Source: Favre Cedes Starting Job To Rodgers (Make It Stop!)

Our long national nightmare may soon be over. Details from Monday's late-night summit between Brett Favre and Packers coach Mike McCarthy are beginning to leak, despite our best efforts not to care, and it appears that our flip-flopping hero wants no part of a quarterback competition with Aaron Rodgers. Take it, it's yours, says Favre. Or at least that's according to Fox Sports, which says that Favre is mindful of destroying the team's chemistry. Yes, the LAST thing Brett Favre wants to be is a distraction.

The two sides are expected to meet again in the morning as they try to work toward a solution palatable to both sides. However, one detail FOXSports.com gathered from the meeting was Favre's insistence that he did not want his presence to destroy the team's chemistry. In fact, Favre was adamant that he wanted to do what was in the best interest of the locker room and admitted this distraction was not what his teammates needed.

Another agreement from the meeting was that, despite reports to the contrary, there would not be an open quarterback competition as even Favre felt this would not be in the best interests of the locker room. Thus, Aaron Rodgers is the team's starting quarterback.

So could Favre be headed, finally, to the Vikings? I just can't picture anyone's bedroom with a Favre fathead in a Jets uniform.

UPDATE: Ah, just what we needed in this saga ... former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer.
