    Certainly seems that way. And if Rodgers wins the job, Favre probably retires on the spot and can't accuse the front office of forcing him out.

    The circus is far from over. And we'll still have hourly updates each day from ESPN.

    Don't they start their live 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. SportsCenter soon?

    Fuck. They'll move their studios to GB.

    I believe that happens next Monday. And you may be right.

    Sixteen years after Brett Favre came to the Packers, he is returning for a seventeenth season. He has had a great career with our organization and although we built this year around the assumption that Brett meant what he said about retiring, Brett is coming back. We will welcome him back and turn this situation to our advantage.

    Frankly, Brett’s change of mind put us in a very difficult spot. We now will revise many actions and assumptions about our long-term future, all predicated on Brett’s decision last March to retire. As a result of his decision, we invested considerably in a new and different future without Brett and we were obviously moving in that direction. That’s why this wasn’t easy. Having already crossed the Rubicon once when Brett decided to retire, it’s very difficult to reorient our plans and cross it again in the opposite direction - but we’ll put this to our advantage.

    Brett will be in camp tomorrow. Although there has been uncertainty regarding Brett’s return, Ted Thompson and Coach McCarthy had previously discussed this and have had a plan in place. Coach McCarthy will talk to the team and the quarterbacks about the plan moving forward, and after he has done that we will share it publicly.

    No matter what, I look forward to another successful season for the Packers and our fans. This has been a tough situation, but the Packers will make the most of it.

    Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy

    I'm sure the Raiders could use a good quarterback.
