Will Tom Brady be out for the Season?

Maybe. So, they are looking to bring in a veteran QB.

I wonder of Brett Favre thinks he un-retired a few weeks to soon?

Update: Yes, he’s out for the season.

Our Long State Nightmare Is Over – Favre is Now a Jet

From JSONLINE.com:

Late Wednesday night the Packers and Jets agreed to a trade that would send the quarterback to New York for an undisclosed draft pick, an NFL source confirmed to the Journal Sentinel.

Is this like a Divorce from a Failed Marriage? Eugene Kane thinks so:

That’s what happens to some people at the end of a turbulent relationship. It’s the final kiss-off for a once-satisfying partnership that turned ugly for reasons not immediately discernible but clearly irrefutable. All you know is by the time it’s over, you wonder what ever attracted you to this person in the first place.

We’re talking real human emotions and feelings here between committed individuals, not the current pop soap opera involving a millionaire professional football player breaking up with his multimillion-dollar sports franchise. But the same observations about relationships can be applied to Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers as to any divorce between longtime couples.

Listening to coach Mike McCarthy talk about his meeting with Favre this week, what struck me most was the sense that each party seemed to want some sign of greater commitment from the other to make things work. In my experience, whenever one person in the relationship questions the other’s commitment, that’s a sure sign things are getting dicey.

Favre’s inability to get over perceived slights from the Packers management was easily identifiable to anyone who has been on the downside of a failing marriage. Some say he’s playing the diva, but he’s also clearly having trouble being dumped for a younger replacement.

Is this how the old-time fans felt when Bart Starr (the greatest packer QB of all) retired to be replaced by Scott Hunter? Maybe not. Starr went out with grace and style and remains beloved. Of course, he didn’t go play somewhere else.

My Favorite packer Quarterback was The Majik Man who made Packer football fun again with a team that could win. I am sure there will be future QBs who will too.

Somehow, I felt compelled to think of this:

On Brett Favre: It is time for the Packers to gracefully let him move on

I have been a Packer fan since I was a kid and my dad taught how to follow pro football (real football, not soccer) starting with the 1972 season were the Pack won the central division. It was a long drought until the fun 1989 season!

The Favre drama is distressing.

The way I see it, he had until draft day, to seriously come back as Packer.

He is the past. He is old and will not improve physically. He is no longer the stretch QB or cold weather QB he used to be.

It is time for the Packers to move on.

It is time to move on, but to not destroy the Packer-Favre relationship.

The Packers should trade for a 1st round draft pick to any other non-conference rival team that Gavre agrees to. If he is really set on going to a conference rival (aka the Vikings), we should get a 1st and two 3rds as compensation.

Favre can move on. In a few years (after he retires again after this season), the Packers canretire his jersey and induct him into the Packer hall of fame. His season as a non-packer can be forgiven and forgotten. After all, even Saint Lombardi went on to coach for the Redskins.
