Brett Favre might want to invest in his own cell phone

It's not as poetically idiotic as Chris Henry getting arrested while wearing his own jersey, but this one's in the same neighborhood.

Remember those tampering charges that the Packers filed against the Vikings? And remember how I thought it would be difficult for the Packers to prove that Favre had made inappropriate contact with the Vikings?

Well, that assumed that Brett Favre wasn't using a Packers-issued cell phone to make those calls to the Vikings. As it turns out, Favre may have done exactly that.


From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:


...Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had an interesting bit of information in a piece he wrote about the quarterback today.

McGinn writes that a source said Favre had continued to use a Packers-issued cell phone and that when the team checked the phone records it found “repeated calls to coach Brad Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.”

The possibility of Favre having used a phone issued by the Packers had been speculated on last week after the Associated Press reported that Green Bay informed the NFL it felt “an investigation of the phone records would show more than ‘normal contact’ between the Vikings and Favre, even before he formally asked for his release to play for another team.”

In fairness to Favre, it should be mentioned that any phone calls he made to the Vikings were made in a gunslinging fashion, and through the entire conversation, he looked like a kid out there, just having fun.

Say this turns out to be true, and tampering by the Vikings can be proved. And say that the Packers do what they're expected to do, and block Favre from playing for the Vikings. Favre could end up costing the Vikings draft picks and fines while never playing a down for them, while also putting the Packers in this miserable position.

Give him a couple more weeks, and he might just find a way to tear down the entire NFC North.

Holy Smoking Cell Phone Batman

I think that on the football field, nobody questions Favres intelligence,.,

However, off the field,, well, that might just be something else all together. Geez. If this is true, he's an IDIOT

Serious question here............say only Favre called THEM, maybe over and over. how would that be tampering on the Vikes part? Can the NFL go after Favre for tampering?

At some point the viking would have to sya...Common Brett ya gotta stop calling, were gonna get in trouble, If Brett called them and they both talked about him joining them or how to get out of his contract to joint them than it dosent really matter who called who it really comes down to what both sides talked about. Brett started the talks but the Viking know the rules and have to hang up.

Apparently he is going to call their bluff and show up at camp. I don't think he makes it to the practice field. This is already a huge distraction and needs to go away for GreenBay. I'm just glad it isn't Cleveland.

You guys think you sick of hearing about Favre, Try living in this state

Report: Favre to report to Packers training camp

Last Update: 11:12 am

Print Story | Email Story

The Brett Favre retirement/unretirement saga apparently took another turn on Friday, with the report that, despite prior indications from the Packers that they would like him to remain retired, Favre plans on applying for reinstatement and reporting to camp with the club.

The NFL Network reported Friday that the currently retired Favre plans to submit a letter to the league applying for reinstatement as soon as possible. According to Adam Schefter of the NFL Network, Favre told Thompson of his plans during a telephone conversation on Thursday. The veteran QB plans on faxing a letter seeking reinstatement to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell as early as Friday, prior to the opening of training camp for the Packers on Saturday.

Schefter's story made it sound like, despite all indications otherwise, the Thompson and the Packers have come to the conclusion that they are better off with Favre under center, which would again relegate Aaron Rodgers to backup duty.

Favre requested his release from the Packers earlier in July so he could sign with another club, which the Packers denied. Reports have circulated that the team is trying to broker a deal to send Favre somewhere else, while filing tampering charges with the NFL against NFC North rival Minnesota.

The 38-year-old Favre held a candid, tear-filled press conference to announce his retirement in March. He was set to leave the game as the NFL's all- time record holder in several categories, including wins by a starting quarterback, passing yards, touchdowns and consecutive games started.

Last season, Favre led the Packers to the NFC Championship game after throwing for 4,155 yards and 28 touchdowns and compiling a 95.7 passer rating.

The Packers said they gave Favre the option of unretiring only weeks after that press conference, when he apparently first floated the idea of returning. Favre changed his mind, however, and decided to stay retired. That lasted until July when, with training camp approaching, Favre again reached out to inquire about returning.

This time the Packers management, led by Thompson, was more tepid about Favre's unretirement, as the team seemed ready to hand over the reigns to Rodgers.

If i'm the Packers, I do NOT give Favre a playbook. That's like someone giving you their permission to be kicked in the nuts.

Just because he shows up for camp, does that mean they have to activate him each week? Nope. Obviously not a sound financial decision as they would be paying him to not play. However if they wanted to play hard ball, they could just sit him.

Make him work with the 3rd string offense in camp and preseason and then just don't activate him on Sunday or make him your emergency QB.

