If Ted Thompson is worried about all the bashing he is getting from Brett Favre in this Brett Favre instigated ordeal, he can take heart in that his bosses are strongly in his corner. According to JSOnline as most of you have already read, Peter Platten III, President of the Packers’ Executive Committee said in part “we wholeheartedly supported him. There was no disagreement.” We as in the committee and him as in Ted Thompson.
Platten also said “I look at this as a no-win situation. In the end we need to do what’s best for the Green Bay Packers. And that’s what we’re going to do.” What can possibly be wrong with that?
Now, after make noise the last two nights on national television with the Fox interview, Favre, through his agent said they have no plans to file for reinstatement at this time. Maybe Brett is coming to his senses and retires after all. Obviously, he can’t just walk into a another team’s training camp halfway through and expect to have a great year. The rule says he has until week six of the NFL season to change his mind in order to play this year. Can he help somebody at that point? What could the Packers get for him then?
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of Favre….
By the way, as anyone noticed that the Packers haven’t signed any of their draft picks with training camp opening ten days from now? What is up with that?
