PFT and JSO confirm that Goodell won't be reinstating Favre today. Mortenson says that he won't be on the plane to Green Bay tonight then either, and since he's got the ins with the Favre camp, don't wait up for Brett tonight.
FAVRE WILL NOT BE REINSTATED TODAY
Posted by Michael David Smith on July 31, 2008, 6:29 p.m. EDT
We don’t know whether Brett Favre is following through on his plans to fly from Hattiesburg to Green Bay this evening, but if he does, he won’t be able to report to training camp tomorrow morning.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has decided not to reinstate Favre today, instead waiting to see whether Favre and the Packers can come to some sort of agreement before he needs to rule on Favre’s petition for reinstatement.
But while it’s understandable that Goodell would hold out hope that an amicable resolution can be reached, it seems unlikely. The fundamental fact that Favre wants to play and the Packers don’t want him to is simply not going to change.
So even if Favre can’t report to camp tomorrow morning, unless the Packers agree to cut him or trade him, it’s only a matter of time before he does.