Better yet, make him play special teams. LOL. He'll wish he was retired.

Sources: Jets can talk to Packers; Favre ready to report

Favre Plans Discussed At Packers' Shareholders Meeting

The New York Jets have received permission to talk to retired Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre, a source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Friday.

Also Friday, a Packers source told Mortensen that Favre informed Packers general manager Ted Thompson by phone on Thursday that he was planning to report to the team's training camp this weekend.

The Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have expressed interest in Favre, according to a Packers source.

Favre, who retired in April, hasn't made a decision on whether to send in his reinstatement letter. He would need to do that to report to camp.

Favre has asked to be released from his contract and is aware of the Jets' and Bucs' interest, the source said. The Packers have no intention of releasing Favre from his contract, which expires after the 2010 season.

The Packers made phone calls Tuesday to several teams after being encouraged by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to resolve the controversy surrounding Favre before camp opens, according to league and players union sources.

On Wednesday, NFL officials said privately that Favre and the Packers have been talking about which teams he'd be willing to go to in a potential trade, according to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.

NFC North blog

ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert writes about all things NFC North in his division blog.

• Blog network: NFL Nation

It was the clearest signal yet that the Packers will deal Favre to resolve the current stalemate. Green Bay, which has committed to Aaron Rodgers as its quarterback of the future, wants to keep Favre away from its NFC North rivals -- especially the Minnesota Vikings.

Goodell has been briefed by Thompson on the status of the team's approach with Favre. Goodell has encouraged the Packers to accelerate that process by surveying teams around the league to determine if there is a trade partner, sources said.

Goodell also has spoken with Favre, the sources said, telling the veteran passer that he was willing to assist in the process, if necessary.

Several teams in the AFC and NFC confirmed they have been contacted by the Packers.

On Thursday, at the Packers' annual shareholders meeting, team president and CEO Mark Murphy hinted at the possibility of Favre playing for another team by conjuring the image of Joe Montana in a Kansas City Chiefs uniform.

"We want to have positive feelings about Brett and the Packers, and we want him to continue to be a part of the Packer family," Murphy said. "I think the way this is handled will be important in terms of how that plays out in the future. But I'm also cognizant of some of the things that have happened in the past with Joe Montana ending his career with the Chiefs, now you look back on it, most people might not remember that he played with the Chiefs. They remember he was a 49er."

Information from ESPN reporters Chris Mortensen and Sal Paolantonio and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Basically, what I get out of this is that Favre wants to come back, but not with the Pack. Thus the attempt to get an unconditional release from his contract.

---

i disagree. i think that THIS time, the pack FO and coaches believed him when he retired, and had moved on, and are unhappy with dealing with this retired/not retired drama every year.

the packers were in contention for the SB last year, and favre was a major part of that. regardless of how silly he looks doing this again, the fact is the man can still play, and is already under contract to a contending team. there is really no reason he would want to play somewhere else, after the success of last year, unless he has personal issues with the coaching staff, FO, or whoever.

the only reason i can see why GB would not start him another year if he wants to would be to make rogers happy, and that makes no sense. because.....

YES he does look silly posturing every year with his crying fake retirements.

OF COURSE everyone is sick of hearing this story every offseason.

But he might be the best that ever was, certainly the most durable. if i was a GB fan and i had a choice between a happy and contented rogers or favre for one more go, it would be a no brainer. favre was fantastic last year and there is no reason to assume he will suddenly suck. if his teammates are pissed, that will dissipate after a couple of wins.

so.....no i dont think he wants to go somewhere else. i also dont think that when he shows up to camp the packers will have much of a choice. if they bench him they will regret it. if they release him he will go to minnesota and they will really regret it. trading him would make the most sense (besides just welcoming the guy back) but i personally cant imagine even a future #1 being worth more than 1 year of favre if he performs like last year. draft picks are always a gamble, and couldnt help the team THIS year anyway.

also just as an NFL fan id like to keep seeing him play. and not with another team.

anyways just my $.02, if it was canadian pennies it would be worth a little more.

Yeah....allow a local as well as league-wide icon to return to the roster and then don't activate him each week while paying him a gazillion dollars. That would go over well with the fans.

Goodell has already stated that if/when he asks for reinstatement it will be granted, and that the Pack has to add him back on the roster, trade him, or release him.

The options:

ADD BACK ONTO ROSTER- They've already decided to move on and Pack players report to camp tomorrow. Players have been working off and on for months now without him...would he be able to come back in and get back in the groove? Would it be beneficial to their team? All indications from the Pack have been NO in that regard.

