Examples, telling Favre he could not come to camp (the commissioner had to intervene and publicly explain Favre's contractual status and status under the collective bargaining agreement, and instruct Packer Management to stop being ridiculous), that was embarrassing. sending somebody to Miss. to essentially try to bribe Favre to not play football again......ludicrous. Planting stories that the Vikings had tampered, the league investigated and cleared the ViQueens. Planting stories that Favre had a secret cell phone (part of the whole "tampering" smear.) every day there was a new stupid action by the Packers. Just announce that you're taking trade offers for,the guy and be done with it. Being so afraid to face Favre that when they finally, FINALLY pulled their head out of their butt to trade him (at a bargain basement price at this point due to their bungling) they tried to bury him in a place they would never have to face him again, understandable since the following year he beat them twice. It was embarrassing as a Packer fan to read how terrified they were at the prospect of ever having to face this guy again. Have the courage of your convictions, trade him, thank him for his years of service as a Packer, and with a square jaw and a set of balls say you look forward to competing against him down the road. Good lord the whole way the situation was mishandled was pathetic. Anyone who says the franchise handled the situation "well" in my opinion needs to have their head examined. And those who keep whining about " oh yeah but Brett hit me first" you sound like 5 year olds. Management should have competently handled the situation without the kind of ****** cowardly theatrics I mentioned above ( and more ). They did not. Does Favre warrant criticism? Yes he does, this thread is not about Favre peeves, it's about Packer peeves. I expect management to meet certain standards of competence and ethical behavior, in the Favre episode they failed miserably. It was a sad chapter for the franchise. If anyone can honestly defend the way the Packers handled it, all along the way, I just can't relate to your way of thinking.
