GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Brett Favre hopes Aaron Rodgers can win another Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers, but he's not optimistic that there will be another run given what he knows about the rift between Rodgers and the team.

In an appearance on ESPN Wisconsin radio's Wilde & Tausch, Favre on Wednesday detailed his text conversion with Rodgers and made comparisons to his own departure from the Packers in 2008.

But what was most striking was his prediction for how it will play out.

"Boy it's a good question; that's the million-dollar question," Favre said during a 45-minute interview on the show. "I think I know Aaron fairly well, and honestly I just don't see him coming back and just saying, 'All right, let's just bury the hatchet, whatever caused the rift, and I'm just going to come back and play because I love the guys, I love the Green Bay fans -- I assume he does -- but his rift isn't with the fans or the players. It's with the front office. Will he just swallow his pride and come in? Maybe. But I don't see that happening.

"If there's not a trade, my gut tells me that he'd rather sit out than play. That's just my gut. There's no reason for me to say that other than that's what my gut's telling me, and I think you guys know Aaron fairly well enough to sort of feel the same way."

So....Favre was pressured into making up his mind. So what? Were the Packers supposed to just wait until the season actually started for Favre to decide what he was going to do? Favre was playing that game for several seasons. "I will play, I won't play". So I dont blame the Packers one bit for wanting a decision from him.
As far as Rodgers being butt hurt, WHY? They had the best offense in football last year, and had the NFC title game at home. And yes, the D gave up points. But gave Rodgers chances in the 4th quarter. And it wasn't an insurmountable lead by Tampa.
So he had a chance to show he could win a big game, and failed miserably.
Even though it most likely means the end of the Packers having a shot at a SB, if Rodgers wants out, say "bubeye" to him.
Like was said, it seems he has no desire to "forgive and forget" any time he gets his feelings hurt. With ANYONE. My opinion is that he needs to grow up. His sole job was to QB the Green Bay Packers. Not be the GM or coach.
Again, its my opinion only.
I have no more info on what is really going on. I wish I did, as it would make this a lot easier to decide who the villian is.

BUT, he made his career with the Packers, he doesnt need to prove anything else, or have to continue with the Packers. If he truely wants to leave, then let him leave, void his contract, and set him free. If he should be injured in a game, and can not return, then he is no use to the team, and the back up QB will be in the starting position. His record will stand as it is with the Packers, and that is all it will ever be. Let him go and be over with it. The team will continue as best as it can with out him.

I’m just plain frustrated.
I, or anyone else here, don’t know the REAL facts of this case. And that’s the most frustrating part of this. Neither side will come out and state their case.
So it’s maddening.

So the fact he doesn't think it's gonna happen is making me think it will happen!
