He generally can't tell a play how much he needs them because then they would hold out for more money. He can't let anyone know who he's favoring in free trade, because that would let other teams undercut him. He can't let a player dictate personnel decisions because that would bankrupt the team. GM's are like politicians. If they're not lying, they're not doing their job. That said, TT has never been caught in a lie to the public.  But Favre has been caught lying several times to the media throughout this process.  Check Florio's article here :<a href="http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=434609" target="_blank">http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=434609</a>When asked on july 2nd by the media whether he was trying to play football again, he responded "It's all rumor," and "There's no reason for it." That was a lie.In April, he told Peter King that trying to play for a different team "was he last thing he was thinking about" despite Bus shopping him around at the same time.I used to think he was a straight shooter too, but Favre has lost all his credibility in this fiasco.</blockquote>
