The Packers blew it with Andy Reid too and I could easily see Favre with the Eagles. Here's the problem. The Packer Exec. Committee (a bunch of old men with no brains), McCarthy and Thompson don't want to see Favre play anywhere. The problem isn't that Favre may go to a team that will kick Green Bay's butt. The problem is that Favre will go to a team and take that team to the Super Bowl while the Packers are laying in the basement somewhere with Rodgers. That bunch that is heading up the Packers will do everything they can to keep Favre out of football. So, it really doesn't matter when he throws his helmut into the ring.

The Saints stunk with Archie. They have always stunk. Their best season ever was 2 years ago. What're you talking about?

Hey Rev Joe. Sure, all the things you wrote about are much more important. But "THIS IS A SPORTS SITE", People are here to talk about sports. If you want to talk about all that other stuff, go to a tree hugger site. Except the troops. Lets bring them home, so they can get into the saga of Green Bay management and Favre

Why would anyone want to see Brett play for another team. It's just too hard to swallow. If he goes to MN, that will be an outrage. Worse than Montana going to Kansas City, and Rice going to Oakland. Even if he ends up in New Orleans, it will just be a shame to let him leave Green Bay. I met him his first year in Green Bay, I was 11. He is the only QB I really remember. And since he still has the stuff to play, let him. And if I can remember correctly people, he only had one retirement. He just flirted with retirement the other seasons, but who could blame him. Tell me you have never been tired at the end of the day, or contemplated quitting your job. You would be full of @$%## if you said no. He made a premature decision to retire, but thought hard about it, and knows he wants to return. Did Jordan suck when he went back the NBA? Nope... Just give the guy a chance to show you he still has it, and bring the fun back to Green Bay. And that's bull if you don't think he can handle the cold. Hell, I'm 28, and from Northern WI, and he can handle the cold better than me for the most part. Don't trash a Legend, embrace it, and lets see what he can do. Cause we all should know after all the years, he will not disapoint us.

Most of what we see and hear is really just what the media people believe that will get their stuff published and start people talking. Most of it is just made up or their own beliefs. We have so much crap going around, it pathetic! Britney Spears, Madonna, Bragilina, Cruse, this so-called political race; it's race all right; but that sells. Look at the Cardasian farce. The jails are too crowded to keep a DUI conviction? Sounds like Hilton! Wasn't too crowded for M. Stewart... What's wrong with this picture? Don't we have better things to do than bash Brett for doing what he thinks is right - and the Packers Mgmt for doing what they think is right? Shouldn't we be more concerned about global warming; gas prices; solar power; exhausting our landfills; and not only bringing our troops home, but taking care of them as well? Shouldn't we stop paying for and supporting the UN in NY and let them move it to another country and let them flip the bill while they do nothing to help the world hunger, conflicts and disasters? All we have to talk about is movie stars, music stars and sports players and crap? Last comment: If Brett does get released, then I would like to see him take his family home to MS and go to play for the N.O. Saints. They would love to win even a division title. They've stunk since Archie..... The city and state would love to see someone WIN beside LSU. And he'd be close to his family which would be nice for them also.

A New Englands fan perspective on FAH-VAH....Brett is one of the most explosive yet self-centered QB in history? Do you agree?....Read on...Brett was a key player in the parting of the ways with Mike Holgram...Brett is BURGER KING...He wants it his way....Dont get me wrong here folks.....He has Energy, Personality and Charisma.....He would be that man that you want beside you in a foxhole......He has IT!....He has never been a 16 TD/20 Int type.....He gets frustrated at times and throws the playbook away with his fake BOMBS and fake HB flips.....Brett has an addictive personality...Thats why he cant walk away.......Forget the fact that he has retired 30 times.....He cant walk away....Brett Favre is better than 75 percent of the starting QB'S in the NFL right now.....Is he throwing catch me if you can passes? NO.....Is he losing control of the offense? NO....Is he going through the motions ALA...Joe Willy Namath, Joe Montana, and even Drew Bledsoe?.....NO!!...Brett has one and I repeat one year left in that beat up body of his....He will hopefully go out with style and grace after this season......We all know the theatrics of it all....Will he end up in Buffalo? NO.......Miami? ...Nah.....Philly?...I doubt it....Chicago or Minny? MAYBE.....It sells tickets and pays the bills at the FAVRE residence......Is Aaron Rodgers getting stiffed here?....Who cares.?....As rough a comment as it sounds...Its life.....Can you name Dan Marinos backup?.....How about Steve Youngs?.....How about Tom Bradys?....We dont care......We care about now......And now is Brett FAV-RAHS 3rd Anti-retirement parade........I dont know about the rest of the country but NEW ENGLAND Loves it.....Forget the egos, the football signings, the goalpost spikings..Brett Favre is a true American who,like it or not will become a Viking....................PEACE

green bay staged a rally for frave and 200 people showed up. milwaukee staged a rally for farve and 30 showed up. most folks from wisconsin are very dissappointed in bretts antics....

Bret has been a great QB and could probably still play for some team but he is getting older and any team has to look to the future. What will he do if they bring him back this time, pull the same childish stunt next year? Bret you are on top now so go out that way.

greensleeves,<br />I just want him to get released with a little class. Green Bay management could do this but instead seems intent on making sure Brett doesn't end up on a decent team ( example stalling tactis with the Viking tampering charges).

Again people, get over it. Who cares about how much crying Farve is doing? He shouldn't have quit, bottom line. You can't quit every season, and then expect to be welcomed back. Get over it!! Let's move on to something else, like getting ready for football season, which....Mr. Farve will not be doing, ha...or at least in Green Bay.

faRVe is a d-bag...go away FOOL!

