Favre's Green Bay Packers & "President's Men" Try To Put Team Together Again

Any experienced salesman worth their own salt could tell Brett about revenues earned from marketing campaigns and the commissions that come along with them. 

Brett, ask Murphy where he got the number $20 million from, and what the company's projected net profit was as a basis for the offer. Projections do not just fly out of thin air. Footballs do though, and maybe they think Brett is too overwhelmed to do real business.

Mark Murphy and Mike McCarthy (Green Bay's version of the Irish M&M Boys) ought to know what the term "indentured servitude" means as it is a shunned term by most Irish because about 1.5 million of them "sold themselves into slavery" to the wealthy during a certain famine in order to find the promised land. 

Of course, this is modern-day America. Even those who are desperate cannot sign any enslaving contracts to those more wealthy because it is illegal now, right?  Nowaday we have the American Dream and part of it is the business of football; of which Murphy and McCarthy seem all to willing to "own another who is desperate" to continue his playing and extend streaks. 

It is all very ironic, considering their own cultural history that they've seemingly turned away from and masked the reality of what is happening.  Do the Irish M&M Boys think that they will not benefit from Favre's continued legacy? Or could it be something else motivating their back alley-type dealings and continuous lying to Pack Fans?   

In order to play football professionally, one has to practice his whole life, but when good enough they can get offered money in Green Bay not to practice and get paid not to play too, but that doesn't smell fishy at all, to some on ESPN.

On July 31, the Green Bay management said that they "did not have practice today," but claimed in the same report that it wasn't a coordinated effort and had, "Nothing to do with Brett Favre and whether or not he would not show up at camp on Thursday. It was a scheduled day off." 

Was Ted Thompson lying to the fans, to football, to the league, to history, and to the Hall of Fame for his own benefit?  He is lying to Brett, who he says "is a part of their family and always will be."  Lying and trust are not issues in any family that I know of, but they are issues when running most every business though.

Goodell must have known what they had in store because the reinstatement papers were filed Tuesday, he stalled it that afternoon and said he wouldn't act on them Wednesday either.  

So Thursday's news breaks about the bribe and now Favre wouldn't be eligible to practice until Friday afternoon at 4 PM. What a great gig, and a well-timed play Goodell and Thompson have going on against Favre.

WHY in the world would Brett Favre cause any pressure to a team who is positive about their decision over quarterbacks; and are committed and moving on anyhow?

The fact they have offered Favre money not to play, have told him not to show and have said that they would neither trade him nor release him, tells everybody that they are confident in Favre.

Does Green Bay's management actually expect the public to buy that they have moved on as they scramble more frantically than a QB out of the pocket in dark alleys for moves and media approval, especially given the recent spin doctor's presence in all this?

What, Ari just happened to be in town and wanted to stop in to say "hello team" and "good luck?" 

Favre is obviously a major concern, so do not be surprise when Favre is wearing gold and green as a starter again.

The proof is having a PR-Pro, guest-speaking politician, who is from New York City and an expert at the spin-game just casually dropping in a state half a country away.