TRADE HIM- They've given permission for other clubs to talk to him, the Bucs and the Jets thus far. Why would either club give a high draft pick for a player that will turn 39 during the season and will more than likely be one and done? Would Favre want to go to a team that was 4-12 last year? (the J-E-T-S)

RELEASE HIM- The Pack doesn't want him to go somewhere where they would have to face him twice a year.

Hope it sorts itself out soon so we can move on.

All the Jets fans around here think he's coming to NY of course. And they are pretty GAGA over the idea too I might add. They hate Pennington and Clemens nobody believes he is the answer...the fans were pretty disappointed that they did not draft a QB the last two seasons...especially BQ

We'll see what this saga brings...glad some real football started so we can read about something else...lol

They should just accept him at camp, giving him minimal snaps and delegate him to 3rd or 4th string. Follow that by refusing any trade offers that don't include at least both 2nd and 4th round picks and keep him activated (but on the bench) holding the clipboard for the clipboard QB.

There is no way that he gets cut and unless he gets traded, they'll eat the payroll anyway. Just sit him. He'll quickly realize that he didn't want to end his career as a 4th round QB (even if he could start on just about any team).

Not that he needs the money but if you can pocket millions to just carry a clipboard, I'd take that job in a heart beat. He has nothing else to do and he'd be in uniform. So force the issue with the GB front office and make them pay you to sit. I think when ultimately faced with the issue of having to eat that cap hit they might change their mind and cut him if they can't find an appropriate trade.

The question is, does he have any choice, contract wise, in where he goes if traded? I mean, can he nix the deal if he doesn't approve?

It isn't about the money for Favre. It's about controlling the situation. He certainly doesn't need the cash (I don't think. If he does, that speaks a whole lot about his ability to handle finances) but his ego would take a severe hit. He would retire again before the end of the season.

It doesn't make anyone look good, but he's giving them few reasons to do him any favors at all. The Packers won't cut him. He'll sit, get traded or "retire" again.... only to make a fuss next year that he wants to play.

just clicking..

they should have never drafted Rodgers in the first place IMO when they did... even if he was falling...

Why not. They were looking for a young QB that would take over for Favre and who would be able to step in and lead the team if something happened to Favre.

These past few years with Favre have been nothing but a mental game with Favre. This time, it seems the Pack is finally fed up with him.

I can not wait until whatever the hell happens with Brett Favre and the Packers happens.

I'm watching NFL Total Access, and after 35 minutes, more than half the damn show is related to that. I want to see something else. Please. Like some highlights from some camps. Not located in Wisconsin.

Favre is an egomaniac. he likes all the attention he gets from the media, whether he is returning, or where he is going. what else could it be??? he probably doesn't like gm thompson eithier. he was/is an icon in green bay, yet he probably would suit up for one of the team rivals in minnesota. he cares about no one but himself. his passion for football is unquestioned however.

if he somehow went to minny, that monday night game, could be one of the highest rated ever. Favre should give his speech at halftime when they retire his jersey in minny gear. that would be something to see.

The Packers have already said that the jersey retirement is on hold until further notice.

ESPN is reporting that favre just filed for reinstatement. Ill post the link when I find it.

Well, I don't think that changes the situation much. As much as Brett thinks he's calling their bluff, the Packers still hold all the cards. My only worry is if the new commish gets involved and forces the Packers to do something against their wishes.

98% chance = The Pack will not release him. They will try to trade him, but ask for A LOT in return (forcing a no-trade scenario). And then he'll be forced to sit on the bench and hold a clipboard, in which case he'll retire again.
1% chance = The Jets offer a first and third round pick and get Favre.
1% chance = The commish demands Favre's release.

Source: Favre forces Packers' hand, files for reinstatement

Consider the Packers backed up against their own goal line.

Brett Favre followed through on his statements that he wanted to come out of retirement by faxing his reinstatement letter to the NFL on Tuesday, a source close to the quarterback told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.


Favre's actions now force Packers general manager Ted Thompson to make a decision. Favre told Mortensen on Sunday that the GM had pleaded with the quarterback not to show up at camp on Sunday, so that the situation could be resolved.

"I asked Ted [Saturday], 'Am I welcome in the building if I report?' And Ted was just about shattered," Favre said. "He said, 'Brett, you can't do that -- you'll get me fired.' I told him I'm not trying to get anybody fired. So Ted asked me to let the guys report and let's try to resolve this over the next two or three days."

With no concrete movement in the past few days, Favre made his move. The Packers have publicly committed to Favre's backup from last season, Aaron Rodgers, however.

Favre has offered to compete for the starting job in training camp, but he said in Sunday's interview that he was told that is not an option.

