Brett Farve, Chris Farley And A Longing For Yesterday

I was spending time at my special lady friend’s house not all that long ago.  She had family and friends in town visiting from Columbus, Ohio (yes, Gator dates Buckeye… riots ensue).  While watching television, one of her younger houseguests was having difficulty recalling the name of “that heavyset guy” that used to be on […]

Favre could be dealt within NFC North after all

The Green Bay Packers and Brett Favre have been hogging the spotlight these days. In fact, if you’ve been watching ESPN lately, Favre even has his own thing on the bottom ticker. That’s when you know you’ve made it.

Favre not reporting to Packers camp after all

The Brett Favre saga is just getting stranger everyday. Last Friday, Favre had notified Packers’ GM Ted Thompson he was reporting to training camp, but after some pensiveness, Favre thinks it would be better not to show up.

Favre furor overshadowing possible Grant holdout

Favre to Packers: Release me!

Well, it’s hard to believe it, but Brett Favre might not be a Packer anymore. After telling Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy and other people close to him that he had an “itch” to play again, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that the NFL’s all-time leader in career touchdown passes and passing yards sent a letter […]

Between a rock and a Favre place: Where does Favre’s uncertainty put Aaron Rodgers and the Packers?

Replacing an iconic quarterback is never easy, just ask Brian Griese or Jay Fiedler. Yet despite some unfortunate comments made in Sports Illustrated, Aaron Rodgers seemed to be in a position to win over his teammates and fan base alike. That is until Brett Favre got an itch that all the Calamine lotion in the […]

Packers saying plenty about Favre by not saying much

Another day, another news item about whether Brett Favre will return to the Green Bay Packers. 
 
If you ask the team’s current and former presidents, No. 4 will stay retired, which, if you read between the lines, appears to be what the Packers want him to do.
