They say they are going to let him compete for the starting job. Like we don't know who will win and deserves it. I wonder what Rodgers thinks. The true question is this: who needs a quarterback that can play right now ans are willing to give Green Bay the farm to get Farve? The second question is: how long before he is traded?

The Chiefs. Cept they got no farm to give. Gave it all away to get Joe Montana way back when... as if it helped. Yeah, I can say it... I'm a Chiefs fan.

McCarthy and Favre met on Monday Night rfom 6:00PM until after 11:00 PM and they were scheduled to talk again this morning...Favre was scheduled to practice today...so the tension mounts.

that's just creepy...... I am so glad that Tom Brady is a class act!!

Puh-leeeeeeeeze.  Let's be honest Darlene, Brady is FAR from a class act.  Other than on the football field.  But it's easy to be classy when you're always winning.  Brett Favre was ALWAYS considered a class act during his first 16 years with the Pack, so there's still time for Brady to show himself to be no better in that area either.

And on a PERSONAL level?  Favre beats Brady hands down. 

I like ya Darlene, but I think you're suffering from a little homerism

Speaking of class acts, not sure if it's true or not, but MSNBC is reporting that after their marathon talk last night Favre came to the decision he doesn't want to disrupt the chemistry of the team and that his return to Green Bay would do just that.  Talk of a trade is back on the table.

Again, that's just a rumor from MSNBC at this point.

Well, if you DID want 20 minutes with Favre you'd have to fight off his extremely devoted wife.

If you want 20 minutes with Brady I hear it's not too hard to get. You just gotta be a model and then take a number

zing!

I feel like we're in elementary school.

BF "I'm tired, I don't want to play anymore."

BF "Can I play?"
GB "You said you didn't want to play anymore, so we found someone else to play with us."
BF "But I want to play!!!"
GB "Here, we'll give you a cookie if you don't play."
BF "But I want to play!!!"
GB "Fine, you can come play with us."
BF "I don't want to play with you."

Argh! I'm sick of hearing about it!

It never should have happened.

Yeah, I was thinking about that.

Personally I want him back because we have no other quarterbacks with any experience at all really, but you're right, a bad throw, a bad game, and a lot of the "fans" will be yelling that he should have stayed retired.

I think he'd be under just as much scrutiny as people fear Rodgers will be.

Like I said, it should have been over a long time ago.

Favre shouldn't have retired. Once he did, if he wanted to come back he and the team should have handled it internally before it hit the press.

The thing is, I believe Thompson wanted him to move on three years ago.

It is always sad to see the great ones leave the game. Believe me... I wish the Chiefs had a quarterback. I wish we had ANYBODY. A "building year" sucks... we are having YET ANOTHER one here in KC..., but in the long run it would be the best thing for both Favre and the Packers organization. In football years, great as the man is, he is 3 days older than God. It is time for him to pass the ball to someone else and walk away with his head held high.

 You know, I used to think that too.  But over the years I've come to beleive players aren't really judged on their final years.  It doesn't tarnish their legacy to hang on too long.

I mean, Reggie White retired one off-season, then changed his mind and played another average year with the Pack, then he retired for a whole year, came back out of retirement to play with Tenessee for a mostly crappy year and finally retired for real.

I never think of that stuff when I think of White, and I never notice anyone in the Press talking about it.  He's just referred to as the Packer great and people think about the good years, not the bad.

I'd rather see Favre leave to late than too early.

However, I have to admit I'm spoiled.  I came to football late.  My first year of being a fan was the year he first came to Green Bay.  He's the only quarterback I've ever known.  It hurts to see him go if he doesn't have to.

I don't even want to deprive ME of potential joy. Somebody has to have a good team this year. I just happen to know the heartbreak of what can happen. Yes... Joe Montana did have some terrific games in KC. We were SOOOOO happy when he came here to QB our team. Hopes were high... we just KNEW he was going to win us the Superbowl. Alas, no... not his fault, but every bad play was viewed as "And how much did we pay for this guy?". One man cannot do it alone (ask Larry Johnson). After having our hopes for a purchased Superbowl dashed, he traded back to the 49ers and retired. KC in misery again, feeling like a pathetic footnote on his playing card. I'm sure it is all viewed differently in San Francisco but here we just shake our heads. If Favre is traded to the Vikings, I have a feeling the same thing will happen.

I need to clarify that last post.  I will not watch another Packer game while Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy are at the helm if they trade Favre.  Once those fools are gone I'll be back.
