The details about what the Packers would look for in return have not been revealed yet, but besides the quarterback doing blue jeans commercials for the rest of his life, Favre-to-the-Jets would seem to be a perfect scenario for the Pack. They'll get rid of the albatross, get something in return, and Favre can end his career trying to find a receiver to throw to on a lowly Jets' team. Take that, old man. Plus, with the Jets not on the Packers' schedule this year, there's absolutely no chance they'll be faced with the possibility of an emotional upset win at the hands of the gunslinger. Unless, of course, both teams make the Super Bowl, which is about as likely as Favre suddenly gaining some of his tactfulness back.

The speculation about Favre heading to Tampa moved aroundplenty this week, but it has all been disregarded. (Of course) But if Farmer is to be trusted — and there's no reason not to at this point — it appears if Favre is going anywhere, it's the Bucs. For now.

Guess the conversations Favre has had with Gruden were all made on a pay phone.

Finally, Glazer peeled himself off the jiu-jitsu mat and comes through with this scoop — the Packers have filed tampering charges against the Vikings.

The allegation stems from Favre's supposed "inappropriate" dialogue with Vikings' offensive coordinator Darren Bevell, who's also Favre's buddy and a former Packers' coordinator, before this whole mess happened. There have been no confirmations from the league about this filing and the Vikings deny any wrongdoing.

If the Vikes are found guilty, they'll possibly lose draft picks and get slapped with fines — and probably back off their supposed pursuit of Brett Favre.

Newt offered his opinion on how the Favre saga should play out on his website yesterday, imploring the Packers to keep Brett in Green Bay. Here's his long-winded, heartfelt plea. A "Contract With Favrerica", if you will:

A Plea From Two Packers Fans - Paul Lubbers is my son-in-law, but we share more than family ties. He's also a fellow shareholder in the Green Bay Packers. And as responsible shareholders, we – like many of those invested in the Green & Gold - feel compelled to speak out on the turmoil surrounding the return of Brett Favre to the NFL and whether or not he should wear Packer's uniform.

Should Favre have taken some time (like he did the past few years) to rest, recover and reclaim some perspective? Yes. Did he make a bad decision to retire? Also Yes. Should Ted Thompson and the Packers welcome him back to Packers family? Absolutely!!

For the last 16 years, football fans have all had the opportunity to watch Favre display his many gifts as a quarterback, breaking every NFL record, and leading the Packers to the playoffs 11 times during his tenure. His performance last year proved beyond a doubt that he can still play.

I understand that the Packers have made plans to build the offense around Aaron Rodgers, but plans are made to change. And in this case the Packers should adjust their plans quickly to bring back Favre. Can you imagine Favre as a Viking or even worse a Chicago Bear?

The fact is Brett Favre made a bad decision, kind of like when he throws one of his record-setting interceptions. Now it is the Packers turn to change their mind and put the ball back in Favre's hands, so that he can again throw some more record setting touchdowns wearing Packer Green & Gold.

Somebody should check John Ashcroft's Facebook page in the next couple days to see if he mentioned anything about Favre.
