Old Guy Dampens Packers Practice by Showing up and Pouting

Unbeknownst to most sports fans there is unrest amongst the Greenbay Packers NFL football team. Former Quaterback Brett Favre asked for and received reinstatement Sunday from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. No word yet on whether Favre's un-retirement will affect his subscription to AARP: The Magazine. Amid this historic reinstatement, rumors have been circulating that the Packers will be petitioning the league to allow Favre the use of a walker on the field deeming it "necessary equipment."

Favre initially announced his retirement at a teary press conference March 6th. Favre claimed that he wasn't crying, but had just finished cooking and eating his lunch of Liver and Onions.

"Damn, that shit was good."

Upon hearing the news of his reinstatement Favre immediately left the Bingo hall he had been calling home for the past couple of months and set his Tivo to record the I Love Lucy marathon he planned on watching. The Quarterback immediately got on the phone and has picked up endorsements from Polident, Depends, and Vitamins with Water.

This ruling puts Favre in the thick of the Packer Quarterback competition against Aaron Rodgers but forced him to pull out of another one. Favre was planning on running for Condo Board President at his new home at Del Boca Vista retirement community in Florida. His main competition was neighbor Jack Klompus who claimed he was "not surprised at that pretty boy."

"Sissy was afraid to go up against the champ."

The two neighbors were expected to go through years of paranoid hatred towards each other, but this is now in jeopardy.

Aaron Rodgers refused to comment.

"Either put the camera down and run a post or get out of here."

So that the offseason was not a total loss, the New York Jets, who were once rumored to have interest in acquiring Favre, shifted their focus towards another prospect. The Jets have devoted the remainder of their efforts to try to acquire wideout Elmo. Talks have stalled however, as he has recently received interest from the Chicago Bears and the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers for his reported "extreme dribbling skills." Elmo is expected to pick a team in the NFL and compete with Terrell Owens for most first person references of self during the season. Long time coach and confidant Grover reportedly feels "betrayed" as Elmo has signed with a separate agent. His new agent Snuffleupagus declined to comment.

"Elmo gonna wreck some defenses."
