The Brett Favre Saga is Getting Interesting
Posted by ryan on May 14, 2007
Every offseason, most of the rage involves Brett Favre and whether or not he’ll choose to end his phenomenal career. But in 2007, the topic of discussion is a little bit different. In the midst of his tirade about the Packers failing to acquire Randy Moss, Favre reportedly asked to be traded away from the team that he’s starred on since 1992.
“I don’t know if I’ve lost faith, and I think everyone in the organization wants to win. I just don’t know if it includes me. If it’s going to be five years from now, I’m not going to be here. This is 17 years for me and I want to win,” Favre said in an exclusive interview with Biloxi Sun Herald.
There’s no reason that Favre shouldn’t be frustrated by the Packers’ lack of activity. After all, this is a team that’s put together some truly hideous draft classes the last couple years. This is a team that responded to Ahman Green’s departure by doing absolutely nothing. But it’s still a team that finished 8-8 and just a game shy of the playoffs in the dismal NFC. And this is still the same team that he called the most talented he’s ever played for.
It’s one thing to be frustrated but it’s a completely different thing to ask for a trade. The thought of Favre playing somewhere else is simply mind-boggling because for the last 15 years, he’s represented the organization with some of the best play the league has ever seen. But come on Brett. This is still Randy Moss, the same guy whose admitted to giving less than his best effort on the field. Is it worth cutting ties with the Packers over the guy that mooned your fans in the playoffs? I think not.
