Brett Favre say's he has an "itch" to return for another season with the Green Bay Packers.  On Wednesday Favre talked with Mississippi's Sun Herald newspaper.  "It's all rumor," he said of reports that he wants to return.  Favre's brother, Scott, has said he has been working out and there's a 50/50 shot of him returning.  "There's no doubt he can play," Scott Favre told WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee. "He's in good shape, he's working out, we know he can still play, he's healthy, so, if he did, it wouldn't surprise me."  The oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com currently have Brett Favre 2/5 to play a regular season game.

I'm kind of sick of Farve every year doing this, I have all the respect in the world for Favre but if you're going to retire, retire.  I understand the passion the man has for the sport and I respect that, but the Packers need to move on and start building for the future instead of trying to recapture the glory years.  Green Bay needs to move on.  Rogers has been the guy offseason, and he is the guy to lead the Pack now.  Enough of the wishy-washy nonsense.  Farve retired....now he needs to live with his decision.  Besides, at this point, Green Bay may well be better off with Rogers.  The oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com currently have Brett Favre 1/4 not to play a regular season game.

ESPN's source said Farve might ask for a release from the Packers and will get to play for another team if he chooses to.  If this is true, this indicates that he still wants to play, and he will return just somewhere else.  "The Packers have no reaction," team spokesman Jeff Blumb told The Associated Press.  "As a veteran and as a leader of the team," Harris said on NFL Live, "I would welcome Brett with open arms."  Last season Favre had arguably the best season by a QB not named Brady.  You have to think that if Favre came back, the Packers would be favorites to go to the Super Bowl from the NFC.
