whole reinstatement deal.

Yesterday, Mike McCarthy said our goal this year is to "Win a World's Championship." If our goal is to win a world's championship, why would you consider adding a greater risk toward achieving our goal by not starting the most experienced and best talent at any position? In yesterday's wrap up Q&A, Mr. Murphy admitted that you believe the TEAM will compensate for any learning curve our QB may experience. Are you not taking an unnecessary risk in looking away from Brett Favre's experience? Perhaps if the "Team" played better last year, everyone would not look at the interception as the reason we lost to the Giants. Keep in mind, our TEAM, allowed them to tie the game and take us into overtime and win. And, if this year the team plays better as you must believe, better with the same QB, wouldn't that make us a better team? Is Aaron ready? You can answer this better than me, but as a former professional athlete I do know it's easier to perform when the spotlight is not on you. And it is in my experience that ONLY experience helps you maintain a high level of performance when the spot light turns on you. You seem to be looking away from experience, why? From an athlete's perspective, it is a completely different scenario to perform at a high level when all the expectations around you are set so high. Favre has lived with this for 16 years - Aaron Rodgers has never experienced anything close to what he is walking into. (And why is he walking into this role and not earning it like every other person on the team?) When all the game planning is built around you and you become the center of attention, Aaron's performance may suffer. With Brett, he is a known entity and we know what we can expect. This should be making your job easier, not more as you said yesterday, "Distressing." How will Aaron Rodgers hold up to the pressure? Maybe good, maybe not so good. But why when Brett Favre can still play, do we have to find out now? Over 4,000 yards, 28 TDs and a passer rating of 95.7 just last year. Are you working in the best interest of the team in helping us all achieve Mr. McCarthy's goal of winning a world championship by not allowing Brett Favre to compete for the starting role? I find it hard to believe we can consider ourselves contenders for any title with a rookie QB. Please be prudent in the next few days and do what is best for helping us achieve our goal of bringing the Lombardi trophy back home. Thank you! Dear Mr. Thompson:

I know Favre got an award but the only other Packer i saw was Rodgers. Is the only reason he was there so that JT could make fun of him??? I think there is something going on that we don`t know about Like it`s all just a big media scam to create way more interest in the off season. For people to watch more NLF network and visit web sites more when no a whole lot is really going on. I think the team knew he was gonna come back especially Rodgers.

And no, he will not ever play for the BIQUEENS, first, he is not gay enough and second, the BIQUEENS should be forced to stay with Jackson after they just spend the entire off season propping him up and then stabbing him in the back with the tampering activities. You got to love Childress, he is still wishing for the days of McNabb where he could get all the credit without having to do any real coaching.

Favre didn't change his status but the Packers put him on this list without his paperwork being filed. A team shouldn't be able to do that. It's a work-around for roster exemptions. If the Packers knowing they are short a roster spot would have said around May "hey Brett, you have to get that retirement paperwork in" the dialogue would have started then and more likely to be finished by training camp. There's no reason for this to be a training camp issue. He should either be required to be part of their roster or a free agent. This in between status isn't good for the game and the whole process certainly can't be good for Aaron Rodgers. What a mess he landed in.

Most likely any trade would be a conditional pick. For instance a 3rd rounder for Favre. If he plays in more than 5 games, it becomes a 1st rounder. If he is traded or released it becomes two 1st rounders. (Just an example) Now I'm sure someone could raise a fuss, but I would imagine that since the Vikings Poison Pill went through, I think this one would slide as well.

He's already compromised his legacy and further bickering/training camp drama will make it worse. The guy is 38....how many more years is a team going to get out of him anyway, and who's gonna pay him that much? Brett, keep your ass at home on your tractor! GO EAGLES!!!

Woke up this morning

I can garauntee that IF he plays for the packers nobody will care about all this once he steps onto the field(untill next off season). All the people who bitch and complain about favre are just as annoying as the BS stroies that come out every 5 minutes about him. For all the ídiots who say make him a backup to teach him a lesson...TED THOMPSON WILL NOT GIVE AWAY MONEY LIKE THAT! Don't be so retarted. I don’t know how favre ruined his rep beyond repair.

The Packers should keep him on the roster as back-up, even if it costs them $12mil, just to show him that all spoiled QBs dont always get what they want. For the future Brett, maybe you should take your retirement advice from a guy like Elway. He only said he was going to retire once, and guess what, he did. Imagine that, it is just that simple.

What's this I keep seeing about favre to TB for a 2010 first rounder? If they can't trade him and he is reinstated. And on the team sept 8- he WILL be the starter. That is why they will get something done before then. TT loves AR. I saw it under a bridge in GB Because he is on the reserved/retired list BBROPHY.

Of course, if Favre shows up they could make it "work out just fine". You think every person on every 53 person team loves each other and respects the front office? And quite frankly, I don't see how Favre would even have much to do with the GM, unless Thompson likes to stick his nose in meetings and practices.

Force the Packers hand Brett. Make them either pay you 12 million to sit on the bench, play you, or release you so you can pick your team. BTW, even though Brett does not have a no-trade clause, all he has to do is inform every team that he doesnt like that he will not report or play for them. That way he can keep those teams from trading for him. Stick it to Thompson Brett! Thats right. Force the Packers hand Brett.
