Filed under: Packers, NFC North, NFL FansLast week, while the Earth stopped orbiting the sun as Brett Favre decided his future, former teammate Mark Chmura offered up his unsolicited opinion on the whole sordid ordeal. According to Chmura, who’s apparently relevant , if you don’t think Favre is the most selfish person on the planet, you’re fooling yourself. Duly noted, sir.

And today, Chmura defies the odds and goes for more than his allotted 15 minutes of fame: he has thoughts on the Packers and Favre: “Well, you know it didn’t have to come to this,” Chmura said. “You wish the two sides could have sat down and ironed out their differences and come together to talk about the situation. It doesn’t look like that is going to happen.” …

“My point is this: The Packers clearly don’t want him back. If you don’t want him back, don’t hold him hostage. Which is what they are doing. Release him or trade him. This is so unfair.” You know, just in case anybody cared what Chmura’s thoughts were on the matter. The ’s Don Walker writes that Chmura and Favre, once chummy during their playing days together, have grown apart since Chmura was charged with sexual assault in 2000 (he was acquitted in 2001).

The two haven’t talked in years, but former Packers center Frank Winters serves as an intermediary for the two. You know, it’s just like a high school romance but exactly different.

Whatever, Chmura thinks the organization is holding Favre hostage, despite his unbelievably selfish nature. Got it? Got it.
