Favre story to go away?

I almost regret writing most of the soap opera script that I have on the Brett Favre saga over the last week and change and nothing would make me more sorry than if ProFootballTalk.com’s post from last night is true.

That post suggests that the Packers gave Favre a list of three teams they would consider trading him to and that Favre didn’t like any of the three so he now plans to stay retired. What a horribly boring way for this saga to end.

In today’s early hours PFT has cited the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and the NFL Network in reporting on separate posts that the Packers have called the Baltimore Ravens and at least one NFC team about dealing the bipolar quarterback.

Whether Favre does or doesn’t ultimately come back apparently doesn’t change the Packers’ tampering charge against the rival Minnesota Vikings. So – as PFT puts it – this story isn’t going away for months and months whether they want to cover it or not.

We, on the other hand, will just choose to ignore it if it continues to bore us. After all – training camps are starting and games are just around the corner. It won’t be long before we’re sitting at the sports book in the Wynn or Caesar’s Palace or the Golden Nugget — or all of the above — enjoying week one of the NFL regular season – and hoping the red eye flight home Sunday night doesn’t get canceled so I make my wife’s Monday birthday.
