OK, Green Bay GM Ted Thompson and head coach Mike McCarthy have refused to grant QB Brett Favre's unconditional release, making him a free agent.Brett has two choices right now as a Packer:
#1. Stay retired.
#2. Come back to the Packers for one more season, as Aaron Rodgers' backup.
Not gonna happen. Favre is NO ONE's backup.
As a business decision, it is smart for Green Bay not to release Favre. Of course, they don't want him playing for a team in their division. From a team standpoint, standing by Rodgers is a good thing. Imagine how you'd feel if you had been named the probable starter for a team, and they go bring back the former QB and certain Hall-of-Famer to back you up. That would shatter my confidence, having to look over my shoulder all season long.
I think Green Bay should keep Favre, and trade him for something other than this soap opera. Right now, all Packers' fans are getting from Favre is heartburn.
Brett, either go to Jolly Roger and get re-instated, or shut up and stay retired.
