" I know we got a lot going on around here and and baseball then and and everybody's -- kind of focus here. I gotta tell you while -- board meeting tears over the first. 148 days that it went on also the last 24 hours the Brett -- things just got me fascinated out of the blue."

" Yeah I'm with you. Of the first fascinating part ways. Paying a guy 25 million dollars to go away Curt Schilling thought that was a cool yet that's a good thing this event. Get more interest in when the guy you offered me up and pay him go way you know here he says on on them. -- a comeback complete football. So he's reinstated. And at one point it looks like he's going to be an open competition. And jolt in the ass of this has to be amidst print this would be something I've misheard. Or is Rogers it must've missed remembered this."

" By the hour meeting. A five hour aren't -- don't know no more than five started at seven went past midnight blue. Just McCarthy and are they play poker and I know I don't know. What do you do for a five hours them meeting. -- Well not only that but he canceled a scheduled media conference McCarthy did he ski he canceled a meeting with his quarterback -- Because he was still in this meeting with far I was just watching ESPN news here human its own -- and he -- reporting live from green today. And it appears that the crap is that the fan out there. He Brett was mostly on the practice field 2 o'clock today it now appears that he will not. Because according to Wendy the message that it took more than five hours to -- our last night -- it's not an open quarterback competition. Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback if you're on board with coming in here as his backed up welcome back."

" Don't have slowed down. And and I'm sure both people both parties. Are to blame. In this Brett -- half the shares some blame and so the Packers but I'm taken side object in this item Brett Farr. The Green Bay Packers are dot com. Or bad. Can it over a long time outs over. We are going to release -- far. We are going to trade that part -- go to Minnesota. Fine twice a year we don't think he's that good anymore we don't think Minnesota's -- got Aaron Rodgers terrible -- our franchise. We -- defense Brett -- we know it strikes absolutely we know his weaknesses too. You've got the ball -- over the course of his Green Bay career. You deserve whatever you hope they go to what fourteen. Or dump franchise. You can control the story. And and concentrate on the 2008 season but while everybody else your division Minnesota include errors are quarterback Tarvaris Jackson. Everybody else is focused on the 2008 season steal. Our secure fault. Are all your mama."

" Well Jay Glazer is the one who initially have the report on foxsports.com. As I said I just saw Wendy on ESPN news -- the Green Bay following up on Murton and Blazers for fall -- it could context period bodies. Especially good in that geographical part of the world yet he -- he's very good up there. I guess I mean in Glazer reported this first. They are committed to Aaron while Mike McCarthy is committed to Aaron Rodgers being his quarterback --"

" That's why can't -- if you want Aron Rogers as your quarterback I don't blame -- for that. He's not as good at he's not as good as Brett -- but at some point. You have to move on from far you have to give the ball to the guy. She's been a first round draft pick on yet to figure out if he can play and that and and I guess. They are ready to move on from Brett -- no problem with that is their right. They can do whatever they want. But if you got to make that decision. Why is Brett -- still a member of your franchise."

" I don't I'll I'll well I don't know vague they don't want him hidden in the division you know. They did they just he's adamant about playing in the division either Minnesota or Chicago Minnesota preferably they're adamant about getting in the hell out of the division. They they just I mean they would love to be able to trade him to the Jets or someplace anyplace but Minnesota or Chicago."

" You can you can't have it both ways as you look at -- you look at it this way -- The playoffs last year who had home field advantage. In the NFC championship game it was -- Green -- yeah. So if they have home field advantage -- the playoff team they won their division. Don't worry about Minnesota or Chicago or Detroit. The then that you come back and yes we had home field advantage because we had Brett -- court okay that's the case Brett part backcourt. If you don't move out from your not."

" It's it's fascinating to me and Wendy as she was reporting on ESPN news said. You know what you get you get around the time of practice today at 2 o'clock and all of a sudden it's going to be what that's going. Is he going to be there is he not it looks right now like he's not. You know how to they resolve this to they trade him to they release some."

" Either -- And but it can't happen there's a backup quarterback if we knew just what you wouldn't think so what did is just silly because about things and this will happen. -- weeks six weeks seven. And Packers fans Banca. Brett -- respond to -- interceptions -- seven Aaron Rodgers. Six or seven touchdown passes maybe fourteen interceptions. What do most franchises at that point when you're an effective at the quarterback spot. With the with the with the back up ended. Going to go to your back quarterback Brett Farr. It happened cumin and oh do a better job in this. Everybody knows he's better than a starter I now. Anyway but -- it is a great thing in your right is there's a lot of the table today. But it does make you appreciate not to talk about the Patriots. But some of the some mark franchises in the NFL and the Patriots not the only smart franchise and that they are one of -- well the Steelers are. The Steelers wouldn't do anything like this team's. Better consistently successful -- what do things and the Steelers wouldn't do this the Patriots wouldn't do this the Colts wouldn't do this. The Chargers -- for a while but there was Drew Brees was that Brett fine and Philip Rivers really had nothing to. -- And he wasn't going to be coming up while on his contract and then in the next year they drafted him they traded warm. And Drew Brees had a great year so it they had to keep Drew Brees and Philip Rivers maybe a year longer than they wanted to move dominated private. The Drew Brees has got to go. They took the hit from people like Peter -- that they were crazy and Drew -- girl go and able and the best franchises know how to handle this stuff and the Packers. They're prolonging this story to be over but yet they prolong the story and last night. Was the was really of the best example of that when you meet with somebody for five I'd --"

" I love my mother but I've got this thing and I'd say after about an hour hotline it's an icon that in my. Ago already had the greens and gentlemen. We talk about old times -- on the street gonna apply my dogs my OK my brother is this you know it's a lot of oh."
