(and here's why...)
Imagine you are the new GM of a storied franchise with a winning tradition and a HOF QB on your roster that only has a few years left in his illustrious career...
When asked in your press conference after firing Mike Sherman if Brett Favre is in your plans for the GB Packers do you....
A. Say to the press and media of Green Bay and the world that you are happy to have such a proven, winning veteran on your team and that you are going to do everything in your power as GM to make the GB Packers a competitive, winning franchise that is going to make a run for a championship NOW while we still have Brett Favre on our team for the remaining years of his storied career....?
or
B. Mumble under your breath that "He's still under contract isn't he..with an angry tone and hostile glare at the press..."...??
TT has to be the WORST GM at public relations in Packer history....I don't care what any poster here says..the public perception of TT's relations with Favre is that he seems to not want him around, or to not want to deal with him...
Favre said as much at the end of last year..."I don't know if I am in the Green Bay Packer's plans...", and that statement wasn't refuted or put to rest by the Packer organization, or by TT in particular....
If TT does wan't Favre back...he has a funny way of showing it...and let's face it...in this society without proof to the contrary...perception is EVERYTHING...!
TT has created a public relations nightmare and obviously Favre isn't too happy with the way he's being treated by the new regime which was evident in his much analyzed statement..."What are they gonna do...trade me?"
IMO..TT has not been scrutinized nearly enough for his FA moves and relationship with Favre by the GB Press, and he seems to getting treated with kid gloves....
My question is...why..?
