Favre & Packers At A Stalemate

Who is dumber the Packers or Favre? I take the Packers. Last night Favre and Packer management met in what turned out to be a five hour meeting between the two parties, and as a result the Packers continue to tell Favre to just go away.

In a statement released by Favre, the quaterback acknowledge that his presence at camp would be a distraction to the team: "I don't have a problem with competing -- you know that, but Aaron should be the starter right now because he's been out here all this time. This is more than about an open competition and I can do that, absolutely, but this is going to be mass confusion and that's not good for this team.

"I'll practice my butt off, if it comes to that, and I think we all know what the end result will be, but this probably isn't going to work. And I truly understand that if I was in Mike's shoes, I'd see it basically the same way he sees it, I'm sure. And I think if he was in my shoes, he'd see it my way. I think we both agree on that.

"They want to know if I'm committed but I want to know if they're 100 percent committed. The problem is that there's been a lot of damage done and I can't forget it. Stuff has been said, stories planted, that just aren't true. Can I get over all that? I doubt it."

(Mortensen).

Favre wants to play for the Packers or else, and he has pushed the Packers to a point that they are giving into his demands. He wants to play, but the Packers just don't want him around anymore, which is totally idiotic. The Packers should welcome Favre back and let him just practice with the team, and compete for the job. If he wins the job, which he will, they should award him the starting job and release Rodgers. The Packers are better with Favre than without him.

If the Packers let him go, Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson can kiss their jobs good-bye.
