[QUOTE="bigbyfan, post: 233890, member: 1125"] I read this on SI.com Why Favre is mad at Packers Posted: Tuesday July 15, 2008 05:45AM ET Brett Favre wanted to clear the air Monday in his increasingly bitter standoff with the Green Bay Packers. He ended up kicking up a cloud of dust. Whether Favre provided some clarity in an interview with Fox News Network's Greta Van Susteren remains a matter of debate. What is clear is that Favre, in a carefully orchestrated chat with Van Susteren, a Wisconsin native and Packers shareholder, detailed anger and frustration with both the franchise and specifically general manager Ted Thompson over his future and his past. In the transcript, Favre expressed frustration with three incidents in the recent Packers past involving Thompson. In one instance, Favre told Van Susteren that "I worked my butt off two years ago to try to get them to sign Randy Moss," adding that he was willing to give up salary to land the talented receiver. But Favre said Thompson denied publicly that Favre had lobbied to get Moss, which Favre said was not the case. Moss signed with the New England Patriots. In a second instance, Favre said he once tried to convince Thompson to re-sign Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle, two key linemen, but the two got away and signed elsewhere. In a third case, Favre told Van Susteren he tried to convince Thompson to interview Steve Mariucci, an old friend, for the head coaching job vacated by Mike Sherman. Favre said Thompson ended up hiring Mike McCarthy instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ God forbid the GM doesn't do exactly as Brett Favre wants. If I am not mistaken, Ted's choice to ignore Brett's opinion worked out pretty well. Shortly after cutting Rivera, he ended up breaking down and was never the same. Wahle is no longer what he once was either. Choosing to hire MM worked out okay IMHO, he has only taken our team from 4-12 to 13-3 in two years. BUT HOW DARE TED THOMPSON DO WHAT HE THINKS IS BEST FOR THE FRANCHISE!!!! [/QUOTE]
