Hello all of you loyal Football ^FAN^atics,

I just watched ESPN’s NFL “Live” that focused on Brett Favre. His wanting to play football again has been the main news throughout the pro football headlines for quite a long time.

The Packers have been “tossing” some juicy monetary offers towards Brett and he hasn’t flinched one way or the other.

Eventhough, all trade talks are on hold until Brett, it’s obviously known to the NFL fans; he isn’t too committed to the Packers or football at all. So what is it Brett? Is this another of your brilliant mystifying plays that the whole league marvels at your ability of pulling off a miraculous victory like you have been successful at for the Packers for years?

Head coach Mike McCarthy said that Brett needs to be a part of football and obviously is part of the Green Bay Packers. AJ Hawk said: “You can hand me a billion dollars, and I’m still going to be on the field. It doesn’t matter to me...But everyone has different situations, has different views on money. Money is not more important than football to me right now.“

As of now, the NFL commissioner hasn’t reinstated Brett Favre. He wants the Green Bay Packers and #4 to talk through this “sticky” situation. Provided it is done that way, the NFL commissioner will make the league’s final ruling.

The Packers have a lone practice on this Saturday (8/2/08) at 2:00 PM! Stay tuned...Provided you don’t hear from me before their opening preseason game (August 11, 2008 Cincinnati Bengals vs. Green Bay Packers on ESPN/8PM) have a good one....

Talk to you soon... Louie (LOUUP)
