Favre seeks release from Packers (updated)

SmootSmack · 07-08-2008, 09:57 AM

This is all I found, from Peter King's column.

"Say they accept Favre back, then try to trade him. They're going to get, what, a third-round pick from Tampa Bay or the New York Jets or Washington for him? They'll forever be known as the men who sent the greatest Packer packing. And there's no guarantee Favre would agree to go to just any team if he chooses to come back. Don't put it past him and agent Bus Cook to refuse to report to a team Favre doesn't want to play for."

Please, make it stop.

Just another example of the Skins being lumped in whatever the rumor of the day is.

There's no way he's coming here. To think that there's even a possibility of it is simply retarded.

I can't paste in links.

It is in the NFL section, next to our team hemlet.

Wow.

"Favre to Chad Johnson for a TD! Skins lead Dallas 42-0 just before halftime."

Sure. Whackos.

If Coach Gibbs decided he still had the fire, he'd have been a lot quiter than Bus Cook and Favre have been. The only reason this is a big deal is that it was leaked.

If the 'Skins were anywhere near a Superbowl bound team, then it might make sense. But they're missing some key players at other positions before Favre in Washington would be logical.

I don't know how to take this, on the one hand they think the Skins would actually sign him, which sounds crazy to me.

On the other hand, they think we're a vet qb away from the super bowl, that sounds crazy to me too, but at least in a good way.

I actually question whether he could beat out JC for the starting job here. For that matter, I think even if he were coming back to GB, if they made the job an open competition, he would lose it to Rodgers.

I hope he comes back and someone just lays him out while he lays on the field crying like he is annoucing his retirement again. In stead of him crying and saying it was not about the money or fame he'd be saying this aint worth the fame or the money as he gasp for air. He is then carted off the field never to heard from again. Heck I like to see a Skin lay him out.

Michael Smith on NFL Live just echoed the Favre to Washington sentiment...

onlydarksets · 07-11-2008, 04:34 PM

No chance he comes here. I think Snyder/Cerrato/Zorn are too smart for that.