"It's pretty clear -- and this is what I told the commissioner -- that they want me to go away, stay retired," Favre said.

The Packers have also looked into trading their former franchise quarterback, but nothing tangible has happened on that front either.

Favre retired in March after 16 season in the league as the all-time leader in touchdown passes with 442.

Chris Mortensen covers the NFL for ESPN.

The Pack is in a no-win situation as far as PR (and everything else) goes.

If I was Ted Thompson, I'd just take Favre back, cut whomever I have to in order to clear the Cap space, while not hurting the depth too badly, and then hand him a clipboard.
Let the Aaron Rodgers era begin and keep Brett on hand in case of injury. Brett needs to be taught that he can't keep yanking chains and treating the players he pretends to care about like a bunch of yo-yo's.

IF they choose to keep and start Brett, then I would suck it up and trade Rodgers, or just release him outright... but do right by the kid. Give him a chance to get his career going.
There is no way in hell that I would release Brett. He would either be the starter with Rodgers allowed to go find his career or I would knock him down to being the backup.

I would start him and sit Rodgers. People seem to want to feel bad for Rodgers........how much has he made again? Millions upon millions. He's in a good spot as his current contract will expire next year or the year after, and since the pack doen't know what they have they HAVE to pay him and extend his contract.

Seems like a win-win if Thompson would eat his ego and start Brett.

Maybe you're right.

Personally, I would take Favre back, try to deal him but make him the last string QB. I wouldn't start him at all.

I don't know what the cap hit is for them, but I would certainly see if there is any way to negate that hit or lower it because they have been forced to take him back AFTER he had retired.

I think it's 12 million for this year. I hear you but what if he retired BECAUSE of ted thompson. I hear thompson was always lukewarm and after last year IF THEY WANTED Brett......they would have begged him NOT to retire as they almost made it to the superbowl.

I don't think it matters what Thompson does or doesn't do.

Favre obviously has a problem with the Packers front office.

Favre held a press conference announcing his retirement. The Packers moved on. Now Favre wants to play again but since the Packers have moved on. Now, he has asked them to release him outright. They have less need for Favre but it doesn't make sense for them to release him from his contract. They get nothing and he can then go to one of their divisional rivals.

I have reconsidered my view a bit. I wouldn't make him the last string QB. I'd make him a 1st string DT!

Favre to be reinstated, report to Packers Monday

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)—Brett Favre will be reinstated and added to the Green Bay Packers’ active roster Monday.

The NFL announced the move Sunday after commissioner Roger Goodell had held off on granting Favre’s request for reinstatement for nearly a week, hoping Favre and the team could resolve their standoff. By reinstating Favre, Goodell is following through on a recent promise to force action.

The reinstatement will become effective at 1 p.m. EDT on Monday.

Favre’s agent, James “Bus” Cook, confirmed that Favre plans to fly to Green Bay on Sunday and report to the Packers on Monday.

“That’s the plan,” Cook said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Sunday.

Favre could be on the field as early as Tuesday.

Favre retired in March but has been having second thoughts. Team officials have insisted they are moving on with Aaron Rodgers, though, causing tensions to rise between Favre and the team.

It is not clear whether Favre’s reinstatement indicates that he has rejected a long-term, multimillion-dollar marketing agreement offered by the team. Reinstatement could force the Packers to increase their offer to Favre in hopes that he remains retired and avoids turning their training camp into a media circus this week.


Team officials publicly have ruled out releasing Favre, fearing he would immediately sign with division rival Minnesota. The Packers could still also trade him.

The team has a scrimmage at Lambeau Field on Sunday night, then does not have another scheduled public practice until Tuesday morning.

Favre’s arrival in training camp could cause a major disruption to the team, although he would not likely begin practicing with the Packers right away.

Coach Mike McCarthy has said the Packers have a plan in place should Favre report to camp. He first would have to pass a physical exam and a conditioning test, then would likely be limited to individual drills.

Goodell told the NFL Network on Saturday that he thinks the situation has lingered long enough.

“I think we have to force it,” Goodell said. “I think it’s come to the point where there need to be some decisions made on behalf of the Packers, on behalf of Brett, on behalf of all the fans.”

AP Sports Writer Brett Martel contributed to this report.

Well, there's a start to something happening and bringing all of this garbage to an end.

Unfortunately, it won't bring an end to all the media coverage. I hate putting on NFL Total Access, and see half the show spent on him.

I think both sides are to blame. I believe Favre has put himself above the game and above the team, but I also think the team should have made some swift decisions indicating their stance. What's with this whole marketing deal they are offering him? I just don't get that.

