The Friscalating Dusklight: Will Favre come back?
Posted on July 2nd, 2008 – 4:24 PMBy Michael Rand
All apologies for the shortened day. We had hoped to get a bunch of posts into the hopper before an afternoon out of the office (the next Good Sports will be tremendous), but the Interwebs problem earlier today derailed that. Strangely, it seems that whenever we leave for a while, there is a new Brett Favre rumbling. And that’s what we leave you with on this abbreviated day: Chris Mortenson’s very serious and completely unsurprising Favre report:
With his family “tugging” on him to play, Brett Favre has an “itch” to come out of retirement and report to training camp with the Green Bay Packers later this month, according to sources close to the team and player.
Favre has communicated his potential desire to coach Mike McCarthy but talks have not advanced to a substantive stage, a Packers source said.
The source said the Packers would be reluctant to open the door for Favre because “Brett retired for the right reasons, even though I know his family is tugging on him [to play].”
Another source conceded Favre was “getting the itch” to play football in 2008.
This will never end. P3, where are you when we need you?

With so much tugging and itching, I would have thought this story was about one of Joker’s trysts…
Brett: if you’re experiencing all that tugging and itching, might I suggest Valtrex instead?
Yeah, I knew I wasn’t going to be the first one with a tug/itch joke. Damn stubby fingers.
Let me be (among) the first to invite Brett Favre to suck one.
Stu-
I enjoyed your “WHERE IS RAND” odds in the last post (looks like The Field won). Any chance you can call a sportsbook and post the odds for “WHERE’S P3?”
Wallowing in self pity: EVEN ODDS
The little lady is already sick of Brett sitting in front of the TV all day?
WHERE’S P3? THE ODDS:
Berating a figure of authority: 2-1
Berating God or other deity: 3-1
Berating person working the Wendy’s drive-thru about their handmade shakes clearly being made by machines: 3-2
Berating self in mirror: 4-1
Berating imaginary friend Luther, who keeps taking his stuff: 6-1
Stu - there’s at least a long shot that P3 could be fishing in spandex shorts. We’ve seen the photos.
Stop saying P3!! He’s like Bloody Mary or the Candy Man- say his name too many times and he jumps out of your monitor in bike shorts and starts ranting incoherently at you. (He doesn’t kill you, as that would be too merciful.)
I’m bak !!! Went out west for awhile until the law cooled behind me. Favre ? He surely doesn’t need his family “tugging’ at him to play. His “itch” (not responding to Cruex) never went away. Gotta remember (except for one playoff memorable airball) he had a pretty good season last year..a tad better than TRex for the Vikes for sure, so why not come back ? People wanting him to stay retired (read that as Minnesota) simply are tired of getting their purple butts kicked by him. Those fans should really thus be green in color as in jealous of the Pack Attak !!
As for Cootie above, I’m a lttle concerned that you still remember a bike shorts pic from months back. Sexual confusion perhaps ?
looked pretty good in those shorts, don’t you think, AZ ?
IT…IS…ALIVE.
While I love Favre, it’s time for Rodgers. Maybe Favre can give Rodgers his “itch” if ya know what I’m sayin’.
Rodgers looked decent in the last game against the Cowboys, but decent doesn’t win in this league. In fact, decent doesn’t win anywhere except maybe with girlfriends, and I’m not even sure there
Well, that Pandora’s box has been blown wide open…
I heart P3
This is what I was trying to link to:
Dave, after 2 weeks canoeing and fishing in the Everglades, my little toes looked a lot like your hyperlinked corn products. I spent good money getting rid of that infection never knowing I could have sucked my toes for their nutritive value.
Anyone else using FF3 here and is experiencing a lack of formatting?

I don’t know, every time I play Final Fantasy 3 it seems to format alright.
/shows nerdy self out
Nathan:
Yes on FF3, no problem with formatting.
Ah, Dave, thank you for reminding me of the most disturbing edition of “Steve Don’t Eat It!” ever. So. Very. Gross.
Nathan: same problems you’re having. Matthew, any advice?
Yes, Stu: feeding the kids chocolate doughnuts after 4pm is a bad idea if you want them to have a normal bedtime. Learned that one again the hard way last night.
No clue on the FF3.
I’m on FF3 and not having problems. Did you force a no-cache reload? (ctrl-shift-R)
Yeah, but it’s still not helping. It’s fine on IE7 though.
Hearing about Favre’s rumors of his Second Coming and all the inane talk of Rodger’s “potential” (since if you don’t at least have potential in this game, what do you have), I searched and found in the archives of necrology.com (possibly another rumor) that the only truly professional Mr. Rogers wants to trade in his funky sweater (can you say gamy)and emerge once more into the land of the living.
It seems all those years talking so whiningly softly like some Pint sized Garrison Geillor really bummed him out !! All along he’s wanted to seriously bust the big guy but couldn’t or lose his kiddie poo moneys. Now he wants to play the man’s game (and has some decent white boy speed to boot being only skin and bones)
Anyway, he was a proven product, T Jack man and Rodgers are simply potentials. P3 ? he is beyond the scope to discuss that in these little boxes. Disappearing like a breeze anytime of day and reappearing at night.
I have more pics Az., one jumping off a bridge into a Seattle Washington lake. Luckily, my cheapo camera made the shot a little blurry or my “proven” all too obvious manly skills would have been too evident to print here…Hardehar
