Quanti sono gli ammerigani? 11.000 voti mi sembrano un tantino poco rappresentativi ma è comunque confortante vedere al momento che a parte a quelli del Minnesota a nessun altro piacciono le minestre riscaldate :gazza:

Cresceranno... 13000 in poche ore (il poll è partito oggi...), aumentate soprattutto all'estero, forse per via dell'orario europeo. Ah, espn è solo il sito sportivo più letto al mondo, seguendo il tuo ragionamento se domani avranno votato in 30000 cosa dovremmo pensare?

Re: GB - Why Brett?... ARod is my QB...
ecco una sintesi degli avvenimenti da cui traspare secondo il mio modesto avviso un po di arroganza del futuro hall of famer
Jan. 20, 2008 - The Packers lose in overtime to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship Game. Both Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy speak briefly to Favre before he returns home to Hattiesburg, Miss.
Jan. 30 - McCarthy and Favre are both at the Super Bowl media center in Phoenix to collect post-season awards and spent about an hour chatting. The two talk again when McCarthy is at the Pro Bowl in Honolulu and later when McCarthy returns home.
Feb. 22 - Sometime during the scouting combine Thompson calls Favre because he had heard reports that the quarterback was mad he hadn't called him. "I called him and he said, 'Well I don't know where you're getting that from, because that's not true.'" Thompson said he reassured Favre he was wanted back and told him McCarthy would be the one communicating with him most often.
Feb. 25 - McCarthy calls Favre on trip back from combine and discusses how he might be able to lesson the quarterback's load and whether Favre can commit 100%.
Feb. 29 - Favre calls McCarthy and tells him if he had to make a decision now, he would retire. McCarthy tells him to think about it over the weekend and both think Favre will play. "Mike talked to him about, ‘Well, what if we change (reduce) some reps or off-season things' and things like that and he was pretty sure that he wanted to retire."
March 3 - Favre calls McCarthy at a function in Austin, Texas, and tells him he's retiring. McCarthy asked if he needed more time and he said no. Favre tells him he can't commit 100%. McCarthy flies back to Green Bay.
March 4 - Thompson, McCarthy and public relations director Jeff Blumb are in Thompson's office and Blumb reaches Favre on his cell phone. "Jeff spoke for a few minutes and then I talked to Brett for I don't know, 20 minutes, 15 minutes, something like that. We got to the point where he wanted to go ahead and make the announcement here and then I think Jeff got back on the phone and then they worked it out that he would come up here and do the press conference."
March 6 - Favre conducts retirement press conference.
Week of March 24 - Offensive line coach James Campen, who is visiting Louisiana, stops in to see Favre at his Mississippi home and is asked by Favre whether he thinks the Packers would take him back. Campen reports the conversation to McCarthy and Thompson. McCarthy calls Favre and hears the same things Campen did.
March 27 - Thompson and McCarthy decide they would be fine with Favre returning even though Aaron Rodgers is set to begin off-season workouts as the starter, and they inform Favre. "Mike said, ‘Ted and I talked and we said, fine.' But we'd like to come see you, and Brett was kind of excited that we were coming to see him." In preparation to leave for the owners meetings in West Palm Beach, March 30-April 3, they arrange to meet with Favre and wife, Deanna.
March 29 - McCarthy makes plans to fly to Hattiesburg on April 1 to make plans for Favre's return. McCarthy is leaving for evening Mass when Favre calls to inform him he has changed his mind. "We were all set for them, but Brett called back and that he and Deanna had a long talk about it and they were going to stick with their original decision."
May 6 - Thompson is down South and decides to pay a visit to Favre at his home. "I called him and said I am thinking about seeing you, I don't have any agenda or anything. So I did, I went and visited. Had lunch sat out on the veranda. We had a long talk and good talk. Nothing really came up other than like with any retired player, you could tell there were a few things that he would throw in there; 'there might be some doubts, I may change my mind,' or something like that. And that was that."
June 8 - Campen goes to Favre's home and has a long talk with Favre and leaves feeling Favre wants to return.
June 20 -- Favre calls McCarthy and the two have a 45-minute conversation in which Favre tells him he might want to play again. "There was more wondering, you know, what ifs." McCarthy and Thompson go on vacation for the July 4th weekend.
July 4 - Thompson receives a text message from Favre and sends a message back at about 8 p.m. back telling him he's traveling and can they talk on Monday? "By Monday I hadn't heard back from him. I sent him back a text saying, ‘Haven't heard from ya, hope you're getting these messages, can we talk Tuesday at noon?' He got back to me and said 'OK,' that it would be better sooner, but I was kind of doing some other things so we set up a conference call."
July 8 - Favre and his agent, James (Bus) Cook ask Thompson for Favre's release during the conference call. It's understood Favre won't be the starter in Green Bay. "There were, I think, conversations with Mike where both parties acknowledged that time had gone by and the Packers had been asked to move on, or move forward, or whatever. That's what they were thinking there (about asking for his release)."
July 11 - Thompson receives a letter from Favre and Cook formally asking for Favre to be released.

