That sounds about right...This will simmer over the long weekend allowing Favre to get maximum press.
Then he will announce it is all untrue even though he is the one that leaked it.
Then in a month, it will start again and he will announce his glorious return.
I'd be kinda ticked about this if i'm a packer fan or player. A kicker or role player can contemplate a comeback without really disrupting the chemistry of the team. The face of your franchise contemplating a comeback leaves the entire team in limbo while he makes his decision. A selfish move IMO.
That's Lord Favre for you. He's probably just looking for a way to skip training camp.
Can you blame them? He jerked them around like this last year too.This one could get juicy. The front office really doesn't sound like they want Favre back:

Funny thing is that Packer fans are talking more about Aaron Rodgers than Favre. Apparently Rodgers said "I don't feel I need to sell myself to fans. They need to get on board now or keep their mouth's shut." I'm surprised to see that Packer fans seem to think he should stay retired.
NFL Network's Adam Schefter suggest the Jets, Chiefs, and Ravens as possible landing spots if the Packers decide to trade Brett Favre.
Schefter strongly cautions that he's not reporting or trying to "rumor monger," but these would all be sensible landing spots. The Chiefs once traded for Joe Montana in a somewhat similar scenario. The Jets once thought they would get Favre, but settled for drafting Browning Nagle instead. In the end, however, Schefter says he wouldn't bet on Favre playing football in 2008.
