Favre thinks he paved the way for Peyton to leave Indy gracefully

When Peyton Manning left Indianapolis in 2012, he did so with a public embrace from Colts owner Jim Irsay, who hosted a ceremony at the team facility to say goodbye to the team's longtime quarterback. It was a nice moment for both Manning and the Colts, and Brett Favre thinks he deserves some of the...

The only thing he did was pave the way for players to take blackmail money to throw playoff games.

What paved the road for Peyton's graceful exit was that Peyton (to the dislike of some in the media at times) has always tried to be 100% professional all of the time, especially in front of the media, way before the Favre/Packers split... heck Peyton may have been doing that before the Favre/Packers trade together.

I think it's possible that the Favre/Packers drama might of paved a little into the reason why the Colts decided to just outright cut Peyton instead of try to trade/keep him, but other factors including the Colts owner stupid pride and the fact that teams don't like he's the starter drama which happens anytime you have a new 1st round pick who's backing up and the fact they got the #1 overall pick and had Andrew Luck in their sights... as football "expects" have said, Luck was one of the most pro-ready QBs since either Elway or maybe ever. But the Colts owner, like Favre, wasn't too graceful in moving on and both took a number of pot shots at the other side. So really it's Manning acting professional and the Colt owners getting told to STFU after getting caught with his lots of drugs.

To trade Manning Colts would have had to pay a $28M signing bonus!!!! Given that the contract he signed w/ Denver had 18M guaranteed [10M less] one must presume the Colts would not have been able to trade Manning w/ 28M G. To get the other 40M "guaranteed" from Denver, Manning had to pass a 2013 team physical. So if Denver didn't like his progress they could have cut him w/o long term effect, at a cost of a 18M for 1 year. Any team trading for Manning was on the hook for $28M plus at least the league min salary and give up a late pick; if he's cut after one year.

Conversely, GB saved alot of dead money [at least 6M] by trading Favre as opposed to cutting him.

Favre, in demanding his release, expected GB to not sign 1-2 other future players [due to dead money wasted by cutting him]. This is a crazy myopic sociopathy. And thank you Ted Thompson for not giving into his childish and terroristic demands!

Favre's just a nut to think he paved the way for Manning...A TOTAL NUT! LOL

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
