Favre saga ends in New Jersey: QB traded to Jets

I heard they offered a contract to Obama.

There are a lot of people on this board calling the Packers stupid for making this decision.

However, I agree with him, and I am glad the Bears never had the chance to get him.

It's one thing to play well - it's another to have a major attitude problem and play well. Sometimes, even if a person is the best at what they do, they poison the rest of their family or co-workers with their actions.

The Packers had to cut him loose for the good of the team. I personally don't want his kind of "talent" in Chicago. We have enough prima donnas here as it is.

Seriously, I'm sure there are plenty of people who have co-workers that are REALLY good at what they do - but when they walk in the room you groan silently. Or when they call in sick you have a little internal celebration. Those types of people, while exceptionally good at their jobs, are very bad for moral.

Brett Favre has become one of those people.

No - that would be the Bulls who offered O'Bama a contract. O'Bama would be a perfect flip-flopper for the Bulls, who need a floor leader who can flip and flop.

I watched the Green Bay brass' press conference on ESPN, and their double talk made absolutely NO SENSE. In regards to whether Favre would've been able to be their starting quarterback, McCarthy kept saying "Like I say, we never got to that point." He was getting irritated with the reporters because they kept trying to get to the reason why they never got to that point, but McCarthy kept saying, "You're not listening to me--we never got to that point."
Well, WHY didn't he and Brett get to that point. It seems to me that when you have the youngest team in the NFL and you were an overtime interception away from going to the Super Bowl, you keep the QB who led you there and finished second in MVP voting.
Aaron Rodgers may end up a fine QB, I doubt in his first year as a starter he will lead the team to a Super Bowl. The Packers' decision makes no sense to me. They should have been thrilled that Favre decided to come back. Instead, they trade one of the best football players ever, a guy who NEVER misses a start (in over 16 years--unreal!), who can throw the ball on a dime from a mile, and from just about any bodily contortion, and is a true leader on the field for not even a first round draft choice.
Don't the Packers have the brains to look at how many QBs they used between Bart Starr and Brett Favre and reason that Rodgers is likely NOT to be Starr or Favre.
You just can't replace players like that--they come around so seldom.
When the Edmonton Oilers let Gretzky go, when the Bulls let Jordan retire because they didn't keep Phil Jackson, those teams never recovered. As a Packer fan, I fear the Packers have just traded away for a few coins their chance to get to a Super Bowl. And what a shame--Brett Favre deserved the chance to play in one last one.
