MILWAUKEE -- Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy has restated his support for general manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy in their dealings with Brett Favre.
Murphy spoke Friday after a meeting of the team's executive committee. He was not available for comment, but a team spokesman said the club president has "full confidence" in how Thompson and McCarthy are handling this matter.
Murphy's 83-year-old father died on Thursday morning in Florida, and a memorial service was scheduled for Monday in Clearwater, Fla.

the hostility is comical.

Why?

 

[coastalbuck]

Why?

Why should there be any? From either side?

Why should there be any? From either side?

Thats sort of my point. The whole situation is really just kind of pathetic. If he wants to play, release him. I don't understand why GB would even care whether or not he goes to a divisional rival, what are the odds that he really will lead any team anywhere in the very few remaining years he has left physically. The answer: Not very good. At the same time though, as much as I was rooting for Favre last year, I really do wish that he would just go away. Both sides of this are equally gay.

why do you wish he would go away? what's it to you?

why do you wish he would go away? what's it to you?

Well, I suppose what it is to me is that I could care less what he or Green Bay end up doing, I am just really tired of hearing about it ad-nauseum. Yeah, I suppose that I could quit reading the newspaper or watching tv, but then I would miss out on the things that arent boring and stupid. Really, it is just a continuation of the same tired Brett Favre story that we have to endure every offseason. I seriously doubt that I'm the only person who feels this way.

And that's Brett Favre's fault, how? It's a man's job.....who gives a fuck how many times he retires?

And that's Brett Favre's fault, how?

How is it not his fault? This whole situation starts and ends with his inability to make a decision. If you don't want to retire, then don't. Are the media and the NFL to blame as well? Sure. I'd kinda like to watch the NFL this year without feeling like I'm watching a never ending retirement party for Brett Favre that's been going on for three years. That can happen with or without him in the League. I don't care. Just make a decision and stick with it, and then get off my damn TV when I'm just trying to catch some baseball highlights.

It's a man's job.....who gives a fuck how many times he retires?

Apparently the Packers do. It appears they're tired of his shit and also don't want to get screwed over in the process of moving on with their lives.

Its as much his fault as anyone else. He is the one who can put an end to the story by staying retired. As far as giving a fuck about how many times he retires, I wouldn't if it wasn't every other story on every sports show or in every sports column.

I don't understand what's so hard to understand. Have you seen Grossman or Jackson play? But putting aside that for a second, let's look at last year's game against Minny & Chicago...

9/30 5 min to go, 1 score game.
10/7 7 pt loss.
11/11 34-0 win.
12/6 7-35 blowout loss.

At least one of those QBs will see his starting days end by next offseason. Even if said rivals "go nowhere", they obviously are way too competitive already, without a HoF QB (aged or not).

Minnesota has a lethal running game, an excellent defense, and one of the best OL in the game. You really want to bet on mediocrity for them, especially with regards to Green Bay's immediate interests (winning), after adding Favre?

Report: Packers inquiring about trade market for Favre

ESPN.com news services

What would NFL teams trade the Green Bay Packers for Brett Favre?
The Packers have asked multiple teams what they would be willing to offer for their team icon and former NFL MVP, the NFL Network reported -- a state of affairs once unthinkable in Green Bay.
While it is not known how many teams the Packers have contacted about Favre, they have not limited their inquiries to AFC teams, according to the report.
Favre retired in early March, but recently has been having second thoughts about playing in 2008. He has asked to be released from his contract, a request the team has no plans to grant. The team has said it is committed to Aaron Rodgers, Favre's former understudy, as its quarterback of the future.

Please. The guy loves playing more than his body allows it......he should be vilified because of it? I don't think so.

No. He should be vilified because he sounded so stupid, "Boo-hoo...I was pushed out too soon by the bad men. I only had my millionaire agent, my high dollar financial and marketing advisors and a decade or so to think about it. Waaaah!"
