Brett Favre Breaks His Silence and Now Walker-Sports is Ready to Talk

So the whole Brett Favre issue has dominated the sports headlines for the last three weeks, and for the most part Walker-Sports has tried to avoid the entire situation, partially because it was a difficult issue for us to talk on and partially because we were just sick of the story. Well now that Brett has broken his silence, Walker-Sports are ready to step forward and state their case. Brett Favre blew it on this one. There is no other way to put it; he was the one who knew he was unsure about retirement back in March. He more than anyone else at this point in his career has the ability to control his career and its outcome, there is no reason he should allow someone else to dictate choices to him. Yet, that is exactly what he is claiming by saying the Packers made him choose too early. For the last three years Favre has taken his sweet time in making a decision about returning to football. Every year he did that he held the Packers hostage as they were forced to hold on their plans for the draft and the future of the organization. The Packers have given Brett more chances than anyone else, and this year Ted Thompson decided it was time to stand up for the Green Bay Packers. And I say good on him. The Packers needed to make a plan for the future and yes Brett Favre is a hell of a QB and probably the Packers best option still, but he is not the long term solution. Green Bay needed to get moving toward their future. It's understandable that Brett had plenty of apprehension about retirement, but it is selfish of him to make the Packers work on his timeline. Sadly, somehow the ultimate team player forgot that it's about the team and not about him.
