			<description><![CDATA[ GREEN BAY -- Brett Favre stuck to the script, declining to address his public rift with the Green Bay Packers in an appearance at Lambeau Field on Saturday.  In town to present former teammate Frank Winters for induction into the Packers&#39; Hall of Fame at a banquet Saturday night, Favre briefly spoke with reporters about his former center&#39;s career before abruptly stepping off the stage and ducking out a side door.  But Favre did pause to praise ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ MINNEAPOLIS --&nbsp;The Minnesota Vikings took a different stance on Thursday in what has become the story of the summer in the NFL: They decided NOT to talk about Brett Favre.  The Vikings said Thursday they would not comment on allegations by the Green Bay Packers that they made inappropriate contact with Favre before or during the three-time MVP&#39;s effort to un-retire.  &quot;The Vikings are not commenting on the issue.

			<description><![CDATA[ Brett Favre is guaranteed a presence at Lambeau Field on the night the Packers are scheduled to retire his jersey, even if his messy spat with management&nbsp; leaves him far from Green Bay on Sept. 8.  In an awkward twist, the face of the franchise for the last 16 years also has his face prominently displayed on the ticket for the season opener against Minnesota on Monday Night Football.  Tickets for the other home games pay homage ... ]]></description>

Packers&#39; training camp just to call the team&#39;s &quot;bluff.&quot; In the
second part of an interview with Fox News, the 38-year-old quarterback
said he knows his arrival in camp would cause a media circus. Packers
players are scheduled to report July 27.  &quot;It&#39;s tempting just to,
as everyone said, you know, call their bluff or whatever,&quot; Favre said.

			<description><![CDATA[ BREAKING NEWS.  BREAKING NEWS.  Greta Van Susteren interviews Green Bay Packers quarterback.  My reaction might have been similar to yours. My reaction, in fact, was similar to Pat Healy&#39;s reaction in the 1998 movie, &quot;There&#39;s Something about Mary.&#39;&#39;  Healy (Matt Dillon) was reacting to Mary Jensen (Cameron Diaz) seeing someone else.  &quot;What the hell is Brett Favre doing here?&#39;&#39; Healy posed.  Exactly. What the hell was Brett Favre doing on Fox News? I thought it was a fair and balanced question ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Brett Favre&#39;s fans came to his defense Sunday, rallying outside Lambeau Field to pressure the Green Bay Packers to reinstate him as the starting quarterback.  The crowd of more than 100 chanted &quot;We want Brett,&quot; and carried signs reading, &quot;Favre for President&quot; or &quot;Favre Forever.&quot; Many in the parking lot wore No. 4 jerseys, tossed footballs and grilled.  &quot;We&#39;ve always appreciated the passion of our fans,&quot; the Packers said in a statement.

			<description><![CDATA[ GREEN BAY -- The last thing Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy want to do is engage in a public shouting match with Brett Favre, even after the three-time MVP put the team in a tough spot by changing his mind on retirement and demanding a release from his contract just weeks before training camp.  But by detailing Favre&#39;s dizzying decision-making process this offseason, Thompson and McCarthy hope Packers fans will ... ]]></description>

The rest of the country got a bit teary-eyed, too, and who could blame us?  His storybook run to the Super Bowl may have come up just short, but Favre had given us one last great season to remember.
