The Brett Favre saga is about to end with the NFL icon in pewter.

The Tribune has learned Favre will not stand in the way of a trade from Green Bay to Tampa Bay and the deal is likely to be finalized within 24 hours.

The chances of the trade unraveling are remote and Favre has indicated to the Bucs directly that he is willing to change teams after 16 years of growing his legend in Green Bay.

So, there ya go, folks. Not to Minnesota, which would have been awful for the Bears. This was where I thought he'd wind up all along.

Now get on the phone about Chris Simms or Jeff Garcia.

I can't wait until Tampa turns around and trades him to Minnesota.

Well, word is the Pack is dead-set on not trading within the division so Bucs and Jets got first shot.

...and there was much rejoicing.

[Posey H8er]

Good news for our division. If we can somehow get Jeff Garcia our team would be vastly improved. Garcia was a Pro Bowler last year with a QB rating of 94.6 and he threw only 4 interceptions in 13 games.

When I heard the news I looked up our schedule and whatya know... we play TB in the first week!

Great. One more chance to put #4 on his ass!!!

I love football.

Are you a Saints fan? Because the Bears play the Colts in week 1. Play the Bucs in Week 3.

I'd love Garcia on our team.

Considering I wanted Garcia LAST time he was a free agent, I'd be all over getting him now. Probably a few things need to happen first :

1) Favre traded to Bucs
2) Orton+Grossman look flat tomorrow
3) Angelo grows a pair

Number 1 might happen, number 2 is bound to happen, and number 3 will never happen.

Yep. My fear is Angelo won't want to "hurt Grossman's and Orton's psyches" and will say that it'll take Garcia too long to figure out their offensive sets. I'll bet Garcia could be had for a song if the Bucs get Favre. A 5th rounder that can turn into a 3rd with incentives.

Jets...?
