"Yes, I realize that everyone will say that Favre didn't break any rules and didn't do anything illegal. Well, you know, screwing your best friend's girl isn't illegal, either. . .but it sure as hell isn't right."

"Favre called the Detroit Lions, starting off with (former Detroit general manager) Matt Millen, Glazer said. "Matt Millen then put him in touch with the coaching staff and gave the coaching staff like an hour or a 90-minute dissertation, every single thing that the Green Bay Packers do on offense. It's his former team. He's calling a division opponent of a team he has nothing to do with any more and just let's loose all the family secrets. How about that?"

"(Bigby) didn't finish practice yesterday. He worked through most of it. I talked to him afterwards, thought he had a chance today. But in his evaluation this morning, we ended up holding him, so it looks like he won't be back until after the bye week," coach Mike McCarthy said."

According to two NFL sources familiar with the negotiations, the Packers had drawn up the trade paperwork and sent it to the Chiefs to finalize the deal — a third-round pick for Gonzalez — only to have the Chiefs call them 10 minutes before the deadline to say it would take a second-round pick to get the deal done.

On a side note, Al has only missed one other football game in his whole HS, College and Pro career. He suffered a high ankle sprain in college and missed just 1 game. In addition, he is so determined to play that he has already asked one Doctor on Monday to "remove his Spleen so he can play against Tampa this weekend". The Doc obviously made it clear that was not a good idea and the recovery time would be several weeks.

NFL Network's Adam Schefter suggest the Jets, Chiefs, and Ravens as possible landing spots if the Packers decide to trade Brett Favre.
Schefter strongly cautions that he's not reporting or trying to "rumor monger," but these would all be sensible landing spots. The Chiefs once traded for Joe Montana in a somewhat similar scenario. The Jets once thought they would get Favre, but settled for drafting Browning Nagle instead. In the end, however, Schefter says he wouldn't bet on Favre playing football in 2008.

According to Chris Mortensen on ESPN's NFL Live, Brett Favre is seriously considering coming back to the NFL for one more season. Mortensen said Favre told McCarthy that he has the "itch to play again." ESPN's NFL Live broke the news exclusively at the 4 p.m. hour. All Harris reiterates. "He's got the itch."
