Favre's family members and friends are suggesting the quarterback's retirement in March was not only welcomed, but encouraged by Thompson.

"He has felt like that for the last couple of years, that the Packers didn't really want him back," his mother, Bonita Favre, told a Milwaukee TV station.

"It all comes down to Ted Thompson," reporter Al Jones, a good friend of Favre's, said. "The main thing is the man has shown no respect to perhaps the greatest quarterback in their franchise history. Brett's a little disappointed. He feels like he can still play. He knows he can still play."

"When it's all said and done, Ted Thompson is the man to blame on all this," Jones said. [READ]
