Does this mean that they'll finally shut up about him? I couldn't wait for this controversy to end so that maybe they will stop having a Brett Favre moment every other moment on ESPN.

yeah and i think that is total crap!!!! another team controlling a third party's intrest in a commodity (spl).....thats like me saying I'll sell you my truck but if you sell it to this person that I dont like then you owe me an extra 5,000 bux. You own the the truck you'd sell it to who ever you want right?

Well being a diehard Packer fan I completely disagree Ted Thompson EGO 
has completely got in the way of Favre ever playing in GB, he wanted to PLAY there not sit on the bench, the fact that they were making him compete for his job was the biggest slap in the face and while he'll be missed I dont blame in for wanting to get out.
And hear this if the Jets and/or Favre tear it up this year and Arron Rodgers does poor, Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson will be tar and feather then hung off of Lambeau field, or at least fired

First, while Brett is still likely one of the 5 or 6 best QBs in the league, he's on the end of his career and the Packers need to invest in Rogers and get him some experience to mature.
Brett has jerked around the Packers by retiring and unretiring. The Packers can't sit still like deer in the headlights and wait for BF to decide whether or not he's playing another year.
The Packers were right to make BF compete for his job again after announcing he was retiring. Do you get to "unretire" from being a CEO and just walk back into your own job?
Seeing BG in a Jets uniform will make my eyes go crazy, just as it does to look back at his first year pics in a Falcons uniform. He's a Packer in character no matter what jersey he wears because he represents the rugged determination, class, and love of the game associated with the greatest of the previous Packer teams of yore.
I wish him well and will always admire him, but he's not entitled to be NEXT year's qb based on what he did years ago-- even last year.

I understand what you're saying but as long as it's yours to sell, you can set the sale terms. If the buyer doesn't like the terms, they can buy elsewhere. Non-compete clauses in business sales are another example. If the buyer agreed to the sale terms, it apparently wasn't an issue to them.

i think he came back thinking about redemption for last year's NFC championship game interception in OT, but if he's lying on his back in Foxborough in December, with the Pats up by 20 late in the game, he may reconsider his decision.
i hope he does well with the Jets, but don't forget they were 4-12 last year, and didn't seem like they were on the verge of turning it around.

Well I was watching it on TV and said the same thing before he let it go, that it was a mistake to throw that ball. Brett has some incredible passing records but the only way to get them is to take chances throwing the ball.
Sometimes he seems to force the issue a bit but I think he is so competitive that he believes beyond a doubt he can make the throw........He has proven that point many times in his career only to also pay the price as he did in that game.
All in all I think I would prefer to have a Quarterback that isn't afraid to take the shot

it was not a mistake. had he not thrown that ball, chipmonk, family of chipmonk, and friends of chipmonk might have been deprived of the greatest ending to a football season in our lives. the Giants not only won their third Super Bowl, but ended the almost perfect season of the Pats.
