I think he has learned his lesson and will truly hang them up... maybe now the healing can begin on all sides of the fences.

I think his big issue is his perception of the packers being dishonest with him. As in any business, if you feel your bosses are not being upfront with you there are bound to be hard feelings.

I don't see him being too involved with the Pack until Thompson is elsewhere. that seems to be his main issue.

Did he really take shots at the Packers or Ted himself?

The way I read it.. more so he has deep seeded anger at Thompson..

It was discussed at great length last preseason.. but basically, Thompson was the first GM in the Brett days that didn't cater to Brett.. there were no sit downs on Thursday nights to discuss the team like Wolf and Holmgren did.. no checking with Brett on moves like Sherman did.

Should Brett ever gotten that type of treatment, no, but those are the sins of our past in Green Bay. And somebody needed to correct that oversight.. Ted did just that and it started the friction. Add in some piss poor communication within the organization and you have conflict deeper than the grand canyon.

Hurting the fans and teammates of the franchise wasn't the target.. it was just caught up in the wash. IMO.

This quote from a previous interview:

"The only thing I worried about was winning,'' he said. "There was a time in my career where I paid more attention to individual stats, but in the last couple of years the most important thing was winning and personal accomplishments. In the end, that's what matters most. Was I pissed at Green Bay? Sure. But I wasn't pissed at their players. I did keep up with the wins and losses. Sure, it was hard not to do that. I didn't wish them bad, but I wished us better.''

I know that this is another "emotional" outburst from Favre but it strikes me odd that he states that, only in the last couple of years was winning more important than personal accomplishments. Funny, he used to always say that he could care less about any of his stats or personal accomplishments. Well, which is it.

Good luck to you Brett. I do appreciate the magnificent career you had with the Pack. I just can't help but feel that, in the last few years, you have tarnished your legacy. I suppose the Packers organization did as well.

Javon Walker, Ahman Green, Brett Favre.....in EVERY instance Ted Thompson was crucified for these decisions by a very vocal presence amongst Packer fandom....and in each case, hindsight has proven him correct each and every time.

Say what you will about his public persona, but the guy knows when to cut bait with aging players in decline.

I dont expect Brett to be back in Green Bay any time soon or anytime with Ted Thompson in the front office. The stuff he said about what Ted Thompson did was the truth you can't deny that. Ship him to the Jets because they were a bad team and the Packers won't play them. Best of Luck Brett lets go hunting lol.

Maybe we can retire his jersey in about 3 years.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Now wait a freaking minute.. Brett agreed to be traded to the Jets at that point.. because of his desire to play.

Brett is pissed at Ted Thompson.. to this day. That IMO, is the reason MM and Brett decided to part company last fall.. can you imagine the team turmoil with Brett and Ted at each other for the entire year.

That is a two way street.

This whole Jets comment is sour grapes.. Brett wanted his freedom so that he could hand pick a team of his choice to make Ted pay. That isn't smart business if your are running the Packers, Ted or not.

Sorry, Brett got cut out of the loop in Green Bay, didn't have the pull with management he once had and that didn't sit well with him.. it snowballed from there.

Johny U was traded to a team not in the same division

Joe M was traded to a team not in the same division

And what, dhazer...TT should ship him to someone within the division/conference where he may come back to bite the Packers??

There is some sound logic!!

Dude became a bitch, dude got shipped out...pretty simple when you consider even his most recent words indicate that he believed himself bigger than the Green Bay Packers.
