He can't be serious!
Unretiring is a sickness with Brett Favre.
Someone stage an intervention. He needs to enter rehab for the affliction.
Eagles may want to sign Brett Favre; Vick would be ‘honored’
Folks, we're really sorry for this. We really are. But it's our duty to keep our Spidey-Senses up for NFL news, and we've caught wind of a … well, we're searching for the right word to describe it … rumor. Howard Eskin of 610 WIP Sports Radio in Philadelphia has it out there that the Eagles are interested in possibly procuring the services of ...
Br…
Bre…
Brett Fa…
Oh hell, we can't even write it.
...Right now, this is just Eskin's rumor, though he's fairly dialed in. The Eagles can't talk to free agents or draft picks, but there's nothing in the lockout rules we're aware of preventing them from talking to retired players. If Favre is interested in coming back to a team able to challenge for a Super Bowl, in a media hotbed, behind a vulnerable quarterback, which a staff he knows, and talented targets all over the place … well, there would be few better places for him to go.
Then, there's the intangible argument. The lockout has taken the attention of the NFL media through the spring and summer; very few people have made Favre the primary subject of their attention, and we all know how he reacts to that.
It's tempting to ask the owners and players to put some sort of "Anti-Favre" provision in the new CBA before the NFLPA signs off on it, but we suppose we'll have to see how this plays out.
...UPDATE: Here's Vick's take on the whole thing; he's pretty clearly setting the terms of such a deal by mentioning Favre as a 'backup.'
I can't wait for training camp to begin in Green Bay. I love the atmosphere.
I wonder if Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers would be "honored" to have Favre as his backup.
I crack myself up.

Wow. Hadn't heard that one yet.
Favre was becoming a parody of himself while he was still in Green Bay. That was several years ago and he's still at it.
I feel bad for the guy.
At a certain point, I didn't think it would hurt his legacy. People would just remember his years with the Packers. Now I'm not so sure.
I guess Favre in Philly is unlikely.
The fact that it seemed a possibility shows how ridiculous the annual Favre circus has become.
I hope the Packers don't retire his jersey for a long, long, long time.
Or maybe it should be retired soon and then brought out of retirement three or four times.
