[QUOTE="AKCheese, post: 549229, member: 9828"] Trading up to get Matthews was a great move. I guess you could make some kind of twisted argument that had they handled Favres departure more appropriately and wound up with more compensation (along with NOT being dishonest and ******), they would not have traded up to get him. Maybe they wouldnt have had to trade up. But trying the Favre fiasco to Matthews is a real real stretch. I think them TT apologists ( on this matter) mix up the right of the franchise to choose their future QB, with the obligation to conduct itself in an ethical and above board manner. That's where GB as a franchise gave up its claim to be "special". People say, "well Favre did this Favre did that" , remember the old saying "I'm not Johnny's mom/dad"? My issue is not with Favre, he's an athlete they come and go. My issue is with the franchise which conducted itself in an embarrassing manner. People who don't "get it" never will, it's not about what Favre did, it's about what the Green Bay Packers did. The commissioner didn't tell Favre to knock it off, he told the Packers to knock it off ( and abide by their and the leagues contractual obligations). Fortunately for the Packers, the more time that goes by the more people forget. However as Favres HOF induction gets closer the issue is going to come up again, I hope the Packers AND Favre both handle it better this time around. I care a LOT more about how Green Bay handles it.
