The Packers are asking teams in both conferences what they'd be willing to trade for Favre.

[General_Failure]

Send him to the Bears. It'll be funny.

Brett Favre might want to invest in his own cell phone
By MJD
It's not as poetically idiotic as Chris Henry getting arrested while wearing his own jersey, but this one's in the same neighborhood.

Remember those tampering charges that the Packers filed against the Vikings? And remember how I thought it would be difficult for the Packers to prove that Favre had made inappropriate contact with the Vikings?

Well, that assumed that Brett Favre wasn't using a Packers-issued cell phone to make those calls to the Vikings. As it turns out, Favre may have done exactly that.

From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:


...Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had an interesting bit of information in a piece he wrote about the quarterback today.

McGinn writes that a source said Favre had continued to use a Packers-issued cell phone and that when the team checked the phone records it found "repeated calls to coach Brad Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell."

The possibility of Favre having used a phone issued by the Packers had been speculated on last week after the Associated Press reported that Green Bay informed the NFL it felt "an investigation of the phone records would show more than 'normal contact' between the Vikings and Favre, even before he formally asked for his release to play for another team."

In fairness to Favre, it should be mentioned that any phone calls he made to the Vikings were made in a gunslinging fashion, and through the entire conversation, he looked like a kid out there, just having fun. 

Say this turns out to be true, and tampering by the Vikings can be proved. And say that the Packers do what they're expected to do, and block Favre from playing for the Vikings. Favre could end up costing the Vikings draft picks and fines while never playing a down for them, while also putting the Packers in this miserable position.

Give him a couple more weeks, and he might just find a way to tear down the entire NFC North.

He's such a douchebag, I know he's godlike in GB but I'd really love to see their fans turn on him.

[Diomedes]

that's some funny shtein

[PhillyPhreak54]

SalPal, either serious or looking to start more McNabb controversy, reported on SC that the Eagles were the NFC team that the Packers contacted.

[Diomedes]

The Packers call the Eagles before they cut an undrafted rookie free agent...of course they called

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Andy loves him some Favre, but I don't think even IGY would pay $12 million for Favre.

[Diomedes]

He'd pay $26M and not a penny more.

[Father Demon]

Favre better be asking for some big Castillo-like guaranteed money.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That's so not funny, man.  Why you gotta hate on IGY?

Packers to delay retiring Favre's number

No way!

Favre to report to Packers camp

Schefter's story made it sound like, despite all indications otherwise, the Thompson and the Packers have come to the conclusion that they are better off with Favre under center, which would again relegate Aaron Rodgers to backup duty.

Poor, poor Aaron Rodgers.
