Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That would put Favre in town in plenty of time to attend practice Friday; the first session begins at 8:45 a.m. Favre would have to go through a physical and running test, among other things -- and the NFL has yet to take action on his request for reinstatement from the reserve/retired list. We'll remind you that once the league reinstates Favre (ESPN and NFL Network both report that won't happen today), the Packers have another 24 hours to decide whether the release him or add him to the roster. At some point, you'd think the league would realize the Favre-palooza will cut into coverage of their own Hall of Fame weekend festivities. Whatever the case, Press-Gazette staffer Tom Pelissero put it best: "Put up the tent. The circus really is coming now."
