Status: offline 		Another thing no one is talking about: if I were a Packers season-ticket holder, I'd cancel immediately.  A team that's willing to pay someone $20 million to stay home is a team that takes its fan base for granted.  Where is that money supposed to come from?  More Brett Favre t-shirts?

The report states that it is for marketing purposes and to keep Brett involved with the Pakers over the next ten years.Murphy was already on the plane to Mississippi when Farve faxed in his reinstatment papers, and the press picked up on it and reported that they wanted to pay him to stay retired.

Is either the complete truth? Probably not, I suspect it is a combination of both, like most everything else that has been reported so far. Tune in tomorrow for the next story ov the saga......same Brett time, same Brett channel.

If he leads them to a SB victory, his name will become legendary.
 
If not, I think a lot of people will see it as him putting his ego above the team, and retarding Rogers development.
 
Personally, I like Favre, and hope he does well (just not better than Dallas).
