Lions coach Rod Marinelli has no interest in talking about the Brett Favre situation.
One general manager told Peter King of Ted Thompson, “Ted’s got no choice. If he doesn’t take Favre back, he’s an idiot.”

The Bengals’ training camp schedule is hampered by an NFL rule that prohibits teams from reporting to training camp more than 15 days prior to their first preseason game.

Not surprising that Peter King would say that. His man-crush on Brett Favre is well known. The guy is like a schoolgirl swooning over him. Peter King’s MMQB is the NFL’s version of The View. It is great though if you want to find out about his daughter’s field hockey team and Starbucks. Otherwise, it is best read by skimming through it and only reading the parts that actually interests you. Typically it is no more than a paragraph or two.

Can anyone blame the Bengals for wanting to get their guys off the street and into camp as soon as possible? The NFL needs to look the other way just like with the “contact” in a the OTA’s…

Not suprising this blog would note a one-liner that supports Favre’s silly comeback and no links to anyone else who would disagree.
It was annoying when PFT was pro-patriots and pro-spygate the last few months. It was like the whole site wears its opinions on its sleeve. Now we’re seeing it with this Brett Favre non-sense.
The age of the objective media is over.

Rod Marinelli should want to talk about the Favre situation. It gives him something to run his gums about other than the dismal situation in Detroit where the franchise is truly screwed from the top down.
