How anyone can prefer frigid weather to the tropical oasis we have down here is crazy. But Im a Florida boy so JMO. Does this mean Washingon is a legit landing spot?
Has he even handed in his papers to be reinstated yet? In the interview I saw the other night he didn't seem completely positive that he was coming back.
The little boy can't make up his little mind what he wants, he never grew up, and doesn't want to grow up now. He likes playing in the snow, y'know, making snow angels and stuff. So give little Brett a break here, he wants to play, in the snow. We like that, 'cause we don't want the little boy anywhere near this team now do we?
I think he still ends up staying in GB. No team wants him anymore. The teams mentioned in his interest were the Panthers, Ravens, Bucs, and Dolphins I believe. None of those teams are interested because either they have stated they will not pursue him or it is too hot to play there. If he indeed does come back, I think he's back in GB as a starter or backup. In response to Hardkorexxx, I don't think he'd end up in Washington because they aren't anywhere near a Super Bowl. Snyder does like to spend a lot of money and make splashes but I can't see how they go after Favre when its basically going to be a stop gap for them. Campbell only has 20 starts under his belt and hasn't had a fair chance because of the starts and his receivers have been injured. No he hasn't applied for reinstatement. Therefore, he is not part of the NFL nor the Packers and he's asking to get released.
All he has to do, as far as I know, is send a formal letter requesting reinstatement. He can probably just fax it. He's on retirement reserve. He is a part of the packers. and part of the NFL. Just like "injured reserve" players are. He may have already sent this letter, this is what all the hubbub is about. Once received, packers must reinstate prudently or release him. So it's possible he hasn't sent the letter yet, and that he's pre-posturing to get what he wants, and then send the letter. But the letter is easy.
I thought when you retire, you aren't part of the NFL or the team? My guess is that they put him on the injured/retired list? Thanks for correcting me.
On ESPN, they just showed Favre's agents interview regarding reinstatement. He stated that there would be no reason file for reinstatement and then have the Packers fine him $15,000 for missing camp. Michael Clemens, reporter of Milwaukee radio, says that Favre has stated he will file his papers for reinstatement. Is it just me or are Favre and his agent not on the same page? One says one thing and then the other does the opposite.
Can we please send JT and Favre to the international space station for 3 years and replace them both with some of theose space chimps? I'm sooo sick of both of their stupid asses.
Just because Favre is from Mississippi doesn't mean he likes to play in hot weather. You can always put on extra clothes and a heavy jacket to warm up, it is much harder trying to cool off and stay cool in high temp/humidity. I think sooner or later someone has to blink. I think Green Bay is going to have to deal him away....the only NFC team I see him going to is maybe Washington. I would say Miami probably only has maybe a 10% shot?....they would likely have to trade JT to the Packers. We'll see who blinks first.
I think that Favre doesn't want to have any part of TC (mind you he tried to skip it last year to plan his daughters HS grad party) so thats why they wont file the reinstatement right now. He just wants GB to say, "ok Brett come back at the end of August and we'll pretend nothing ever happened". My guess is that he files for reinstatement after or in the middle of camp. I really doubt he would humble himself enough to "compete" with Rodgers for the job so he'll likely sit out and pout for a trade. If they don't trade him and he doesn't start (I HIGHLY doubt he ever starts in GB while Rodgers is there and healthy) then I would assume he would go back to retirement or sit out the season. Not that I wouldnt love to see him ride the bench all year after all this garbage.
I thought so too but apparently he is filing for reinstatement at the end of the week and is expected to show up to GB's TC according to his own words. I think he ends up back in GB because as of now he doesn't have any suitors and every team is reluctant to give up the compensation that GB is asking for which now stands at a 1st or 2nd rounder. I don't understand what good it would be for him to sit out. He still has 3 years left on his deal and he would likely be getting fined every day for missing practice, etc. If he were to sit out, he would be in this same situation next off-season. It would be even worse for him because the possibilities of him going to another team would be slimmer due to his age and GB's asking price.
I duno I dont understand anything he's doing (prob bc hes a moron). Hes contradicted himself so many times that nothing would suprise me at this point. Maybe he thinks that showing up to camp will make GB and their fans support him again? or enough to have his job back. Seems strange though because I remember watching his interview and he was real sarcastic with the idea of competing with Rodgers. I duno whats worse: Watching all his drama now, or having to listen to him as an analyst when ESPN inevidably gives him a job. I wish he'd just go back to slingin Levis and leave us alone.
Yeah, he doesn't make sense anymore to me either. Maybe. Today on ESPN they asked Michael Clemens about the fans in GB and how they feel about him. He stated that a good percentage (70%-80%) of the fans dislike Favre now. Yeah in the second part of his interview on Fox, he was talking about his legacy. He was saying about how the Packers shouldn't give a damn about his legacy and "why the hell should they care" about it. I still think he ends up in GB if he indeed does comeback.
To add to my post above, Favre now states that he has no immediate plans to apply for reinstatement. This guy is so confusing.
