[QUOTE="Hauschild, post: 250767, member: 1638"] From where I stand, you have absolutely NO idea what you are writing about. First, "we" is actually Ron Wolf. Second, Favre didn't "quit" on anybody. He's the antithesis of a quitter. He wanted to play on his terms - he earned the right as a veteran with 17 years of seniority. Ted didn't want Favre to play that way, which is fine. What isn't fine is Ted attempting to Siberia Brett's rear end and black-balling him at every angle - that's chicken crap, ******-like shenanigans. I'm not sure if that comes from Ted's "different" outlook on life or not. The only people that are disrupted by Favre's departure from Green Bay are those that don't understand the concept of capitalism. I've noticed those that remained in Brett's camp tend to be on the right, whilst those that wanna burn him at the steak for pursuing his dreams float left. It stems from a fundamental refusal to accept how this country has done and does business. Furthermore, why be "loyal" to a sports team whose number one goal is to improve their bottom line? Ted Thompson doesn't care about fans - he cares about winning. Brett isn't "against" anybody. He chooses to remain gainfully employed. Like 100 percent of employees in America, "who" employs him is of little concern; that he remains employed is the legitimate reason. Why would Brett remain "loyal" to an outfit that was working feverishly behind the scenes to fire him? This makes NO sense. Put yourself in Brett's shoes - not in terms of how much he makes, but in terms of being a highly skilled worker that remains highly productive - what employer in his right mind would want to lose this type of worker??? Also, Brett did retire, but it was only because he felt unwanted by Packers brass. TT could have been more upfront with Favre from the outset and Brett's already admitted he would have had no problem playing for another team. The situation was handled terribly. Let's hope TT learned some people management skills lessons. The bottom line is that people leave jobs to better their situation every single day. People are also fired every single day. It happens. Get over it. It has nothing to do with loyalty and if you feel it does, you're not thinking reasonably. [/QUOTE]
