Re: GB - Grazie Brett...Inizia l'era Aaron Rodgers...Speremo ben...

[Peyton_Manning18]

Stavo per prendere un libro della ESPN sulla storia del football, ricco di immagini da  ...

Non l'ho comprato perchè la prima foto era quella di Brett... Mi dispiace ma la mia stima per lui è andata a zero... Se dovesse tornare a giocare gli auguro uno 0-16 per chiudere la sua carriera...  :gazza:

Scusate l'off topic pallonaro, ma il Capitano ha sempre deciso se proseguire o meno prima dell'inizio della campagna acquisti... non ha mai tirato la corda con la società... Favre ha fatto "qualche" casino in più...

Probabilmente non si era capito ma era proprio quello che volevo dire...due campioni che hanno un approccio un po' diverso nell'accettare il declino.

ora i rumors dicono di un favre che potrebbe accettare l'offerta di venti milioncini per stare ritirato...e chi ci capisce più niente..

Ma che senso ha dare tutti quei soldi ad una persona perché se ne stia a casa?

As the newly anointed starting quarterback, Aaron Rodgers has been caught in the middle of the crossfire between Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers organization.

It’s not easy following a wildly popular legend like Favre, especially when that legend doesn’t want to leave the stage voluntarily.

Rodgers has been charged with not only leading the 2008 Packers on the field, but also handling the Favre distractions off it.

No one has a better view of how Rodgers is dealing with the pressure than Aaron Kampman, who is the quarterback’s training camp roommate at St. Norbert College for the second straight summer.

Kampman considers Rodgers a friend and believes strongly in his teammate.

“He’s a grown man,” said Kampman. “He’s handling it very well. Bottom line, I think he’s done tremendous. It continues to validate the fact that he’s got some special stuff inside of him.”

Rodgers took Wednesday off from fielding media questions after patiently answering an array of Favre-related queries on the first two days of training camp.

Long after Favre and the Packers resolve their differences, presumably leading to a trade or his release, Rodgers’ performance will be intensely scrutinized. If Kampman’s hunch is correct, Rodgers can handle the heat.

“He’s a guy who’s been through a lot early in his career,” said Kampman. “He continues to keep handling it. That continues to, as I say, validate the fact he’s tough. He’s tough-minded. That’s important.

“He’s been very, very solid.”

Of course Kampman is going to sing the praises of his teammate and roommate, the skeptics will chirp. Except that Kampman, a two-time Pro Bowl player, is known as a straight shooter who doesn’t embellish the facts to appease hungry reporters.

Everywhere you turn in the locker room, veterans and rookies alike offer Rodgers their unwavering support.

If the players have their way, this potentially divisive issue won’t have an impact.

“We are a close-knit team,” said linebacker Brady Poppinga. “No matter what may come, we are going to be solid, stay united (and) strong, and we are going to come out the other end better off than we were at the beginning. That’s just how we operate.”

Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin has noticed no difference in Rodgers’ demeanor despite the swirling Favre controversy around him.

“He’s displaying the fact he can stay pretty much down the middle, not get real high about this article or that comment, and just do his job,” said Philbin.

Favre told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen over the weekend he could beat Rodgers out for the starting job if given the chance. A host of Packers fans agree.

That leaves Rodgers in an almost impossible position. If the Packers don’t perform as well as or better than they did last year, the No. 1 scapegoat will be wearing No. 12.

At least Rodgers can take comfort in knowing his teammates and coaches have his back.

Anche perchè se non fosse così la dirigenza non avrebbe grossi problemi ad reintegrarlo nonostate tutto.

Scusate, ma vogliamo ricordare di chi è la VERA colpa di tutto ?

Per chi mi conosce, io non tifo per nessuna squadra (tranne che North Carolina), ma da adesso in poi tifo per chie gioca contro Favre. Sinceramente sono arrivato al limite quando nel gg piu` importante per MLB (Major League Baseball) tutte le notizie sono di lui e dei suoi capricci sai che qualcosa non funziona!

Io fossi i Packers gli offrirei Tampa/NYJ o 2nd stringer, punto e basta. E se leggo/sento ancora che Goodell propio non ci voglio credere che uno dei "duri" del football abbia fatto "chiamo papa`" perche` gli altri non lo facevano giocare come voleva lui.

Se ti arrabbi coi giornalisti americani non so cosa faresti se fossi qui. Quiando l'Italia del basket alle Olimpiadi di Atene raggiunse la finale battendo la Lituania il titolo principale del Corriere dello Sport (uno dei tre quotidiani solo sportivi italiani) era sulla storia d'amore tra Totti e sua moglie.  :gazza:

favre vuole giocare nella nfc north

Apparently Brett Favre wants to have his cake and eat it too.

The Green Bay Packers have talked to the New York Jets and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but Favre doesn't want to hear of it.

"My intentions have been to play, and with Green Bay," Favre told ESPN's Ed Werder in a text message. "They say no, so I still want to play in this division for obvious reasons, which I made clear to management. If they won't let me play in Green Bay, let me play against you. That's where I am.''

Does Favre or his agent James "Bus" Cook understand how the NFL works?

Favre won't get to choose where he plays unless the Packers decide to release him, which they've been unwilling to do so far. Maybe the only option left is for Favre to consider the $20 million offer from the Packers, which go beyond a straight pay. The move is also not without precedent.

Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports, "Late Thursday night, ESPNews reported that Favre was seriously considering the offer, which would call for him to make public appearances and engage in various marketing campaigns for the Packers. It is thought to be similar to deals offered to other high-profile stars such as Dan Marino of the Miami Dolphins."

Just throwing this out there: If Favre agrees to the $20 million to stay retired, it also leaves open the door for Favre to return to the Packer should Aaron Rodgers get hurt.

... in a text message. Yes, that's how we heard from Brett Favre. He said that he's considering the Packers' deal to remain retired, but maintains that he wants to play. Which will he choose?

è proprio un idiota..