Re: GB - Why Brett?... ARod is my QB...
Sinceramente questa cosa mi fa venire un po' di tristezza per l'uomo Favre, che non riesce a farsi una nuova vita. Mi sembra una di quelle persone che a 65 anni, dopo 40 di lavoro come impiegati nella stessa azienda, vanno in pensione pensando finalmente di avere tempo libero e modo di dedicarsi ai loro hobby e poi si ritrovano malinconici a non sapere cosa fare tutto il giorno e a rimpiangere il lavoro. C'e' pero' da dire che Favre e' giovane, ha una packata di soldi e le alternative per rifarsi una vita fuori dal campo di certo non gli mancano!
Stesso effetto, un po' maggiore, me lo ha fatto anche Jerry Rice, che e' finito a non fare la squadra a Denver a 42 anni.

Re: GB - Why Brett?... ARod is my QB...
Favre può fare il commentatore ma, soprattutto, credo che non gli verrebbe negato un posto in società dove potrebbero valutare se ha potenzialità come "politico" del gioco o, in futuro, come coach, magari allenatore dei QB.multiple wrote: Sinceramente questa cosa mi fa venire un po' di tristezza per l'uomo Favre, che non riesce a farsi una nuova vita.

Re: GB - Why Brett?... ARod is my QB...
Partendo dal presupposto che dopo 2 settimane di discussione, siete riusciti a convincermi che Brett non si sta comportando bene, anche dicendomi fatti che o non conoscevo o che ho trascurato.. possiamo tutti capire perchè si comporta così. Dire che è arrogante è un pochino esagerato. Non si sta comportando bene per il semplice fatto che non riesce a staccarsi dal gioco, non altro. Non è nè arroganza nè cattiveria, ma secondo me sta solo usando il cuore al posto della testa nel ragionare. E questo lo porta ai comportamenti che vediamo in questi giorni. Io non lo giustifico più, ma lo capisco.
Poi, Rice era finito, lui invece qualcosa può ancora darla per un annetto, forse due.
Quello che ha detto china lo condivido in pieno, di sicuro avrebbe la possibilità di rimanere nel mondo del football, cosa che litigando con GB sta rischiando di perdere.

Re: GB - Why Brett?... ARod is my QB...
Sul fatto che stia ragionando col cuore non ci sono dubbi, e per questo non mi sento di criticarlo più del dovuto, anche se da una persona intelligente come lui ci si aspetterebbe magari un pochino più di razionalità. Poi è ovvio che lui non si senta finito, ma queste persone, quelle diventano immense nel loro sport, non si sentono mai finite per davvero.Alvin wrote: Partendo dal presupposto che dopo 2 settimane di discussione, siete riusciti a convincermi che Brett non si sta comportando bene, anche dicendomi fatti che o non conoscevo o che ho trascurato.. possiamo tutti capire perchè si comporta così.

Re: GB - Why Brett?... ARod is my QB...
So che sta storia va avanti (troppo magari) ma pensate a questo. Se dopo il lavoro andate dal vs capo e dite "non vengo domani a lavoro", poi dopo dite "si torno" e poi dinuovo "no, non vengo". Brett Favre con i suoi anni magari ha guadagnato la possibilita` di avere qualche "extra", ma di sicuro non questo!

Anche qui mi permetto di criticare il tempismo di Mr. Brett; se voleva continuare, se questa scelta è stata imposta dalle idee di altri in società, allora perché non muoversi prima? perché non evitare il Lettermann Show e altre cose qua e là e non dire, sin da subito, che lui avrebbe proseguito e chiedere immediatamente ai Packers di gestire la cosa? A dieci giorni dai TC le squadre sono pronte, sarebbe difficile trovare posto alla svelta tra chi ha deciso di puntare su un giovane e di lanciarlo e chi ha già un veterano.
Ipotesi:
- Baltimore per crescere Flacco e Tampa, le due più probabili.
- Chicago e Minnesota, sono avversarie di Division, impensabile a meno che Favre non cerchi la vendetta (ma ho già scritto prima che sarebbe controproducente per tutti, imho).
- GB non fa la trade e lo tiene in panca, Favre si ritira del tutto
Brett Favre ai Bears ?

Re: GB - Why Brett?... ARod is my QB...
Più giorni passano e più la mia incredulità cresce....dico, se davvero gli è rimasto qualcosa da dare sul campo, perchè non ha aspettato a indire quella conferenza stampa sul ritiro? Sembra quasi che voglia misurare l'affetto che la gente ha per lui, si tira fuori dai giochi poi provo a dire che torno, vediamo in quanti mi vogliono. Boh, chi ci capisce più nulla. Forse due chiacchiere con l'amico Strahan non gli farebbero male...forse ottenere quel secondo titolo gli brucia dentro più di qualsiasi altra cosa...l'unica cosa che mi lascia perplesso è che sembra tutto così forzato....comunque se fossi Rodgers mi sentirei davvero una m...a.
