The same guy who sold the War is now selling the Packers' attempt to rid the league of a legend. Again, if it were no big deal, then Fleischer would not be there, so it is a big deal only because the fans would hand the Irish M&M Boys their asses for sitting the better QB while they watch their team lose.
Where is the commitment? Where is the confidence? Guaranteed: it is in Mississippi and the double-talking jivers want to get their spin into the media as fans who pay the tab have no more patience. Who breaks first? The fans, the owners, or Favre?
Green Bay is not sure Thompson didn't ruin their chances at returning No. 4 to the line-up which betters their chances at winning this year, regardless of their poor, sleepy heads over Favre trying to retire every year.
Let's all see the results of Mr. Fleischer’s' work tomorrow and what the team's new motto becomes. Right now, some Packers want Favre back and some are "the company's yes-men." We all know about "spin", and as some say, the spin stops here. How does management think that this all started?
Green Bay said that they were "moving on" and were "committed to Rodgers being their future," but they have not committed to him in writing by extending his contract.
If the Packers were moving on, then why haven’t they just moved on yet?
If Favre wanted to retire, then why did he ask the collectors not to place the word "retired" in association with his name?
Ted Thompson said, "Let Brett file his reinstatement letter and then we will add him to our active roster." He fulfilled what was requested of him by Thompson, filing for reinstatement, and now needs to be added, as promised, to their active roster, but instead of being honest with "part of the family", they tried to "grease" Favre.
Goodell said that he was "not going to take any action on Tuesday over the request." Instead, he wanted to allow for the owners, whom he represents, to better their own chances of doing what’s best for their business while his lack of action since Tuesday lessens Favre's chances for a triumphant return to Lambeau Field, to HIS team.
Gene Upshaw is nowhere in sight during all these negotiations between the league, a team, and its player. Goodell was elected by the owners to represent their league and thus, by default, be their mouthpiece. Apparently, Green Bay now needs a bigger one, though.
