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

Then Green Bay falsely reported, according to Favre, that he had "made calls from a team-issued cell phone." How would they know that information?

It's illegal for the government to break the invasion of personal privacy law (FISA), much less a private business. Apparently they do not have, nor recognize, the Privacy Act of 1971 in Wisconsin.

Proving that he is already losing the PR battle, Favre denied any tampering charges along with all calls made from a team cell phone. His God-given talent alone is what allows Favre to have the upper hand in all this, not his PR guy.

He should have never allowed his PR man to respond to this smoke-screening attempt of asinine allegations in the first place.  Thompson is just hoping that Goodell will bite on the accusation and take the public's eye off the ball!

On July 30, echoing management's words, coach Mike McCarthy said to ESPN, "Er, uh, um, we've committed to Aaron Rodgers being our starter and are moving on (they have yet to extend his contract) and uh, er, you can never say never though."

I am not picking on McCarthy, he just is in the middle of the perfect-storm, but those are not the words of one who is committed.

ESPN went on to say "The team is unified under Rodgers," but today, Donald Driver said, "I understand that Favre has filed reinstatement paperwork so just like anybody else who wants to play, we should welcome him back.  He is a Legend, and the best Green Bay has ever had, and maybe the NFL."

Mr. Driver offered his statement after having talked to Brett just last weekend, something others in the spotlight have said they have not done at all.

Hmmm—er, um, uh, wow. Does it really sound like anyone is unified or committed to any one, set plan?

Sometimes people have an annoying quality about them—called a brain—and aren't so easily programmed. They always seem to observe and think things on their own. Drat, right Ted?

This all has turned into one massive PR parade, starring Green Bay, not Favre. It really does rival the media blitz surrounding Roger Clemens, and it too is being lost by the player, which does not exactly equate to what is true.
