Completely agreed BBB. I think one of the reasons I've never been a big Favre fan is I've always hated how much the media has salivated over him over the years. But for some reason this story has me very interested. Maybe because it's him in a negative light for once, I dont know. Anyways, sorry to pile on the Favre news, but this one's kind of a big one: Favre left Packers TC today, and asked for his release again, and now reportedly he's sitting down with Thompson to iron out a deal for him:

I'm not surprised, and this is definitely best for all involved. Favre being there is just too much of a distraction for the team, and not fair to the rest of the players as they prepare for the season. I'm also not surprised Ted Thompson went back on his hard stance again, as he was taking some serious flak last night on ESPN radio by the hosts for not sticking firm to his beliefs when he allowed Favre to come to camp. They were saying this was the difference between teams like the Packers vs. successful teams like the Chargers, Colts, etc, where GM's stick to their guns and do what they feel is best for the team, no matter what anyone thinks. I'm sure Thompson heard about it, and its good he went back to his hard stance. GM's are paid to do what they feel is best for their franchise, not what the media/public thinks is best.
...alright, well I'm gone to Phoenix for the rest of the week/weekend for the Saints game, so you don't have to worry about me posting any more Favre news for awhile
