What Is Favre Saying Now?

Greta Van Susteren of Fox News scored the big Brett Favre interview which will air at 9pm tonight. That alone is shocking. I would have bet big that ESPN's Chris Mortenson would have gotten it.

Not much has been released yet, but it all seems odd. Favre doesn't want to be traded, but wouldn't mind being released (What's the difference? Any team that would trade for him will have to renegotiate his $12 million salary because few teams, if any, have that much available cap room after they sign all their draft picks). He won't be a backup in Green Bay, but understands if the Packers have moved on. When he made his retirement announcement back in March, he says he knew he might want to come back, but didn't say a damn thing about it back then. Is he saying he's not yet 100% committed to returning, and he just wants the Packers to work with him? Oh, and he might want to come back as a coach.

Surreal.

My first post here

as you can see by my screen name it’s baseball season and I cheer on that team in chicago. BUT, I have been a packer fan since black and white TV and the Packers won Super Bowl 1 and 2 and even before that. I come to watch a game in person every season in Green Bay. I have just one comment now that I have that over:
What the hell are they thinking? Bring Brett back with open arms and say get the hell up here and get started. Not one thing against Rogers but he has not won anything for us. This packer fan wants Brett back in the worst way. I remember the 70’s and I don’t want to go through that again. Get some sense and get him whatever he wants and end this mess. Every sports radio in the USA has turned to 24 hour Brett banter and it’s not good! Get this thing over NOW! I want Brett!

This is only the beginning....Lou Pinella end of '07 season and Chicago Transit Authority (the band when they were really good).

For me, no more Favre

If this team wants a future, we need a quarterback who isn’t rapidly approaching 40. I love Favre, he’s been the only QB I’ve ever watched and as close as I’ve ever had to a hero ever since I was a little kid. He’s rapidly killing my admiration for him though. Stay retired, enjoy your time with your family and all that, and watch football from the couch.

Also… Favre as a coach? He’s one of the very best quarterbacks who ever lived, but I don’t want him coaching anyone, ever.
