    Favre: Thompson wanted my *** out of the door.

    Re: Favre: Thompson wanted my *** out of the door. People should read the full interview in the New York paper's. The ProFootballTalk summary does not do the story justice. Favre's description of the meeting with Thompson is very revealing. It confirms, in a painful way, what we all know...

    Why is this happening?

    There is a misperception about what Favre said during his Fox interview. People on this and other forums are claiming that Favre was playing GM, trying to tell Thompson who to sign, etc., and lambasting Favre for thinking he should have input on management decisions. The actual interview and...

    To those who oppose a Release

    Doughsellz: Yes I know what I typed. And I hated typing it. I would love Favre to play for Green Bay this year and beyond. And as an interesting aside, Terrell Davis has said that if John Elway had flip-flopped on the Broncos, there is absolutely no question that owner Pat Bowlen, Coach...

    To those who oppose a Release

    At the risk of starting a firestorm, I introduce the name Terrell Owens. His situation with the Eagles can be instructive. Owens became a huge distraction for the Eagles. He challenged the quarterback. He challenged management. He challenged the coach. He brought all sorts of media...

    Is Ted Thompson A Strategic Genius?

    I am serious. We have now learned that Campen was used as a Henry Kissinger-like emsissary between the Packers and Favre. We also know that Campen recently told Favre that if Favre backs the Packers into a corner, the team will have to welcome him back. At first thought, this looked like...

    Favre Interview

    There is a point that appears to need clarification. Favre did not say during the interview that McCarthy told him on June 20 that he could have until training camp to make up his mind. Favre said that McCarthy told him on June 20 that if Favre had said back in February that he needed until...

    Favre Interview

    A few reactions. First, no one should judge the interview based on the news reports. You should watch it yourself, because Favre says a lot more than what the news stories are reporting. Second, as always, Favre is a compelling personality. Third, Favre made it clear that the Packers...

    A compromise?

    I am old enough to remember the Craig Morton/Roger Staubach quarterback controversy in Dallas. The year was 1971. Landry decided to start Morton and Staubach in alternating games. Then, in the ninth game against the Chicago Bears, during the days when coaches did not have radio contact with...

    Actually, This Could Work Out Perfectly

    Aaron Rodgers has spent the last several months playing the role of starting quarterback. He has gotten all the reps with the No. 1 offense during minicamps and OTAs. McCarthy has installed some new tweaks to suit his strengths. And the team has accepted him as a possible number 1. He is...

    Montana/Young v. Favre/Rodgers

    Excellent points. Another point to consider: at the time, the 49ers also had Steve Bono as a third quarterback. When both Young and Montana were injured in 1991, Bono played very well during a 5-game stretch. So the 49ers knew that if they traded Montana to clear the way for Young, they...

    Robert Ferguson gets treated better than Favre?

    Yes, the Jay Glazer story about a flip/flop in late March or April is troubling. I would like to hear Favre's side of the story. Favre appears to be telling his story through Chris Mortensen and Peter King, while the Packers are talking through Glazer. As I stated in the original post, I...

    Robert Ferguson gets treated better than Favre?

    Just to be clear, my greatest desire is that Favre start for the Packers against the Vikings. If the Packers do not want that, I want to see him play somewhere, because he is still the most entertaining player to watch in the NFL. And because of all the enjoyment he has given us, I would like...

    Robert Ferguson gets treated better than Favre?

    The 49ers released Jerry Rice. During his last year with SF, he still had value, catching 75 passes for seven touchdowns. The 49ers offered Rice $1 million to retire as a 49er, or a release. Rice took the release and signed with the cross-town rival Raiders (similar to a Favre to Minnesota...

    Robert Ferguson gets treated better than Favre?

    I am a Packers fan first, a Brett Favre fan second, and a NFL fan third. What the Packers organization is threatening to do to Favre is not good for Green Bay’s image, cruel to Favre, and horrific for the NFL. I do not fault Green Bay for not wanting Favre back. I do think it is bizarre...
