Favre Wants To Play For the Packers

From Rob Demovsky over at the Green Bay Press Gazette:

...(the) source said he last spoke to Favre earlier this week and that Favre indicated at that time that he still hoped a resolution could be reached to allow him to return to play for the Packers, but that Favre was “hurt” by the fact that the Packers have decided to move on to Rodgers.

“That’s why he’s all torn up about it,” the source close to Favre said. “He told me, ‘I can still play.’ But he doesn’t want to get traded somewhere to a team that has no chance to win. His thought was to go back to Green Bay, but when they told him he’d be No. 2, that hurt his feelings.”

When the source close to Favre was asked what he thought the quarterback would do, the source said: “Brett said ‘if my dad were still alive, he’d tell me to get on that plane and report to practice’.”

“Brett said ‘if my dad were still alive, he’d tell me to get on that plane and report to practice’.”

This comment makes me wish that Big Irv was still around. We certainly wouldn't have this circus like atmosphere going because he would have kept Brett's ego in check.

Yes, that is exactly what Big Irv would say. That, and to apologize to the fans, organization, players etc. for all the fuss.

Now Brett, listen to Big Irv from the sky and get your butt to camp, work your ass off to start and apologize profusely to everyone. Lastly, accept whatever outcome happens with grace and your usual style. 'Nuff said.
