Favre really does want to come back

I guess the cat is out of the bag.

Brett Favre really does want to resume his playing career. It has also been made known that the Green Bay Packers no longer want him on their team.

And who can blame them?

They did what they had to do and prepared for life after Favre. They redesigned their offense around the strengths of new quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Now, just a few weeks before training camp, Favre wants to come back and have them undo everything?

That’s ridiculous. And, as I said in a previous post, very selfish.

Now Favre is asking for his release, and basically trying to dictate everything. He doesn’t want to be traded because he wants to be free to join whatever team he wants – even a possible division rival. You know the Vikings and Bears have to be somewhat interested.

In his letter to the Packers, Favre’s agent suggested that the Packers should basically succumb to Favre wishes because of his legacy and everything he has done for the franchise.

He seems to forget that this is a business.

Personally, if I were a member of the management, I would be insulted. Favre knows that he has put them in a no-win situation.

Regardless, of what they do, they will be looked upon as the bad-guys.

That is just not right.

The Wizard has spoken.
