How is that a dig? I didn't mean it that way. I meant I don't have any insider info but that I heard differently. If it sounded flippant or whatever that wasn't at all my intention.

Damn man put that shovel away and stop digging!

Anyhow my point was that just a few days ago the Packers were in a position to end the conversation (and get a Moss) before even giving the Pats a chance to enter, re-enter actually, the conversation.

basically, they were dragging their feet. i think alot of people forget how close the pack was to the playoffs last year

If I was Favre I'd be pissed too. I think Moss was well worth the risk and the move could really pay off BIG for the Patriots.

PACKERS NOT EXCUSING FAVRE FROM MINICAMP?

Packers quarterback Brett Favre plans to skip this weekend's mandatory minicamp. He won't be able to practice due to offseason ankle surgery, and his daughter is graduating from high school at the end of next week.

The only problem is that the team has not yet excused him.

Per the Associated Press, team spokesman Jeff Blumb said that, as far as coach Mike McCarthy is concerned, "the camp is mandatory."

The question, then, is what will the Packers do if Favre doesn't show? He could be fined, and the team could pursue 25 percent of any signing bonus allocation applicable to the 2007 season.

At a time when Favre has been popping off about his discontent with the direction of the franchise, the team would be taking a huge risk if it forces him to show up -- or if it punishes him for not coming. And that makes us wonder whether all really is well between the team and its Hall-of-Fame quarterback.

She's graduating from High School not college. I would still be there.

That's not the point, looks like things might be breaking down a bit. Why would they not excuse him for injury and personal reasons doesn't make a whole lotta sense.

I tell you what, it feels much better to be speculating about another's team's minicamp versus our own.

I just heard on ESPN FAVRE had a change of heart and will be at the mandatory camp, from Chris M., I'll try to find a link.

I guess so much for the family first? He's just full of suprises

FAVRE CAVES ON MINICAMP

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Packers quarterback Brett Favre will report for this weekend's mandatory minicamp. Favre previously had said that he will skip the minicamp due to his daughter's upcoming high school graduation, and because offseason ankle surgery will prevent him from participating in any of the on-field sessions.

But a team spokesman said earlier this week that coach Mike McCarthy regards the camp as mandatory since, you know, it is. Mandatory, that is.

Per Mort, Brett has had a change of heart, and will make the trek from Missisippi to Wisconsin.

We score the round 10-9, Packers.
