I think Stuck meant if Favre came back to to the Packers, the Packers' fans would forgive him for "faking" his retirement.
That said, the dude needs to stay retired. I'm sure he could have 2 more decent seasons, but he needs to know when to hang up the cleats. Of course, the great ones rarely do.

Not happening.
If Favre sits this year out, and then decides at age 40 to play one more season...then although far-fetched, it is conceivable.
But there's a 0% chance Favre plays anywhere this season.

I think he has wanted for some time to play for another team, and I hope he gets his wish. The Green Bay management didn't want to be crucified by the fans for trading him, and Favre couldn't say he wanted to play elsewhere, but at this point maybe he will have a chance to play somewhere else and get reenergized by new surroundings, new fans, and a new team.
I wish him the best.

I don't think Philadelphia is trading McNabb. Kolb is the future, but Andy Reid I know would be totally comfortable letting him sit 3-4 seasons on the bench before moving McNabb.
On the same note, if the Bears offered their first round pick PLUS more, or just a ridiculous deal for a 31 year old QB, I think Philadelphia is no longer tied to McNabb beyond impossibility of a trade. But it would have to be a deal that the Bears would clearly lose, even if McNabb had his best season in 4 years.
Since that isn't happening, McNabb will be Philly's QB in 2008, and probably 2009 also. After that, he's probably no longer the best QB on his own roster, so at age 33, he could be released.

No chance of it happening. Favre's agent is completely dismissing the idea.
What is this, an extended April Fool's Day?

Thinking about it I doubt that Favre returns. Honestly, his legacy is written.
But if it were true, of course his agent is going to publically deny the inquiries. If he admitted it, then he admits that any team he has spoken to was involved in tampering since Green Bay owns the rights to Favre and he does not have the teams permission to speak to other teams.
Agents cannot "inquire" on behalf of thier client without the teams permission.
