[QUOTE="PackOne, post: 236326, member: 544"] [url="http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/08/30/favre-thompson-wanted-to-get-my-***-out-the-door/"]http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/08/ ... -the-door/[/url] Jets quarterback Brett Favre sat down with some reporters in New York today and detailed the talks he had this off-season with Packers General Manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy. It’s clear that Favre doesn’t have warm memories of either, especially Thompson. In an amusing portion of his interview with the New York Post, Favre talks about the visit that Thompson made to his Mississippi home after the NFL draft. Favre said he thought they were going to talk about him potentially coming back, but instead they talked about an odd offer that Thompson made. “Then he kind of gets quiet,” Favre said, recalling what Thompson said to him, “and says, ‘We want to do something special for you, and what do you think if we …’ and these were his words exactly, ‘dismantle your locker and send it to you.’ “I was like, ‘What the hell are you talking about?’ I was like, ‘Um, OK Ted, great.’ “He said, ‘It’s going to be your locker, we’ll send it to you. Now, it’s going to be in a box.’ “I’m thinking, ‘Way to get my *** out the door.’ That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard of. What the hell am I going to do with a locker? So I just said, ‘Oh, OK, Ted, that’s great.’” Favre also recounted his conversations with McCarthy, saying to the New York Daily News that when he first told the Packers’ coach of his intention to return, the response was: “Oh, God, Brett, you’re putting us in a tight spot.” And Favre, to this day, isn’t sure why McCarthy thinks that — because Favre still thinks he would have been better for the Packers this season than Aaron Rodgers. “I think Aaron Rodgers will do a real good job, barring injury,” Favre said, “but if you’re a betting man and said, ‘Who gives us the best chance to win right now?’ … This isn’t bragging, but I think I would. Aaron may play great, and they’ll look like geniuses, but to not welcome me back … I just assumed it was the fear of upsetting Aaron, not only now but in the future. To me, that’s ridiculous, totally ridiculous.” [/QUOTE]
