Perhaps one finger up their ass and the other 4 to call the Jets?
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It is now clear that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will do everything in his power to prevent retired quarterback Brett Favre from forcing his way back onto the Green Bay Packers' roster.Originally posted by wayne1218
Nothing good would come for Goodell's league if a Hall of Fame quarterback and his former team carry their increasingly bitter fight onto the practice field -- and on the weekend of the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement, no less.
Only Goodell stood in the way of Favre boarding a private jet Thursday afternoon and heading to Green Bay for an in-person showdown with the Packers. While the aircraft waited at a regional airport near Favre's home in Hattiesburg, Miss., Goodell decided against acting on Favre's reinstatement request for the second consecutive day.
"He's ready to go back," agent James "Bus" Cook told the Associated Press. "But he can't go back until the commissioner reinstates him."
Goodell is hoping -- perhaps blindly -- that Favre and the Packers can work out a compromise that prevents an ugly public spectacle. Unfortunately for both sides, there isn't much middle ground between what Favre wants (a release) and what the Packers are hoping for (a renewed commitment to retire). A trade continues to be the only viable option. But thus far, Favre hasn't been willing to consider the options Green Bay has presented, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
That hasn't stopped the Packers from trying, however. The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported Thursday evening that talks were continuing with the New York Jets. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, meanwhile, suggested the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' interest currently trumps that of the Jets. The Journal Sentinel also has reported the Packers would consider trading Favre to the Minnesota Vikings or Chicago Bears.
Barring a quick deal, Goodell eventually will have to act on the request or face a potential confrontation with the NFL Players Association. But for now, like the fan who keeps watching with his team down 48-0, Goodell is hoping for a miracle comeback.Three Jack's Record http://www.bettorschat.com/forums/sh...10#post1323910Comment

You are FUCKING naive! You have no clue what the business world is about.Originally posted by wayne1218
You're right! They should let him go elsewhere. It's THEIR choice where. It's been that way in all sport for decades. Aside from no-trade clauses guys have been traded with little or no input as to where.Comment

You failed to mention painfully stubborn. He allows his stubbornness to interfere with rational judgment. Once he mind is made up he shuts the door to any other opinions.Originally posted by GOLDENGREEK
Must be a New England/Boston thing. There's another BC member from the area with a very similar personality trait. lolComment

So what! If GB trades him to 4 teams and her refuses to report Favre loses what little credibility he has remaining.Without having an official no-trade clause in his contract, Favre has an unofficial no-trade clause in the leverage he has.
If the Packers agree to trade Favre to any team, the quarterback can veto the deal simply by declining to report. Then Favre's rights would revert back to Green Bay, which would be forced to take him back along with his $12 million base salary -- or release him.Comment

Just like every other sport frank, if he has veto rights on any trade, they cannot then say you can't show up at the place you are signed with. Yes, they have asked him and not said can't. How long can that last???
If Griffey or Manny refused a trade, do you think their teams would look at them and say ... "We really don't want you in the clubhouse?"
FUCK NO. The Union would eat them up!
If you read the thread, you'll see i've said this already.
