good luck packers...... rodgers should demand a trade.

This commissioner is a bigger idiot than Stern.

he's just forcing everyone's hand. probably makes the packers take a #2 pick to dump him instead of the #1 they want.

have to think the offer they had from the jets looks okay now.

i thought i read farve nixed the trade to NYJ and the Bucs too. you would think TB would be an option because it's close to home?

i could be wrong but i thought the packers were holding out for a #1.

[Mortimer]

I really don't understand.


Favre had a contract with Green Bay. He retired...again...while under contract to Green Bay.Only this time it was supposed to be real.GB decides to move on with their former number 1 choice as qb. Favre changes his mind and wants to unretire.GB says fine..but you're a back up. So dumb azz wants to be traded ;whether or not that was his plan doesn't matter.

GB held the upperhand and they ,as the employer,should have been allowed to carry through their own decisions.

This Favre is a cumquat matched only by this disaster of a commissioner.

they wanted a #1 pick from the bears or vikes because they were in the division. they would have taken less from the jets and bucs.
the list of teams that farve gave to the commissioner was just the bears and vikes because he "wants to beat the packers twice if they don't want him"... reported by espn radio. now it sounds like the pack will take less from the bears or Vickers to unload favre. the vikings seem to be in the lead because of the OC, farve would have less to learn.

I am not sure how much choice he had in the matter legally.
I would like to know if he really had to. The NFL states they
wanted to force the hand of one or both of the parties, but
Godell may have had to.

Anyone know if Brett could have forced reinstatement from a legal
point of view? Seems like he could.
