Scott Dierking Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Brett Favre has told coach Mike McCarthy that he has thought about playing this year. Had to know this day was coming. The comeback talk is reportedly only in preliminary stages, but Favre's family is encouraging him to play. Cornerback Al Harris says Favre told him he still "has the itch" to play. This situation could turn thorny. The Packers own Favre's rights, but we'd guess that the front office would simply rather move forward with Aaron Rodgers. The coaching staff may lean more towards Favre. Favre could subsequently push for his release, something Mort mentions. "Brett's a high-quality person and he's not going to push it that far," a team source said.

4HCrew Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 How can anyone be shocked by this? If I was the Packers I would call his bluff release him and let him show his true colors... they just need to move on at this point and this is coming from a huge fan of #4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 If I were the Pack, I would simply refuse to take him back. They need some stability at the QB position and if Favre comes back it's just another year wasted for Aaron Rodgers. This whole 'will he, wont he' thing has become old. The Packers should not have to put up with that every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Was he at the end of his contract, or did he retire with years remaining? if he wants to play, and is under contrat, trade him to teh Falcons. Then find out how badly his itych wants scratched. You can't screw around with a franchise like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 This IMO is a case of a player thinking he is bigger than the team. The team simply needs to put him in his place. He was a great Quarterback, but it's time to move on without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn't leave the team in complete dissaray because he doesn't know WTF he wants to do. The team should not tolerate that every single ****ing year.

Scott Dierking Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Or he could just want to play football. I don't see what all of the fuss is about. Well, he spent all those months supposedly making up his mind. And said that there was no way he would be connected with any football stories about comeback. He just seems to think that the Green Bay Packers revolve around whatever daily whim he may have, and that decisions are not made outside of "What is on Brett's mind today?". Franchises (at least good ones) can't run that way. Thank you for everything that you have done Brett, here is your Gold watch, we wish you well, now stay the **** away from us.

shodan9999 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I supported him a last year when he was holding not telling anyone what he was going to do. I thought...hey take as much time as you need..this is a big decidsion...well he did...he came back and played...ok great...now he has a retirement press conference that lasted forever...he retired...now he wants to say...no wait ...BS...the Pack needs to support Rodgers...if they took him back and I was Rodgers I would demand a trade...no trade...I holdout till they do trade me...too much drama...Favre is only thinking about Favre...I am tired of hearing it...

124 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hopefully for Packer fans and most NFL fans, he returns. Nothing better right now than watching Brett Favre play Quarterback. The Packers are so close to appearing and winning a Super Bowl and without Favre that doesn't have a chance of happening in 2008. No way Aaron Rodgers can lead them to the Super Bowl in his first season. Not a chance. Favre played great in 2007 and hopefully will decide to return for at least one more year. He has an itch to play and family members are telling him to do it. Come on back Brett, we miss you already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMaynard Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Everyone has the right to change their mind. Even several times. Especially, the great ones. What makes Favre an annoying dildo is that he teases. "I think I might retire". "I have an itch to play". Make up your damn mind, and then announce it! The guy has a real obsession for attention.

I've never seen a pro athelete do what he has been doing in over 40 years of watching sports This is from one of my favourite blogs: Dear Scrotal Seam, Since you won’t return my phone calls, and you refuse to use a computer for anything other than acquiring Canadian pharmaceuticals, I figured my only recourse is to send you this letter. They do have postal service in Bum****, Mississippi, don’t they? Listen, I understand that you love the game and all of the media fellating you reap as a result of your play, but if you have this “itch” to come back you could have at least dropped me a line. I don’t even care if you play this year, in fact, I think it would be pretty ****ing great. With all this football crap going on I’ve fallen way behind in my regimen of naps and vacations over the past two off-seasons. All I’m asking is that you stop dicking me around like this year after year. If you need me for any reason I’ll be doing the same thing I do during every training camp, sneaking over to your house during film study and butt-****ing Deanna on your freshly mown lawn.
