still think he might be an asset to the jets, ya never know whats going to happen with penn. each season hes like a pedro martinez of the mets. blink of an eye ane hurt again
i normally dont pity anyone who gets paid for playing a sport, but i have a soft spot for aaron rogers, if i was this guy i would demand a trade and look brett farve in the eye and sock him all the way back to mississippi
why you make millions playing behind one of the greatest QBs to ever grace a football field, and he's a mainstay in Green Bay. He's fucked. All he can do is deal with it. Think of Richard Todd.
yea but the flip flop game farve is playing is just not fair to this kid, i know farve paid his dues, but enfair is unfair, this kid prob feels like he will never get a chance, and when he finally does he will have to play lights out or the green bay fans will call for farve to come back-even if he's 60
ha i didnt even think of that, and if that is the case after watching brohm play in college (i dont feel like he translates into a good nfl qb) green bay is in deep cheese
This could be the most devastating injury of the Madden Curse Era to date: A nervous breakdown is in the making in Green Bay. But Favre's, or Rodgers'? That's the puzzler.
its not over yet, headline on espn.com says "please release me" i hope they assign his ass to the practice squad, here is the article Favre says of situation: 'This probably isn't going to work' By Chris Mortensen ESPN.com (Archive) Updated: August 5, 2008, 12:49 PM ET Comment Email Print Favre Unlikely To Practice TodayGreen Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre went into a meeting Tuesday morning acknowledging that he was at a "stalemate" with the team and believed the "best thing for this team is for us to part ways." Consequently, Favre is unlikely to take the field for practice Tuesday afternoon, pending his second meeting with coach Mike McCarthy. "We're at a stalemate," Favre said. "Mike and I both agreed last night that me being out there is a distraction and will continue to be a distraction. We all know the reason I'm here is because the commissioner [Roger Goodell] reinstated me so we have a lot of things to figure out. It's simple and complicated, both at the same time." Favre said the team once again rejected his request to talk to teams about a trade within the NFC North, preferably to the Minnesota Vikings or possibly the Chicago Bears. Favre clarified reports that he and the Packers have backpedaled on the premise that there would be an open competition with Aaron Rodgers for the starting job. "Mike told me, hey, we're a better team with you on it but wanted to know if I have a problem with an open competition," Favre said. "I don't have a problem with competing -- you know that, but Aaron should be the starter right now because he's been out here all this time. This is more than about an open competition and I can do that, absolutely, but this is going to be mass confusion and that's not good for this team. "I'll practice my butt off, if it comes to that, and I think we all know what the end result will be, but this probably isn't going to work. And I truly understand that if I was in Mike's shoes, I'd see it basically the same way he sees it, I'm sure. And I think if he was in my shoes, he'd see it my way. I think we both agree on that. "They want to know if I'm committed but I want to know if they're 100 percent committed. The problem is that there's been a lot of damage done and I can't forget it. Stuff has been said, stories planted, that just aren't true. Can I get over all that? I doubt it." Asked what stories have been "planted," Favre alluded to the reports that said he waffled on un-retiring in late March or early April. He said that's "just not the way it went down, at all." He also expressed anger with the stories that alleged he had a team-issued cell phone that showed the Vikings were tampering with him. "Again, that was bull on both parts," he said. "Then," Favre said, "they tried to buy me off to stay retired." He added, "So they can say they welcome me back but, come on, the way they've treated me tells you the truth. They don't want me back, so let's move on. I don't know where it's headed. We'll see."
Favre lost all leverage when he was reinstated. He is property of the Packers and can be traded to whatever team the Packers choose. At that point he can either retire or start these shenanigans all over again with the new team. It is interesting to see that he doesn't even want to compete for the QB job in GB.
I wish Tannenbaum or Mangini would come out and say that any trade talks between the Packers and Jets have officially ended. The Jets are pulling themselves out of discussion. Seriously, I do not want to be part of this circus.
yeah right, they will do that right after they update the press with an accurate injury report :rofl:
