Today NFL Comissioner Roger Goodell officially reinstated Brett Favre back into the team, abiding by his effort to "force the issue."
I figured this was the commish forcing the issue and the Packers having to swallow it. But, the Packers team president has issued a statement today also:
“Although we built this year around the assumption that Brett meant what he said about retiring, Brett is coming back,” said team president and CEO Mark Murphy. “We will welcome him back and turn this situation to our advantage.”I must say, the Packers are acting very respectably in this situation. We still don't know what the team is going to do with him. Interestingly enough Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal is reporting from a team insider that Favre will be allowed to compete for the starting job with Aaron Rodgers.
I'll believe it when I see Brett Favre spiralling Aaron Rodgers down the field. I still think Brett, baby, should take that $20 mil. Especially if it's an upfront deal.
