Brett Favre Back?

So the latest news is that the Packers will offer Brett Favre $20 million to retire, instead of showing up at training camp. Since they would have to pay him his $12 million salary if he showed up, they are offering him eight million dollars to stay away.

Sheer insanity. You have a realistic chance to go to the Super Bowl with Favre. We don't know what the odds are that Aaron Rodgers will take you there at some point, but they can't be terribly high, given all the unknowns of an untried quarterback. Packer management is nuts, or, more likely, is letting ego get in the way of winning.

As a footnote, isn't it odd that the Packers are claiming that Favre isn't good enough to be their starter, but are deathly afraid of him joining another team in their division? That cracks me up.
