Corey and I will be breaking down all things Packers tonight at the impossibly glamorous Cheesehead TV studios. (Seriously, the Craft Services alone are enough to make you think you’re on the set of a big budget Hollywood film.) If you would care to add your two cents about anything at all regarding the world of the Green Bay Packers, call our podcast hotline at 646-797-2909.

• No Podcast This Week

In honor of Thursday, and keeping it real, I’m not really going to say much of consequence about the Packers. Oh sure, I could opine on the fact that Josh Sitton seems to have retained his starting job at right guard, or that A.J. Hawk has a mysterious injury, or even that Johnny Jolly is picking fights with really respected veterans. But that would be easy. Besides, every Packer blog I’ve read today has covered these stories amply.

I think I’ll take the easy way out and highlight this hilarious bit buried in Greg Easterbrook’s latest Tuesday Morning Quarterback.

Cheers:

If Favre can retire then nonretire every year, why not every week? Below is a weekly agenda for the Jets’ season:Sunday immediately following game: Favre tells reporters he’s “considering” retirement. Says he will come back if all networks agree that cameras will show no player except him.

Monday morning: Favre’s agent says client feels “not appreciated” because New York City has not been renamed Brettopolis. Holds tearful farewell news conference, says “I would never go back on my word unless there was something in it for me.” Thanks teammates for not coming between him and cameras. Returns to Mississippi.

Monday evening: Hosts vigil in Hattiesburg tent. Tells Oak Grove High School players, “Always be a self-sacrificing team player.”

Tuesday morning: Invites hundreds of reporters and cameramen to his farm to see him happily working the land.

Tuesday lunchtime. Tires of working the land.

Wednesday morning. Calls ESPN, New York Times to plant comeback rumor.

Wednesday afternoon. Calls ESPN, New York Times to deny comeback rumor.

Thursday morning. Demands immediate reinstatement. Grants “exclusive” interviews to ESPN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NFLN, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, Fox College Sports/Pacific, CSPAN-2, Planet Green, Oxygen, Toon, Home Preview Channel, HBO Signature HD, SOAPNet, Canal Plus and the MHz4 Nigerian TV Authority.

Thursday evening. Demands New Jersey annex Delaware and give it to him, also demands USM change its sports nickname to the Golden Fours. United States Senate stages all-night emergency session to debate Favre return.

Friday morning. Congress offers $600 billion bailout if Favre returns. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid explains, “We don’t care who gets the bailout, we just like to give away borrowed money. Hey Nancy, they want more. OK, $800 billion.”

Friday afternoon. United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon flies to Hattiesburg in the space shuttle to accompany Favre on his return to New Jersey. Manhattan casting agency hires hundreds of extras to pretend to be adoring Favre fans at arrival.

Saturday morning. Favre attends walk-through, disabled children allowed to touch his garments.

Sunday morning. All other players’ names removed from program in order to print Brett Favre in 72-point type across every page. Governor of New Jersey washes Favre’s feet during player introductions.

Postgame: Favre hints game may have been his last.

According to a source quoted at the Green Bay Press Gazette.

A “bidding war” is going on between the New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to obtain the veteran quarterback, according to a source close to the situation. And that could be causing the hold-up.

Yes, Thompson is in heaven.
