Favre to Bucs: Tampa Tribune

"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 Tampa Tribune reported this at 12:35 and ESPN started scrolling it as "Breaking News" about 10 minutes after. Apologies if this belongs in a different thread, but it seems to be being treated as more definitive, by ESPN at least.

JSOnline had something of that nature an hour or so ago:

It's just speculation...nothing is finalized.

Amazing. It's going to be hella weird watching him in Tampa red. Damn.

As I said, sorry if this wasn't thread-worthy. I just saw the big BREAKING NEWS banner on ESPN, grabbed the Tampa Trib link and posted.

It's as thread-worthy as my "Favre to Retire" thread.

Well, in case the mods rule this not-thread-worthy, I have decided to update my avatar in recognition of the end of the Favre Era, with a decidedly new-old retro look to my jersey. Please feel free to change thread name to "OT: GhostDog Goes Old School with New Avatar" or something, lock it, shoot it, and then throw it into Lake Michigan.
