Whoa, slow down people! Living in Green Bay I saw something on local news last night that they're not including here. Channel 11, the local FOX station, threw up a quote last night basically stating that within the last couple of weeks the packers were contacted by Favre wanting a release and that the Packers refused. And then that Favre when contact afterwards denied it and asked, "what's the point?"
They were also getting ready to have another story about him that I didn't get to see but the catch-phrase did draw my interest.. Talking about whether or not the split between Favre and the Packers was as amiable as we were lead to believe. Something I've been interestingly wondering about myself- ever since he basically ended his career/retirement speech stating how he always wanted to be a Cowboy, not a Packer, and win Super Bowls, while growing up. That's a jab. You don't know the bloodlust for Cowboys they have. Nobody wanted to hear that!
My take; Packers didn't want him or Favre basically wanted out and the Packers wouldn't release or trade him, so he tries forcing their hand by retiring.
And personally, I think he wants to be a Cowboy. Even as a backup. To win that Super Bowl. To fulfill his childhood dream of becoming one of Us before it's all done. To go out on his terms, not the terms of a town he's been held hostage in for nearly 2 decades, and still remains. And, I mean, really, Brad Johnson? If there was any remote chance... Not one tutor better for Romo on this planet. AND capable insurance.
