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?
