See, what pisses me off is that this is shit all being said by guys who know the rules and have played in this league, along with analysts and guys following the story who have researched the Union rules and you guys play it off as my "Opinion". It is your opinion that GB has handled this like an abortion. For evey commentator that agrees with you, there is one that does not. We agree to disagree on how GB has handled this. The fact is, no matter how much i side with Favre, it isn't an opinion. It is a fact. Roger Goodell works for and is paid by the owners and he is putting off reinstatement FOR G.B.'s sake I agree but I also think if re-instated and he shows up in GB, neither side looks good. Also, either Favre and the Packers are getting close to agreeing on a deal or the Pack is getting close to making a trade...I believe that Gooddell must be seeing progress somewhere to keep delaying this. not Brett Favre. He knows about the 24 hour window once he signs off and he is trying to wait until G.B. has a plan before he does it and makes them look really bad GB has mad eit clear...he is a #2 if he shows up...that sound slike a plan to me!. That again is not an opinion. It is the exact reason why he is waiting. He knows what mess will follow if G.B. isn't prepared for it It is going to be a mess for both sides, not just GB. ... Which they are not. They have the 3 options they had 2 weeks ago. Let him come to camp as a backup, trade him to a team he agrees to, or release him. Once again 3J, those 3 options are fact and not opinion. Find me one post where I debated that these were not options. It is understood and very clear, crystal in fact, that those are the choices, in addition to accepting the package on the table. I was wrong in an earlier post where i did not think he has a no trade clause. And while he doesn't technically have a no trade, he can refuse to report to any team that trades for him, it amounts to a no trade. It has been stated on t.v. 100 times by people who know more than you and me combined. Why you choose to argue or skirt those options is beyond me because it is what it is. Find me one issue or question or 
that I have 'skirted'. And understand I am not arguing or debating this issue. I am not debating his options, I am debating the way this has been handled by GB and trying to understand why some people think it is an outrage. I don't know why G.B. doesn't just trade him to a division team that wants him anyway. At the most he plays 2 more years and you can bleed another team that you are competing with dry of draft picks. Bleed a team dry? Ain't going to happen...not for a 37 or 38 yr old QB that is currently a back-up. You are not getting Brett Favre from 10 yrs ago. They will get to middle round choices, much like the Skins gave up for Taylor, imo If they are that scared, than have him come to camp as a backup. Read the article posted where they have already told his agent that if he comes to camp, that is what he is...a backup. If he refuses, THAN they have the right to suspend him and Favre is the one with egg on his face. Who gives a fuck if he plays for Minny anyway. The Red Sox knew Damon was leaving for the Yankees and that didn't stop them. [COLOR="red"]Wayne, you are an intelligent sports fan and to equate Bret Favre, who is under contract, to Johnny Damon, who was a FA, is not even remotely similar.[COLOR="red'] God damn, you play twice a year, just go out and beat his ass! Last time I checked, they are in the same division and a old Brett Favre is, imo, light years better than Tavaris Jackson. They have to compete with them over the course of 16 games, not two.

He played both sides and didn't think the Pack woul dhold to their guns...he lost.
If he gets reinstated and the Pack tell him not to show up, then that is BS. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
