Chevelle, was that a new item or from their last publication date? just curious since they only print once per week. Good news if true, a second would be a good pickup.

The way we hear it, the Bucs are serious about preparing a deal to acquire QB Brett Favre. Sources say Tampa Bay’s offer to the Packers for Favre is likely to include a second-round pick, one more draft choice or perhaps a player, as well. Bucs GM Bruce Allen would like to get something done sooner rather than later, perhaps within the next few days to avoided letting the distracting rumors linger and also to give Favre as much time as possible to learn the offense.

WHAT THE FUCK???

Just heard Rich Eisen on the Dan Patrick show confirm that Favre is coming back to Packers and will report to camp on Sunday. Adam Schefter also said that Favre and TT had a cordial phone conversation yesterday and it appears Brett will be competing for the starting job in camp. He told TT he wants to play in Green Bay.

My nerves....

Maybe they could alternate series during the season. Or maybe we can devise a package where both are on the field at the same time.

Did you see that high school team that developed an offense with 2 QBs and that allowed all 11 players on offense to be eligible?

Obviously, that won't happen in the NFL...but it was hilarious to see the clips of the plays that team runs.

Yikes...

I'm not sure whether to hope that this is just a ploy for a better trade deal, or that Favre has finally removed his head from his ass and is willing to be a team player again. Both situations would be an improvement from the current standoff... but jeez.

Are we too late to pass it all off as water under the bridge?

We're in one of those weird places where it's impossible to tell "what's true" from "what's being concocted to drive up the market value of Favre."

At least nobody's going on Fox News now...

Could the Packers and Favre trying to create the illusion that he will play for the Pack, just like the Dolphins did with Taylor.

After the quotes yesterday (or non quotes) at the shareholder's meeting, I think they are reading into this too far.

Of course it's possible. But just the knowledge that Brett and Ted had a cordial telephone conversation after all that's been said is pretty jarring.

Then again, this phone call was on Monday, right? If Brett had seriously determined to come back to TC and compete, they would have made the announcement yesterday at the rally, right? This must be a trading ploy.

Dang you ted and Brett for raising my hopes yet again!

[BallHawk]

I'd think that it's just a ploy to show Brett is committed to playing and that he will play somewhere. I find it hard to believe after all of this that TT will just have him back. There's too much scorched earth between them. Unless Favre said "Ted, what I said was said out of frustration. If you are willing to have me back I'll compete for the job."

But would Ted make the odds even? Would he give an edge to Rodgers or would it be "let the best man win."

This is crazy. There are too many possible scenarios and reasons for all of this. God, I hope this is resolved by Saturday night.

[Chevelle2]

I think him coming out and saying he will report and filing his papers means......


THEY FOUND AN AMICABLE TRADING PARTNER

[Freak Out]

Well....... It has to be because of a trade deal...

JETS GET PERMISSION TO TALK TO FAVRE

[packrat]

I just got a call from my second cousin's girl friend that she saw Brett's locker being loaded on a u-haul headed for Green Bay.
