[QUOTE="PackOne, post: 232039, member: 544"] Here is a really sensible take from a guy on my blog named philski ... It’s nothing but selfishness, unfortunately, on Favres’ part. What I told a rather unrepentant Favre fan is that there is no Favre in Team. Unconditional release is not an option. The packers, I think, are taking the appropriate stand, as posted on their website. Should Favre petition to be re-instated, he will then regain his membership on the team, and management will do what is in the best interest of the team. I’d hate to play against Favre, but honestly, I don’t think I want him back as full time QB for two more years. [b]The only way he can stay in GB is if he, TT, MM and Aaron Rogers sit down and work out an amicable succession of power from Favre to Rogers, which may involve Favre sitting some games and wrecking that consecutive game streak. But I don’t see that happening.[/b] I agree with Barkley, it’s sad what he’s doing to the GB franchise and fans who have supported him through thick and thin - drug dependency, family members’ deaths, wifes’ cancer, a few poor years of football - and then to retire and go back on your word, it’s just poor form to do that to your fan base. Surely there is life after football. Apologies for the rant. I now live in Alabama, and beyond my wife there’s no one really to talk about this with. [i]I invited him to come on over...that's a good take on things.[/i] [/QUOTE]
