[QUOTE="America, post: 250780, member: 454"] Surprisingly, Hauschild, you've actually made some very astute observations here. But I've bolded the points where I think you've erred and corrected them below. OK. #1. Favre actually did quit. It's called retirement, and it happened on March 4, 2008. What Favre wanted was to skip all the tedious offseason activities....you know, the ones which made 2007 such a successful season....and just show up in time for the exhibition season, like he did with Minnesota this year. You may think he "earned" that by being a vet; IMO, the Packers deserve a full-time QB who can commit to the team and nobody "earns" the right to be a part-time professional QB. And as far as what Thompson did, he protected the interests of the Packers and that's his job. Why would you trade him to a division rival when you could trade him out of conference? That would just be stupid. And the rhetoric that you employed is shameful and would only be uttered by a guy who wants Favre to beat the Packers because he is a Favre fan masquerading as a Packer fan. And don't deny it or I'll post the link to where you said it. #2 I understand capitalism pretty well, as my 401K could attest. And politically, I'm a conservative. My disagreement with your statement is that I think it's disingenuous in the extreme to contend that this was "just business." It's not. #3 Brett Favre has told too many people in too many settings of his desire to "stick it" to the Packers, and he tried unsuccessfully to get his media allies to run defamatory stories about Thompson. Too many of Favre's kin have stepped up to the mike and talked crap about how Favre feels about Thompson. Saying that he isn't "against" anybody is just wishful thinking on your part that ignores FACTS that you don't want to acknowledge. #4 Brett (and I love how you always use his first name, like he's a personal friend or something) didn't retire because he felt unwanted.....he specifically stated that at his retirement (unless, of course, he was lying through his tears....a distinct possibility, considering how untruthful he's been). He retired because he didn't want to participate in the drudgery of offseason activities. Once the offseason was over, he was ready to play and came to Green Bay waiting to get his job back. If he felt unwanted in March, then why did he suddenly feel wanted in July after he'd been told repeatedly that he couldn't be our starting QB any longer? I get that you adore and idolize him Hauschild, and you're entitled to your own opinion. But you aren't entitled to your own facts. Favre wouldn't committ to being a full-time QB for the Packers, the Packers deserved that much, they moved on and Favre began his quest for vengeance. That's the story. [/QUOTE]
