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

"We want to apologize to the fans of football for all of the off-season commotion and thank you for your patience. Green Bay hopes to have Brett Favre stay and play as a Packer to help us make the playoffs this year. We also want Brett to help the team pave the way and secure its future under Aaron Rodgers too, but not until it is apparent that Brett can no longer play.  He is a Legend and we owe him a debt of gratitude.

We have committed to Aaron and offered him an extended incentive-based contract that will benefit his play, because we have faith that he is good enough to win too. Earmarks are set to reward his play regardless of the number of snaps he might take and we await his commitment to our franchise as we have committed to him.  We look forward to Aaron remaining a Packer after this year's contract is up.  He could become a free agent, but we have faith that he means what he says and that he wants to be Green and Gold. 

The time for Brett to step down will never be an easy time for us, but will become clearer in the future. Nature will take its course and Brett himself will know when that happens, as will all of our fans who have been very supportive of us in this turbulent time. After last year's stellar performance, what is clear is that Brett is still able to win. We trust Brett to be honest with us about when he doesn't feel well enough, because we really are a family and he is a legend of the game and a hero to us all."

Just try it, because honesty is a good thing, and Green Bay could have the best of both worlds. Why in the world is it so much an issue to have too much talent?  Start Favre and let Aaron step up and take No. 4's job away from him.

If management has faith in Aaron, then they will let him try. The 49ers gave the ball to Steve Young when Joe Montana was injured and Young ended up winning the MVP that year and secured the future of the franchise.

"Any PR is not good PR" for teams or for players. Controversy increases circulation, while it costs the ones reported-on their jobs if it is a negative reflection, like the PR that surrounded Michael Vick or Adam (Pacman?) Jones.

So suit 'em up and play some football already. No more stories, no more controversy, no more lies, and no more "business" in the media to help yourselves. 

Football fans, whose massive wallet pays your owners and thus the players, are not interested in soap operas or gossip columns—they're interested in stats and records though, because that is something more concrete in which a fan can count on and trust.

After all, numbers do not lie, but people do and all should take that into consideration. A fan's trust and resulting loyalty should never be forsaken either, whether by team or by player.

Now, hug it out already and let's play some football. I don't know about you, but I'm psyched.
