More on Favre

Right now, it looks like Brett Favre might be traded, possibly to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Let me say this: I realize the Green Bay Packers made a commitment to Aaron Rodgers as starting quarterback, but the team also made a commitment to Favre well before Rodgers was playing high school football. Green Bay should ride out that commitment. If Favre wants to return to football and play quarterback for Green Bay, Green Bay should let him. They committed to him long term, and now they are reneging on that commitment so they can play a younger player.

Basically, Green Bay management is treating Favre the way it is due to Favre's age.

Finishing the commitment with Favre is the wise thing to do, because this guy isn't going anywhere soon. He'll be retired for good in a year or so, and the Packer organization is going to have this mad, bitter Hall of Famer lurking around. Green Bay needs to maintain a good relationship with the man, and it's doing everything to sabotage it. This is not sound long-term strategy for the organization. It's a public relations nightmare now, and it will continue for years on down the road when all Green Bay had to do was allow their icon quarterback to play.

It's stupid. It's plain stupid.

When we're all reading about this and watching it in the media in the coming decades, we should all remember to point our fingers at the team. The blame falls squarely on the Packer organization. This whole fiasco is bad personnel management at its finest.
