Favre To Report To Packers Training Camp

The veteran QB plans on faxing a letter seeking reinstatement to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell as early as Friday. Are you surprised? Me neither. (link)
Hey, can we start calling him Magic Johnson? Perhaps MJ would be a better parallel?

But the Packers are in a horrible situation .

On March 6, the Packers were rid of Favre's $12 million salary and confident in the knowledge that they were moving forward with a young QB and helping him develop.
On July 25, the Packers have to now find a way to either accommodate Favre's $12 million salary or trade him to a team he deems acceptable.

This probably isn't over....

Bears
They zig, he's not there... they zag, he's not there... Hey, Devin Hester's really not there!
There's some really cleaver parallel to Devin Hester sitting out camp for more money and the mortgage crisis... but it's Friday afternoon, and I don't really want to write that right now...

Tennessee Titans discover an amazing new way to practice. Apparently, if you put lights on the practice field, you can practice at night!

CUBS
1) Cubs shore up pitching staff, call up Jeff Samardzija. Over/under on "you know, he played football at Notre Dame" references on tonight's Sportscenter is at 50. I'll take the over
2) Mark Cuban may soon be arguing with the umpires daily at Wrigley, makes the final round of bidding for the Cubs.

METS - Meet the Mets. The first place New York Mets.