What a mess. Better them than us. But if we are lucky, maybe we'll have to go through the same thing with DA in ten years. If we do, you know what that means the previous ten years have been like.

NFL grants Favre reinstatement; sources say QB job is open

Updated: August 3, 2008, 6:02 PM ET

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Brett Favre will be reinstated and added to the Packers' active roster Monday. And at that point, it looks like the fun will start.

Team president Mark Murphy said in a statement Sunday that the team has a specific plan with Favre in camp that it won't reveal until Monday, but sources told ESPN's Wendi Nix that coach Mike McCarthy will announce he's holding an open competition for the starting quarterback position.

Favre's reinstatement, announced by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Sunday, will become effective at 1 p.m. ET Monday. His first practice will likely come Tuesday.

"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," Murphy said in the statement. "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.

Goodell had held off on granting Favre's request for reinstatement for nearly a week. He hoped Favre and the team could resolve their standoff. By reinstating Favre, Goodell is following through on a recent promise to force action.

Earlier Sunday, Favre's agent, James "Bus" Cook, confirmed that Favre planned to fly to Green Bay on Sunday and report to the Packers on Monday.

"That's the plan," Cook said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

Packers officials planned to greet Favre upon his arrival to Green Bay.

Favre does not plan to attend the sold-out Packers Family Night at Lambeau Field, which more than 60,000 fans were expected to attend.

Favre's imminent presence in training camp could cause a major disruption to the team and sets up scenarios of either a competition with Aaron Rodgers for the starting job or the Packers continuing to work on finding a trade partner for the former league MVP and Super Bowl champion.

Favre retired in March but has been having second thoughts for weeks. Team officials have maintained that if Favre returned to the Packers, it would be in some role other than as the starter -- and have said Rodgers is their starter.

Publicly, team officials have ruled out releasing Favre, likely for fear he would sign with division-rival Minnesota.

Goodell told the NFL Network on Saturday that he thinks the situation has lingered long enough.

"I think we have to force it," Goodell said. "I think it's come to the point where there needs to be some decisions made on behalf of the Packers, on behalf of Brett, on behalf of all the fans."


Mark Murphy's Statement

Sixteen years after Brett Favre came to the Packers, he is returning for a 17th 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 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.

Wow is all I can say. You say Rogers is your guy, you say that all through training camp. You tell him that, you draft another QB in the offseason, you offer Farve $20+ million to stay at home. AND NOW you're saying its an open competition? Either Rogers has stunk it up or this is a ploy to keep Farve quiet until they can deal with the situation.

Somewhere in Canton John Madden choked on his turducken wing in excitement!

the packers are bluffing. no way they let favre start and win a competetion. If they do rodgers should ask for his release asap. what if favre retires again?? is brohm ready to take over next year?? they seem to like rodgers.

I see this as a way to deflect attention off the situation, and possibly force favre's hand if he doesn't get the starting job. they're out to get favre and make an example out of him. they have too much invested in rodgers to do anything else.

j/c

I used to like Favre in a begrudging sort of way. I liked him cause he was good, and I didn't like him because he was good.

Since he's pulling all these shenanigans, if I were the packers, I'd start his ass. With the third string O line.

Favre has lowered his perceived "value" and experience and legacy with this B.S. I hope he gets hurt.

Yup. I said it. I hope he gets a career ending injury. At least that way we'll know he's done with football for ever. Either that, or I hope he starts and throws 30 interceptions and 3 touchdowns.

I'm sick of this punk. Get it over with already. The Packers have done everything imaginable to placate this jerk.

Send him to the vikes. Learning a new system, having no experience with the receivers.........let him dig his own grave.

I officially cannot stand Brett FARVE. (it's about damn time someone tells him how the english damn language works, too. You cannot spell a word one way, but pronounce it a different way FARVE is farve. FAVRE cannot be pronounced "farve".

Take your sorry lame ass and shove it brett.

If I quit my job, then showed up 4 months later and demanded that my bosses demote my replacement and give me my old job back no one would sympathize with me. It continues to amaze me, the amount of people (especially the media) who are behind Favre in all of this.

On a side note, I went to packerchatters.com tonite to read their message board. They have an entire forum entitled "Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers" with over 1,041 topics and 27,759 replies. HAHAHA! I am so glad that for once we don't have a quarterback controversy and it can be someone else. And although I did not read all 27,759 replies, it seems that a good contingency of packer fans are tired of Favre and want Rodgers. There is a small group of Packer fans, who want Favre for 2 years, get rid of Rodgers and groom Brohm.

Personally, IMO GB is now Rodgers team.
