Re: I have never been more upset with the Packers
This is just bad publicity on everyone's behalf...there is reason to believe Favre was pressured into retirement by the Packer's organization. Hell, I wasn't expecting him to retired last year. He looked good during the regular season, and to retire on a losing note seemed kind of odd. But, he continues to choke in the playoffs...I don't blame them for wanting to get some new blood. Favre still has an arm and the wisdom of a veteran QB, but he's not the gunslinger he was 5 or 6 years ago.
That said, instead of being a bitch about coming back and making threats like "I'm gonna show up to training camp," he should have approached the Packer's organization and said, "Hey...I want to play. I'm fine if you don't want to start me as a Packer, I believe you should trade me. I've done SOOO much for this organization, and you can probably negotiate a good deal if you trade me." But nope, instead he had to blow this whole thing up and it turned into a media circus.
Personally, I think Green Bay will offer him the position as backup QB. I can't see them letting him go until his contract expires.
