Hello,

To Favre or not to Favre?  Didn't he retire a few months ago?  I didn't see anyone twisting his arm back then.  

If I retired and WMTV replaced me, I would have no right to do what Favre is doing right now.  Why should WMTV take me back if they already replaced me?  

Favre is a good quarterback, I know that.  But it was his decision to retire.  I am aware that the GM and Farve have had their differences, but Favre wanted out.  Correct?

This is just a big distraction from the rest of the team and a new season.  It is really unfair to his team.  I can image they are probably not pleased with this mess (see story below).

Actually, I think this is all a big ploy with money at the root of it.  I bet he will be traded.  Favre will be laughing all the way to Minnesota.  Watch.

What are your views?

Here's the story that crossed today...

Brett Favre will be reinstated and added to the Green Bay Packers' active roster Monday.

The NFL announced the move Sunday after commissioner Roger Goodell had held off on granting Favre's request for reinstatement for nearly a week, hoping Favre and the team could resolve their standoff. By reinstating Favre, Goodell is following through on a recent promise to force action.

The reinstatement will become effective at 1 p.m. EDT on Monday.

Favre's agent, James "Bus" Cook, confirmed that Favre plans to fly to Green Bay on Sunday and report to the Packers on Monday.

"That's the plan," Cook said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Sunday.

Favre could be on the field as early as Tuesday.

Favre retired in March but has been having second thoughts. Team officials have insisted they are moving on with Aaron Rodgers, though, causing tensions to rise between Favre and the team.

It is not clear whether Favre's reinstatement indicates that he has rejected a long-term, multimillion-dollar marketing agreement offered by the team. Reinstatement could force the Packers to increase their offer to Favre in hopes that he remains retired and avoids turning their training camp into a media circus this week.

Team officials publicly have ruled out releasing Favre, fearing he would immediately sign with division rival Minnesota. The Packers could still also trade him.
