He may have some deferred payments, but he'd probably get those if he played or not. As for Elway, even if he can't walk, he did win two Super Bowls in his last two years, including that great win against Green Bay where he had that diving fist down run when he got flipped on his head. If he can't walk right because he played those extra two years, I'm guessing he still wouldn't trade those Super Bowl rings for a little more mobility. I mean that secured his legacy. He's now the king...<BR/><BR/>As for Favre... the dude obviously wants to play football, and I don't think money is the factor. He's kind of a crazy mo'fucker, always has been... Ship him out, let him sling it someplace else. You got to move on.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.<BR/><BR/>RalphRalphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618874766251321861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503056.post-82869358849216059192008-07-17T20:27:00.000-04:002008-07-17T20:27:00.000-04:00I don't understand Favre's position here.

Now that the pre-season is getting back in his blood he is remorseful of his decision.<BR/><BR/>He is, I believe under contract. So the Packers own him right now. I think that I heard that he could possibly walk the sideline and carry a clipboard and send in signals to the starter. But I don't think that will work for him or the Packers coaches/management. So what do the owners do here?<BR/><BR/>It does not seem unreasonable for the Packers to say that they have his reputation to protect just as much as he does. maybe they still want to sell jerseys and posters. I really don't know, but that is what I guess. Also, for those of us who have ever signed a non-compete to get our jobs, we know that leaving our company to compete against it without their permission is part of the deal we made when we took the job (and the money).<BR/><BR/>So Farve regrets his decision. Maybe he has a few more years in him. IMO he should just stay retired. Look at Elway now and you see a QB who stayed in too long. He walks like Frankenstein's Monster.<BR/><BR/>But if he is really jonesing for a game and he feels like he is getting screwed (despite getting millions for sitting on his couch), maybe he should see if Packers will let him play in the CFL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
