NFL thoughts

I met up with my friend from camp, Jesse Danoff, on saturday on his way back to the states after traveling around Asia. It was nice to catch up with him. I don't think I had seen him since I was going into 11th grade, but as with most of the people from my camp, when you see them it is like no time has past at all. I would show highlights of Danoff earning the nickname DQ, but unforetunately youtube didn't exist then.

We had a lot to talk about regardless with him having lived in China, and being a huge Pittsburgh sports fan. We realized that the Pirates might have a competitive season in 2017 if everything goes right, and that Steelers injuries are not national news unless they involve Ben Roethlesomething (nice pick cowher) or Troy Polamalu. We were both broken up about our punter getting injured, though really only because of this play

While talking to him, this idea popped in my head about what Green Bay should do with Favre (this is before he was being welcomed back), and before it becomes the sensible thing to do I want to say that I had thought of it.

Why are the Packers not considering trading Aaron Rodgers

This never got mentioned when the conversation came up, probably cause Green Bay insisted he was their starter, but what is the down side in trading him, he's played one game in his career last year (the Dallas game) and played well. So he would look like an upgrade to anyone shopping for a QB. It gets rid of the quarterback controversy immediately. His contract is almost up meaning Green Bay is going to have to shell out top QB money for him because they don't have proof that he isn't that good. PLUS he will want to stick it to them in his contract for leading him on the last three years.
They just drafted Brian Brohm who went from consensus #1 pick when he didn't come out two years ago, having arguably a better year for a worse team, and falling a couple rounds in the draft. So you quite possibly have the steal of the draft and another "1st rounder" to put out there when Favre does retire, or at least another rookie to string along for the next 3 years as Favre waffles again.
Rodgers hates the Pack, he's been waiting for years to be the signal caller for a NFL team, finally gets his chance, and they take it away from him again. He's already coming to Lambeau field on a vendetta, a trade wouldn't change that. Or does he just hate Favre? It was frosty when Favre questioned why they even drafted him and said he wouldn't tutor him, now he's coming back to take the job Rodgers has waited for, and told all summer to anyone that would listen that he is the Green Bay STARTING quarterback. I don't see the downside of getting rid of him, if like all the pundits say, Favre is still better.
It's the NFL no one will care that management lied as long as they win.

I wish I could have been there when Rodgers heard that GB was taking Favre back. He probably created a new swear word.

- what every happened to that whole shooting fiasco with Marvin Harrison. One of the biggest enigmas and loners in the league gets in a brawl at his phili bar, where later people are shot with his gun, and the story just disappears. admittedly he's no Pacman Jones, but that is a pretty juicy story to just die.

-I'm so happy the Pats lost the Super Bowl and I don't have to spend the rest of my years refering to them as the greatest team ever. (even that sentence was disgusting to write)
