OK guys here is the scoop.  The GM since drafting a QB number 1 a few years ago wanted to get rid of Brett.

He knew he had to find out if his newly drafted QB could hack the NFL.  After all he spent big bucks on the new kid.

His dilema?  How can I afford paying these two huge salaries.  One has to go.  Instead of being diplomatic about
the situation, talking with farve about a possible back up role and a slight cut in general he helped farve along the
retirement route.  He knew farve still had it in him, but knew he couldn't afford both QBs.  HE ALSO knew that Farve
was attractive to Minnesota and HE DID NOT WANT FARVE  playing against the packers.  The GM wanted it his way.

He knew farve still could play better then 75% of the QBs in the NFL and he didn't want him beating the Packers.

the Packers GM found out he couldn't have his cake and eat it too!  Farve initially agreed to retire.  I'll bet after some
thought that farve said "Hey....this guys is trying to get me out of the way!"  He doesn't want to pay two QBs, and he
doesn't want me to play football for a team in his conference.  Thus...the Jets.  Farve showed he could still do it.
Unfortunately he tried to play through an arm injury and couldn't.

SO....in my opinion   GM fostered this drama.  He could have let Farve go to Minnesota.  He didn't.  Instead he traded the QBs
rights to the Jets stipulating that THEY WOULDN"T TRADE HIM TO MINNESOTA.  Now if that isn't a selfish motive on the Packers
GM I don't know what is!

Is there drama.....yes...way to much.  But this isn't Farves fault alone.

The GM of the Packers has more to do with this drama then farve does.  The GM by his selfish actions caused this problem
and knew dam well if farve played for Minnesota he would be thumped by the Green Bay fans and probably beaten on the
field also by the Vikings keeping Green Bay out of the  playoffs.  by the way...Green Bay didn't do so well with the new QB
did they?  Ya think they might have been better with farve and a healthy arm?  I do

Greed is a funny thing.  Ask the GM of the Packers.  The Vikings will probably win the division with Farve.  And the Pack will
be eating cheese during the playoffs.

BTW, I'm not a packers or vikings fan.  I'm a football fan.  Cleveland Browns as a matter of fact.

And we haven't had professional football in NE Ohio for quite awhile

Well let's not get carried away. They were the pre-season champs last year at 4-0 and they have succesfully defended that record this pre-season. (baby steps)

I cant really say i agree with that Hajo..... Yeah the GM could of handled things differently but he isnt the one that even last year said im done im retired Farve did after his stint with the Jets....  Farve also came out and said im not signing with the Vikings and then he did... Drama queen that needs to go away... To me its quite pathetic.. Either retire or dont its getting quite annoying.

[Hajo]

He did retire.  the Vikings head Coach talked him into playing.  The Vikings deal was off.

If someone threw 12 million dollars in my lap....I'd play too.

Everything has a price.  Farve could have been in Minnesota last year except for the greed and
deception of the Packers GM.  I've never heard before...Oh yea...we'll let you sign Farve on one condition,
you can't trade him to Minnesota.  That is one man personally dictating someone else's life.

No one on earth should have that power.

Churchill: Miss, will you have sex with me for one million pounds?
Miss: why, yes
Churchill: Miss, will you have sex with me for one pound?
Miss: of course not! what do you think I am?
Churchill: We've already established what you are. Now we're negotiating price.

That said, better a high-priced 'ho than a cheap one... There's genuine respectability around that.

Actually the GMS move made sense. Why would you let someone as good as Favre is/was (remains to be seen). Who knows your offense better then probably even your head coach and offensive coordinator go to your arch rival who's primary need is just a decent QB?

That would be like handing a gun to someone who wants to shoot you has  the correct caliber ammo, but has no gun

  I know what he was like as a kid in high school...put it this way, I'm surprised Brett isn't worse than he is...dad was a real case...and I've never been a real fan of either.

Have some respect for the guy...football has been his life since he could hold a ball...he was pushed to be the best from childhood up. Personally I think he should have stopped 3 years ago, instead of becoming a media farce like Michael Jackson.

Will agree with you on the shady dealing of the Packers GM.  I wasn't truly excited when he played for the Jets, but they had a good season.   I'm very interested in seeing the Vikings and Packers games this season though. But has to suck for Tavaris Jackson. Seeing Favre has had surgery and still has a tare in his arm. You never know!

OH Yeah ! GO PURPLE



Hehehe.

LMAO...  Oh man...  Anyone watching the Cowboys game?  Now THAT was a funny commercial!
