[QUOTE="aaronqb, post: 286574, member: 2237"] Tough question ... both were pretty bad. In the case of Favre, I feel both Favre and the Packers handled it poorly. Bottom line is once Favre decided to retire the Packers decided to move on and did not look back. The marketing offer seemed a little silly at the time; Favre's interview with Greta was pretty bad also. But, at the end of the day, the Packers are in a better spot with a contending team and Favre is in a better spot for him with a very good veteran team that needed only a QB. And both the Packer brand and the Favre brand have thrived. In the case of LeBron, again both sides handled it poorly. I feel LeBron was wrong to make such a big spectacle and announce to his employer of 7 years and his city on national TV that he would be leaving. Seems like a huge slap in the face to me. And, Gilbert has come off with little class with his comments and letters. While it still needs to play itself out, I don't think the Cavs recover from this very quickly - it'll probably be 10 years until they contend again. For LeBron, I think this ends up hurting his legacy and his brand even if he wins championships since it will not be his team (like in Cleveland), but instead a situation where he is one of two (or three). So, I guess I talked myself into saying that the LeBron/Cavs split is worse. [/QUOTE]
