Brett Favre to ditch retirement & return to Pack?
Green Bay, WI:
Just heard on the radio here, Brett Favre may now be approaching the Green Bay Packers to return from retirement.
Apparently the old boy still has the itch to play, can’t blame him for that! After last years run to the Superbowl, why not try again? You only live once! Go Brett! Let’s hear your opinion!
FULL STORY on ESPN.
UPDATE: See the official response from the Green Bay Packers organization.
In an unrelated development, former Packers General Manager Ron Wolf has purchased a home in Green Bay and will be moving back to the area once his Annapolis, MD home is sold. The move is said to not be related to any involvement within the Packers organization. Welcome Back Ron!

July 27 2008 _ Brett Favre has not yet signed and submitted his reinstatement papers to the commissioner. Packers GM Ted Thompson has asked Favre not to show up for training camp for a few days while they work this out. Favre has agreed and states he does not want to distract the team. What a sorry state of affairs for our former MVP of 18 years.
Seems rather like the way long term employees are treated by companies these days.
