[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 284240, member: 1429"] Actually, no. He complained about our GM's method of building a team publicly. His retire/non-retire was a method of gaining leverage, as well as his means to skip the offseason programs. You see, the GM we had before ran a pretty light program, so almost no veterans attended. He was the one who allowed Favre to have his own locker room and such. But TT and MM tried to create what we call "packer people". A team spirit, if you will. After 2007, MM called Favre, but told him he needed a response before the offseason began. Favre didn't budge and "retired". So they moved on. When he realized that his bluff had been called, he decided to unretire and have his spot back, spot which, due to the starter RETIRING, was given to Arod. As they couldn't simply screw Rodgers, they traded Favre to a place where he wouldn't play them. Actually, in 2007, when they said he would be traded, he wanted specificly to go to MN. He was going to TB, when the Jets jumped in and offered more. So, yes, the system is there, but it wasn't because of the system. Why didn't he stay in NY? He knew the system in there. He was doing very well until he got injuried (more on injuries later on) But he decided to retire, then unretire, asked to be released, and go to MN, our arch-rival. But it's a coincidence... And I don't know about the AFC West, but the rivalry between Packers and Vikings (and Packers and Bears) is simply too big. You don't wear purple if you're a Packer fan (you don't wear orange either, except for hunting LOL). You just don't go to the arch-rival. Favre was considered the franchise's best player of all time by A LOT of fans (which is preposturous. Everyone knows Bart Starr is). We loved him to death. A lot of fans became GB fans because of him. But thing is, he was just a stupid drunk in ATL. He was still a stupid drunk in GB in the early years. The organization put up with A LOT, had faith in him, and it panned out. If it weren't for Ron Wolf, Mike Holmgren and GB, he would've ended his career 3 years after being drafted, as a nobody. Like I said, because we had such feelings for him, him going to the rival was so devastating. I cheered for the Jets the time he was there. I didn't want the team to trade him. But when he left for the arch-rival, it was over. You don the purple, I hate you, plain and simple. And regarding flip-flopping, it's just a way to skip preseason, nothing more. You think it's a coincidence he had surgery NOW, and won't be able to suit up till late in preseason? He could've had the surgery right after the NFCC game... Ultimately, Favre just wants to do it his way. That's it. From skipping preseason (every year since 05, I believe), to changing plays in the LoS (all the time in GB, and in MN, Childress even complained about it), from not reporting injuries and keep playing when he can't, and thus hurting his team (late season with Jets, NFCC game against Saints)...
