After doing my daily dose of reading ESPN and listening to the radio, I get the feeling No. 4 isn't going to be in Green Bay much longer. Favre and head coach Mike McCarthy met last last for multiple hours discussing Favre's future and what the flight from Mississippi was like. Mike Greenberg made a great point today. Favre doesn't want to be a distraction and Green Bay doesn't want one. Favre wants to go to Minnesota but Green Bay doesn't want to trade him there. So who gives first? How long will Favre hold a clipboard before he breaks and becomes an even bigger distraction and how long until Green Bay cracks?
My guess is that Favre isn't wearing a Green Bay uniform for much longer. At some point McCarthy and the rest of the management has to come to a sound decision and either get rid of Favre or open up the quarterback competition for real (which would go back on everything they have said since Favre first scratched his itch and be more hypocritical than when Bobby Knight joined ESPN.
I think Favre will be donning another jersey by the end of this week/start of next week. Many disagree and say he'll eventually cave in and go back to Mississippi where he has mastered the art of throwing passes to high school wideouts. But the circus usually only lasts about a week, and we are officially in Day Two of Favre in Green Bay.
