[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 676842"] Well, I think you have to discount that since the intent was to have Favre back if he met the reasonable, minimal expectations of showing up for work on time, and then "later" was acceptable until the point of no return, while playing under the existing contract. There are currently 43 members of the board of directors, 7 of whom are on the executive committee including Murphy. There must be a number of those directors who have marginal or no influence. As in any situation, it depends on who is doing the yelling, and if it isn't Murphy, which it evidently was not in this case, it may not matter much. Murphy functions as the CEO even if his title is merely "President" and we don't need to get into what that implies. One important qualification for that job in an organizational structure like the Packers would be to deflect kibitzing without pissing people off. Tough, tough job. However, he's paid far, far more than a CEO of a private sector $400 million/year revenue corporation would be paid, so I would expect all of the major bucks to stop in his office. It would not surprise me if Ariens was doing the yelling. He strikes me as a guy who would be interested in buying the franchise if he could, with a sense of self-importance that may exceed his grasp. Some non-Executive Committee member may have little more clout than I do, which as you know equates to zero. [/QUOTE]
