Has Brett Favre Lost it?

Green Bay fans are passionate, no doubt. But they had almost nothing to do with this mess. It's Green Bay's management which has blown it. There was a lot more at stake than the tender expectations of Aaron Rogers. There could have been a one year compromise with Brett starting and Aaron getting considerable field time to season him for next year. There could even have been a deal with Aaron to sit out another year with the hope of playing only if the Packers' fortunes went south. This melt-down didn't have to happen. It was stubbornness. It's turning out bad for everybody. It might not even be especially good for the Bucs. Brett's 38 and he hasn't moved around the league much. And then there's that 4th game of the season in Tampa Bay when no one nation-wide will be watching anything else.

I see you're toning the blogs down to a paragraph of two Does this mean they are being phased out slowly ?

Brett Farve cannot stand the fact that his last pass in the NFL was an interception that possibly cost his team a trip to the Superbowl. The Packers were offering him $20M a year to sit home and stay retired. I believe it now when they say he was one of the best QB's from the neck down. He sure doesn't have anything upstairs. Brett, just go back home to MS.

I swear, some you Brett lap dogs need to get over it. The delutional fans of Green Bay do not deserve a football team. They care more about ONE GUY and his monster sized ego then the entire team.

I'm not sure what will happen up in Green Bay. If Favre wants to un-retire, i wish he would do it here in Charlotte. Thanks Alexis!

Brett Favre will go out like John Unitas, a bumb. Johnny U did not know when to retire, went to San Diego Chargers and tarnished all his records in his fans minds. Just like Brett will. STUPID IDIOT

this segment is a stretch

You know that Thompson "hand picked" Rodgers 3 years ago to take over. When someone like that is "hand picked", it means this guy has the itchy finger to use him. Favre probably felt a hand on his back shoving him toward the exit up to 2 years ago. It is Packers management who have mishandled this and Favre is, more or less, just lost. It is sad, really. The guy still has it. He wants to play and he wants to play for a team that is a contender. The Packers can't just let him go because they damn well know what that means: Favre coming back and kicking their butts. What a way to show your confidence in Aaron Rodgers. You want to ditch the old guy, but you can't go through with it because you're scared he'll return to punish you. Either way, my guess is Murphy, Thompson, and McCarthy will all be in the unemployment line in 1-2 years. Aaron Rodgers may be warming a bench at a bottom tier team or playing in the summer leagues....

Has Favre lost his mind? The Packers have lost their mind... A. They were one game away from the superbowl and they have a better chance of winning the superbowl with Favre, rather than Rodgers...Enough Said. B. Favre has as much right as any other citizen to work. IF you don't want him, release him. C. If Favre isn't good enough to start for the Packers, why are they so afraid of him playing for someone else? Don't forget, just because he said he wanted to retire does not mean he is no longer allowed to work at his chosen profession.

Brett Faverr I know. Who the heck is Eddie George?

First of all Alexis I have no clue who you are, and second of all, I honestly dont care enough to find out since your first impression was unimpressive. In any case, please do a little back ground checking before you make an idiotic "off the cuff" Favre comments as you did above. There is much more to the story than meets the eye so do us a favor and keep your pretty pie hole shut. Lastly, Thompson's and McCarthy's heads will role if they dont have an outstanding season without Favre. This is a business in which winning is everything and they just thumbed their noses at one of the best QB's in the NFL because of their own ego's, not Favre's.

Please Eddie George, just cause you were a "one hit wonder" does mean Brett Favre is, get over it, you're through, Brett Favre still has a hell of alot of game in him! GO GREEN BAY!!! GO BRETT FAVRE!!!

My prediction is Favre to Tampa for a conditional pick (3rd or 2nd) and Chris Simms. Pack sends Simms to the Bears for a Third round pick. Garcia demands a trade and ends up in K.C.
