Brett was never given the chance to see, Ted didn't want to play him, and didn't want to let him play elsewhere. I'm sure if the same was done to you, you would be all buddy buddy with the person not letting you do what you wanted.

Let's rehash all of this all over again and argue which one was the "real" bad guy for the next 5 years.

They would have been able to work something out and it wouldn't have been as messy as it ended up being. Clearly that was not the case as was proven by that Brent character when he was sent to NYJ. He feigned retirement once again simply to get his release and headed straight for MN. He had no intention of playing anywhere else. THAT was the reason for the messy divorce. NYJ didn't need the drama and gave him his release. GB wasn't stupid and wouldn't roll over and let him stick it to them.

On a scale of 0-100 GB had no reason whatsoever to let him cross the St Croix. As I mentioned in my earlier post, if you paid attention, he had been treated very well by the franchise during his career (no one else was allowed to skip all the OTA type things but he was. no one else was allowed to more or less do whatever they wanted to do but he was.) and was handsomely compensated for his efforts. GB only went with Aaron AFTER Brett retired. On one came to him and told him they wanted him to sit on the bench as Aaron's backup for the last few years of his career until he said he was going to retire.

It wasn't until after that Brent character showed up that the Packers organization got tough out of their own self interests. I expected no less from them or any organization.

I can't believe this is still being brought up.
Fact: favre never would have been in the situation if he himself wouldn't have been pulling the "I'm retiring, now I'm not" for several seasons.
How can you properly prepare you team if you never know if the guy will change his mind again?
The Packers were forced to make up their own mind and not flip flop themselves.
Had they not did what they did, we may have had 3 more years of Favre, but then would have lost Aaron Rodgers.
Would the Packers been better off NOW?
Now, all of it is water over the dam, and it doesn't matter who you think was the "villain"in this.
Brett is coming back to be rightfully enshrined, and I will be cheering for him, as I did for 16 seasons!

He also told the Packers to disregard the fact that he didn't file the Paperwork and just move on without him. So when the "changed his mind" part of the plan came into effect the Packers would be over the roster limit and over the cap. They would have no choice but to cut him loose.

TT's only mistake, other than letting McCarthy chase him down in Mississippi and beg him to come back after he walked out on the team in '06, was not just leaving him on the roster and saying go home. You aren't playing. I would rather have eaten the roster spot than let Favre force the team to trade him.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
