It’s over and done with. I was at fault.
Yeah, I saw that. That right there, is the biggest thing I've been waiting to see from him. As for the Packers being at fault ... well, that depends on how you see it. The Packers were doing just fine and training camp was peaceful, etc. Favre is the one who rudely showed up uninvited and chose to start a circus - not the Packers. So, yeah - that whole retirement package thing and not trading him to the Vikings right away, etc. - the Packers could have gone about all that better. But, bottom line - the whole damn thing was instigated by Favre and no one else. End of story.
Back that up please. He told Jennings about the organization - good and bad. Don't embellishhim somewhat recently talking with jennings and telling him to go to the vikings.....that just don't sit right with me.

This whole thing is like an 8th grade relationship. Too many people holding onto bitter feelings for no good reason. Everyone has messy breakups. Strong people learn from and get over them eventually. I can't understand why people like the continuous torture. It must be the reality tv side of our society, always needing to perpetuate the drama like some guilty pleasure
I agree with you in regard to instigation.PackFanNChiTown - I pretty much see things exactly the way you do. Admitting he was at fault, is a huge step in moving forward. Regardless, I'd rather see an apology to MM/TT/MM/AR. As for the Packers handling it better ... they started none of this crap. Absolutely none of it. They were going about their own merry business halfway through camp and then this self-absorbed moron decided to make an appearance. Um, no. Get out. The team was put in a precarious, ridiculous position, none of which was their fault. So, handling it better? I suppose, but they instigated none of it.

"It’s over and done with. I was at fault…I feel that both sides had a part in it. If you could go back, would I or them have done things differently? I’m sure both sides would. But you can’t."

I agree with you in regard to instigation.
Read Andrew Brandt's articles on the topic, he was an eyewitness to the whole thing and wrote about it. The one thing he said was true, the Packers could have handled things better by having more open and honest discussions. IMHO retreating behind the timeline story and hiring Ari Fleischer (really? you hired a guy from Bush's staff?) were all unnecessary steps.

This is not an apology, not when one catches himself and points the finger at the other guy.
Anyone got his cell #? I would like to text him a picture of my ***.
