BREAKING NEWS: Brett Favre asks Packers for his release
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
The Packers could also just activate him, sit on this and make Brett stew. Then they could let the league know that anyone contacting Brett, or Bus about Brett playing for them would be considered tampering - a major no no with players under contract. Let him pout on the end of the bench until the end of training camp, and then release him before you have to start writing the big checks. It'd be a little late for teams to work him into their offense by that point.
Those of you saying the Packers have no leverage aren't thinking through all the possible scenarios. Now the Packers may decide not to screw with him. But they could screw with him.
Just wait until opening night when Favre beats us in Lambeau in front of a national audience.
It would be cool if we picked him off a couple times and brought back the curse of the dome in reverse...would he play on that surface? cant be good on the knees...

Exactly. DOn't think for a moment that Brett, if this true, gets his outright release. It ain't happening. Going to Minnesota, Detroit or Chicago, not happening. Anywhere else, if not GB, is subject to trade.
We should take him back either way. He's on the cover of Madden this year so his consecutive game streak will end and Rodgers will come in to save the day anyways.

He has played better in domes as of late... and clearly he's played better in GB up until about November for the last few years.
Where's all this global warming that is supposed to make GB feel like LA? Then he'd be good to go
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.
