But half of a GM's job is lying. He generally can't tell a play how much he needs them because then they would hold out for more money. He can't let anyone know who he's favoring in free trade, because that would let other teams undercut him. He can't let a player dictate personnel decisions...

Like I said in the other thread, the maximum medical dosage for Codeine is 1 g. So he likely had 200-400 pills. The starting dosage for codeine is 60 mg, taken once or twice a day depending, but it scales up from there depending on tolerance and pain threshold.

From what Moss said, it was more like they wanted him to understand that he'd be on a short leash and would have to accept that Driver would still be the Packers #1 WR. Moss couldn't accept those conditions, so he left. I'm not really sorry he did.

Truman, I think you are certainly right that that is how Favre feels about this situation. However, from a fan's perspective, Ted was probably right in the way he acted in all three of those situations. After 2005, we NEEDED brett to come back, but we could not afford to keep Wahle and...

I hope you're right on all accounts bigbyfan. I really expect Atari to make a big leap this year. He was gold during the playoffs and I think he's getting more used to the style of play on this side of the pond. If he keeps hitting that hard, I'll forgive him a few penalties... assuming he...

More like he doesn't want people to notice the brown stains on his hands. You have to imagine that it was bus who convinced favre to ask for release and try to get a new deal with a new team. Also, whether brett was in on it or not, Bus has been shopping Brett around for months.

I know I'm new here too, but I think cheesey is really summing up the majority opinion among Packer fans. We love Brett, but now he's made his own bed and has to sleep in it.

My wife is a pharmacist and I asked her about how much codeine this actually is. According to her, the maximum medical dosage for codeine is 1 g per 24 hours. This would only apply to those who are in severe pain but whose tolerance to opiates has rendered smaller dosages ineffective...

That's actually a really good point Pack93z. People also seem to be forgetting how much better relations between players and management has been of late with TT in charge. Think of all the veterans who have been able to quietly approach Ted and ask to be paid their value over the last two...

The most likely time Favre started shopping around was back in May. Remember the rumors that Bus Cook was asking around the league about interest in Brett? This was also during the time period Brett was telling the Packers that he wasn't 100% committed to playing again. I'm not sure whether it...

True enough. You should try reading the full transcript when it comes out on friday. Favre is still charismatic as all hell and makes you want to believe in him. But if you only read what he is saying, a lot more of the flaws in his argument come out in my opinion. Listening to TT and...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=gnb Another good moment for Rodgers on the ESPY red carpet: Rodgers is still a trooper, Hawk vouches for TT and management, and Leinart is pulling for Favre.

Seriously? Don't you think Holmgren would have kicked Brett's *** by now? And can you imagine him trying to convince Ron Wolf about who he should keep on the roster?

drd, why the font or the anger? If they were as bad as you say, they'd be all over this Gretta interview. In it, Favre basically confirms that indeed he is an ******* and a liar. He contradicts himself, screws over Campen, and shows that he's unwilling to work to earn his job. The...

I really don't see what's so dishonest about what Thompson said. Nothing in the interviews directly conflicts with anything the Packer brass had previously said. Sure, he limited his comments on things beyond his control, but he hasn't been caught in a lie this whole process. This is my...
