Jigga Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 It's always fascinated me about players "refusing" to play somewhere and then try to tell me playing this game is just like any other job. Back in the day when I was living in Atlanta, my dad was told he was being transferred to Baton Rouge, LA. At first he was hesitant and refused, but he was told he'd be out of a job if he didn't go. Why not do that for Farve?1. Your dad didn't make 12 million bucks a year.2. If the Pack are stupid enough to let that hissy-fit throwing bitch ass prima donna with a God complex walk, he'll be out of work for about 3.5 seconds.

Cujo Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Favre has no interest in playing for Tampa Bay or the New York JetsI don't quite understand this, but what the makes Minnesota or Chicago more appealing to Favre than New York or Tampa Bay? Does he not like the personel or the system they run in NY or TB, or does Brett just want to stick it to the Packers that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he not like the personel or the system they run in NY or TB, or does Brett just want to stick it to the Packers that much?Gruden likes people that stick to his plan and the Jets aren't close enough to make it worth his while. Minnesota has a good defense and running offense. Favre in place of T Jackson makes them a contender. Bevell runs a similar offense like the Pack. As for Chicago, I think the media throws them in because they have no answer at QB. For Brett, if he can't have the Packer job, the Vikings is the only other suitable situation.

If the Pack "fires" him, which one can only assume is the same as releasing him, he gets what he wanted at the very start of all this. Then Farve get to sign where he wants, and the Pack ends up with no compensation what so ever.

quantum Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The Packers should take him back and ride this out until someone goes down elsewhere. It's a gamble, but other action could be worse. It's not like they don't have the cap space to do it. If Brett becomes a disruption, suspend him. But don't give him his outright release.

Does he not like the personel or the system they run in NY or TB, or does Brett just want to stick it to the Packers that much?Its quite simple really....its the "if i cant play for you,let me try to beat you twice a year" mentality.I think if Rodgers outplays him the rest of camp they should make him hold a clipboard the rest of the year.

Still doesn't mean Rodgers job is up for grabs. In interviews with Thompson and Murphy tonight, they are being very careful with wording to questions being asked.

Yankeefan38 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Brett Farve just arrived in Green Bay and some fans outside the gates were chanting "We want Brett!"

NEW.ERA Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Aaron Rodgers could probably go to a few teams and won't get treated like he is here also does this mean the Madden Curse is back in effect?
