Just when you thought the Brett Favre saga couldn’t get any weirder, Newt Gingrich entered the ring with a plea to the Packers to bring back the ol’ Gunslinger. You can watch video — where else? — on Greta Van Susteren’s web site. Deadspin has done us the kind service of finding a more substantial [...]

Two brothers from Milwaukee have set up a Web site and held the first of what they claim will be weekly rallies outside of Lambeau Field to try to persuade the Green Bay Packers to bring back quarterback Brett Favre . About 200 people showed up, a laughable demonstration, true enough. But laugh at your peril. This could be all of us, sooner rather than later according to Philadelphia ...

The Packers agree to bring Favre back, if he agrees to wear this hat to every press conference of the season.

To maximize ratings, FOX news split the interview and part two should be on tomorrow night, so more stuff then. I want the team to work out what they need to do and bring Favre back.

One of my favorite expressions of all time is "This may not mark the end of civilization as we know it, but you can definitely see it from here." Never has a saying been more appropriate for a story than this one. It seems that a group of Wisconsinites, who've been sucking on the Brett Favre teat for years, can't ween themselves from the old gunslinger. And as a result, ...

That's the next question to be answered. According to ESPN's Chris Mortenson, QB Brett Favre has written a letter asking for his unconditional release .
