Don't know under what capacity or expectations, but the circus is coming to town.

I am hopeful that he is allowed to compete for the job.


Favre flight expected in Green Bay
Green Bay - The NFL Network is reporting Brett Favre is scheduled to arrive in Green Bay at 9 p.m. via private jet.

There is a chartered plane scheduled to depart Hattiesburg at 4:10 p.m. with a 6:45 p.m. arrival time at Austin Straubel.

However, Favre is notoriously late boarding his private flights. He was even tardy when he flew up for his "retirement" press conference.

Of course, Favre could change his mind. He's been known to do that.

I don't think he will end up actually practicing with the Packers, I feel that a trade is going to be done by the weekend. If he does practice, they should just let him do the individual drills, and i dsagree with the idea of letting him compete for the starting job. The Rodgers era needs to begin.

I think he needs to just show up at practice tomorrow and go from there. Let what happens happen. It's time to make the front office put up or shut up. If Brett really wants to play this year, he needs to prove it and force management's hand.

The commish needs to re-instate him, so he can get some reps in before family night on Sunday!!!

They said that Bus Cook was talking with the Jets today.......I still think that is the logical place for Favre to go and I'd bet a 2nd round pick gets it done.
