The Facts:
The Packers on Tuesday night sent team president and CEO Mark Murphy on a private plane to visit Favre in Mississippi in an attempt to persuade the QB to stay home rather than report to training camp this week. A source told the Press-Gazette that Murphy will meet Wednesday morning with Favre and his agent, Bus Cook. "They're asking him not to come up there," the source said. "They don't want him up there."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Favre faxed the NFL on Tuesday requesting reinstatement, and an NFL spokesman said Commissioner Roger Goodell won't act on the request until Wednesday. Goodell apparently wanted to give the sides another day to come to some sort of agreement before reinstating Favre. As the Press-Gazette suggests, it's unclear what Murphy can do or offer to entice Favre to not show up. If Murphy's mission fails, GM Ted Thompson will have to determine the least objectionable course for handling the quarterback's return to the NFL.