The GM just wants to play hardball with Brett. Yeah, yeah Ted, we know you are the GM. Big whoopdidoo!!! You work for the people of Green Bay. Remember that. And for all the supposed fans, how can you say, get lost Brett? Just because he wants back in, you are ready to lynch the man. Get over it. Support the man. Cause if he does come back to Green Bay (Hope to God he does) you know you will be saying, "oh, I wanted him to come back the whole time". @$## on you then. Support him now, and don't become two faced. Let him play where he wants to play, and that's in Lambeau

Hey Ted,<br /><br />If your not scared of Brett, why won't you just free him ?

I cannot beleive the cold way Brett Favrte's being treated by the coach and GM. After all the good that he's done for the entire Packer organization as well as the whole NFL, they treat him this way??? It's a sad day in Packer country when the greatest QB in not only our history, but arguably the NFL's as a whole can't come back just a few months after announcing his retirement and be welcomed with open arms by his team.This , for me, just shines a brigt light on the "rumor's" that have circulated about how hard headed and cold Ted Thompson can be. I've heard this about him before but this just proves it. I'm not 100 % in Favre's corner either. But, the more I hear about how the teams managment are treating him now and in the past the more I'm getting behind Favre. What a tragic way for Brett's "star" to be getting tarnished.

Hello men .... I strongly suggest you get more from ((((++ w w w . Black White Meet . c o m ++)))) where you can meet many cute single sports lovers, both black and white who enjoying chatting sports and stars.. It is a place where I keep meeting many BLACK and WHITE single beauties... <br />Black White Meet . c o m ==== it really works black and white sports lovers

How much is Bretts salary supposed to be in 2008 ??<br />Would that put Green Bay in a Salary Cap Crisis ??<br />If these fools don't want Brett to come back & play QB for them, then trade him or outright release him..<br />I wouldn't want to be in that GM or Head Coachs shoes if they let him go & then have a terrible season !!<br />I think everyone including Brett realizes he put them in a position where they drafted 2 QBs to help cover his retirement !!<br />Teams always say it's a business, so play Brett or Let him play for another team !!<br />Go Brett !!

it is about time that some Packer fans defend Brett.<br /> Brett has said all along that he has not felt welcome. I think TT has made a point of that being the case. Not just this year but the last couple of years. That is why the uncertinty of play or retire.<br /> People keep saying that Brett has strung the Packers along for the last few years.<br /> Remember he is not the one who brought up retirement, the media did. <br /> Based on his age and bad stats due mostly due to team injuries and rebuilding a young team.<br /> Right now Payton Manning is number one, just wait until he loses his receivers due to injury and the team goes thru a rebuilding process like the Packers just did.<br /><br /> Nobody even realizes they did go thru a rebuilding process. AND WHY, because the had the QB in place.<br /> The 49ers and Cowboys of the 90s with Aikman and Young have gone thru their rebuilding process and look what happened.<br /> The Cowboys went 6-10 for three yrs and haven't won a playoff game for over 11 years. The 49ERS even worse.<br /> Green Bay has been competitive all the way thru and that is due to Brett mostly.<br /> HE DESERVES THE RESPECT AND RIGHT to come back and start this season if he so chooses.<br /> The Packers are getting ready to go down the path of no return. <br /> They will always survive, but how will the organization be remembered.<br /> Like Philly fans, throwing snowballs at Santa.<br /> Elway refusing to go to Indy.<br /> Or maybe going back to the days of the battle of the bays, GB AND TB. two bad teams that no one cared about.

Is it just me or is anyone else sick of hearing about this mess??? The guy said "enough, I am calling it a career...then all of a sudden he wants to play again (note, did this twice). Retire already! Get over it, and just retire. There has got to be a lot more interesting stories than this out there....I mean, this is so old. Again, just quit already, suck it up, and shut up!

A message from Eric Krueger:First off Mr. Holier than thou Mr. Ted Thompson, your job--if that is what u call what u are doing---should have been Mike Holmgren's job, and the only reason u got the position BECAUSE of good ol # 4. If u are trying to have a pissing contest--YOU WILL LOSE--In fact YOU ARE LOSING the battle, and unless u make the correct choice for a change, I think Wisconsin might just have a new hunting season---ANYONE SEEN OR HEARD ANY TED THOMPSON'S RUNNING ROUND----GET IT DUMMY. LET IT GO, BRING THE MAN WHO MADE THE TEAM SINCE LOMBARDI'I BACK. It's not what you want--IT IS WHAT WE WANT---GET IT--U say u have power and control. WELL babies SHOULDN'T BE IN CONTROL. You have made MANY MANY MANY boneheaded calls and trades and what not. How much longer we gonna keep raising talented players to give to other teams 4 trades. What about keeping the AMAZING talent you have. NO BRETT FAVRE--TICKET SALES WILL PLUMMIT, AND THEN U WON'T HAVE A JOB TO GO TO. GIVE US WHAT WE WANT, not what u think we need. NO MORE THINKING, just DO :) Quit pissing people off, and maybe, just maybe u'll be lucky enough to escape out of this with your manhood, pride, and everything else intact. To be perfectly honest I feel u suck as a person, you lie about everything. and guess what TED, times they are a changing. Maybe u don't bring Farve back, then let him go. Either way U forced his hand by doing how u do. Grow up, man up, be honest, no more lying, make an apology to Brett and the public--let us know u know u ****ed up royally as usual, and we can all just move on. Give us what we want or we'll MAKE sure u get traded or fired--get it--u work 4 us chief, act like it :) No respect 4 u anymore :) Eric

Poochai just said it perfectly
