Favre reinstated

[DallasEast]

Favre is no longer eligable for the HOF in 2013 now. Larry Allen's chances just got better. Woot!

How about Favre backing up Romo????

 

[utrunner07]

this is going to be very fun to watch if they stick him on the bench. Rogers might as well ask for his trade because the boo birds will be out at his first pick.

I am hoping the pack sits him on the bench...it would be great TV watching the mass chaos that would insue at Lambeau

 

[utrunner07]

I've said that about the guy for 12 years but no one cared because he's very good.

Still the case.

I'll just be glad when this is over so ESPN has something else to talk about.

not me. I hope this keeps up. Anything that keeps them off the cowboys, particularly jessica simpson and owens and pacman is ok by me.

I hope it drags out all year.

I have been enjoying reading actual football stuff.

I agree 100%, but we're the Cowboys, so I think that's pretty much a pipe dream.

Hey its worked so far, so I hope things stay the same.

I am sure something stones will get turned over this week after hard knocks but still. Espn has been sucked into this ridiculous standoff in green bay and I love it.

I hope he ends up in minnesota. They would never have to force issues with our team, they have all the crap they want between the vikes and the packers.

please make it go away.

Brett Favre as a Viking. Now, THAT'S karma! For Green Bay fans, bad karma, that is.

The Commish better butt out now. If the Packers want Favre to peddle peanuts in the stands, so be it. He's their problem and no one else's.

 

[utrunner07]

Rumor on ESPN now says the Pack will let Favre compete for the starting job!

Statement By Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy

posted 08/03/2008

Sixteen years after Brett Favre came to the Packers, he is returning for a seventeenth season. He has had a great career with our organization and although we built this year around the assumption that Brett meant what he said about retiring, Brett is coming back. We will welcome him back and turn this situation to our advantage.

Frankly, Brett's change of mind put us in a very difficult spot. We now will revise many actions and assumptions about our long-term future, all predicated on Brett's decision last March to retire. As a result of his decision, we invested considerably in a new and different future without Brett and we were obviously moving in that direction. That's why this wasn't easy. Having crossed the Rubicon once when Brett decided to retire, it's very difficult to reorient our plans and cross it again in the opposite direction - but we'll put this to our advantage.

Brett will be in camp tomorrow. Although there has been uncertainty regarding Brett's return, Ted Thompson and Coach McCarthy had previously discussed this and have had a plan in place. Coach McCarthy will talk to the team and the quarterbacks about the plan moving forward, and after he has done that we will share it publicly.

No matter what, I look forward to another successful season for the Packers and our fans. This has been a tough situation, but the Packers will make the most of it.

I love it. For the life of me I can't figure out why the Packers don't want him back. That's ridiculous. Rodgers is nowhere near him as a QB.

Sounds like Favre may be counting on that. If the Pack start off rough out of the gate and fall a game or two back in their division, you just know that Brett is coming off the bench.

 

[Rampage]

Why are the packers being so stupid? they went to the nfc championship gave with Farve and they don't want him back?

 

[ologan]

Favre,Schmavre....If Goddell is in a "Reinstatement" mood,how about Pac???

 

[5Countem5]

Favre really looked fat getting off the plane...:laugh2:

 

[SkinsandTerps]

Favre really looked fat getting off the plane...:laugh2:

He really didn't.

 

[jobberone]

Supposedly there will be competition at QB. Maybe this will make Favre think twice before heaving it up for grabs. I think this works in GBs favor by the end of camp. Rodgers will continue to learn from Favre but in what to do and what not to do. And Favre will be forced to play it closer to the vest. I'd rather he be traded to the AFC.
