Did I misinterpret you, or are you saying that people are mad at Favre because they aren't in a union?

Anyway, Thompson gave Favre an artificial deadline and told him he was sending his locker to him in Mississippi /before/ the retirement. Favre did what he could to keep playing ball. The Packers could have simply released him -- after all, he wasn't good enough for McCarthy or Thompson -- but since they refused, he had to force a move on their part.

The "artificial deadline" was "you've pulled this whining wishy washy crap for years. We have a season to plan for. Make your damned decision."
