The Packers are caught between a rock and a hard place. Packer fans say that this is Brett Favre and he is your best chance to win.
But look at it this way. When someone quits their job, the company gets someone to take over. And then three months later if that person wants to come back, you can’t just oust the person who’s taken over.
Favre is doing some great acting and PR by claiming that he has not wanted to return. Come on! He’s just trying to manipulate the media in his favor to get a starting position somewhere else and make the Packers look bad.
I never knew Favre had this much of an ego. Seems to me he wants to step away, but doesn’t want to leave.
I think he’s insecure about the possibility of the Packers winning without him. Look what happened to Tiki Barber, whose legacy in New York will be never be the same.
Favre usually makes his decision in about late April. This time, he made his decision in early March.
Previously, Favre said that he would be coming back.
Then, about a month and a half later, he changed his mind. A company cannot be run on whims. A man cannot just change his mind months later and expect everything to be the same again.
Basically, the only way the Packers can overcome this is to at least get to the Super Bowl. Anything less will be considered a failure.
Favre should not be allowed back in Green Bay. When you quit something, you’re done. You’ve quit.
What would be funny is if a team signs/trades for Favre, then he says, “Just kidding.”
I think the place for him would be the Jets. They have a much-improved offensive line and no solid quarterback leadership. Pennington has proven to be inconsistent, and Clemens still needs some time.

brett wasnt ready to make the decision to retire in March, but Green Bay was asking for an answer right then and there, so he gave them the most honest answer he could at the time.

The author of this article is mentally challenged. Who cares what little wiener aaron leibman thinks. Favre changed his mind and so deal with it. Another thing, football is not the same as some job or standard career. Brett wants to "play" and everyone else has to "work". So people need to stop comparing the two. Watch the interviews with favre, why would he lie and cause problems when he could simply return to greenbay in training camp and take his spot back? Simple hes not telling any lies and hes just saying what is happening. Look at logic ya tool.
