King has been told that HC Mike McCarthy recently told Favre by phone that he would put the Packers in a tough spot by reneging on his March 6 retirement. Which Favre understands. But King added: "I don't think it's going to stop him from doing what his body tells him to do -- play football again. ..." Stay tuned.
