Picking up where Sooze, Andrew and Scott left off, we have some more Brett Favre goodness to discuss.
Apparently, EC is becoming your one-stop shop for all things Favre; however, when I was tipped about this upcoming topic by Andrew Graham, I just had to post. As the Favre story progresses, there are two distinct trains of thought from Packers fans:
1. Fully support the idea of the Packers front office bringing him back, so much so, it's turned into a burning desire waiting for the Return of the Favre.
2. This party is more like, "Hey Brett, quit the prima donna/needy bullshit and stop holding Packers fans hostage!" This point of view was expressed very well a couple of days ago right here at EC.
However, in spite of all the trade talks and the "please release me" cries from Favre, the Packers fans who want Ted Thompson to bite the bullet and bring Brett back have decided to remain silent no longer, thanks to the Bring Back Brett Favre campaign.
Here's the idea:As long as Favre gives Green Bay the better chance to win this year he should be the QB…and I’ll take the all-time leader in touchdowns over an unproven rookie any day. Last year we were one win away from the Super Bowl….we won’t make it there with a rookie but we could in 08 with Favre.
Ted Thompson will hear from us if Brett isn’t the starting quarterback. If 5,000 people join in support of Favre, we will send 2 pieces of American Cheese to Ted Thompson. 2 American singles should fit conveniently into a normal envelop.
That has to be one of the most interesting protests I've witnessed. The mentality is this -- "Damn the petitions, let's send this bastard some cheese just so he knows who he's messing with."
Obviously, hell hath no fury like a Packers fan scorned.
If you feel like Ted Thompson let you down and you want to blast him with slices of stale cheese (I hope it has cheddar in it) that's been through the US Postal Service ringer, you now have such an outlet. Conversely, I wonder what recourse those who are tried of Farve's act have besides burning him in effigy...
Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Well he's been teeter tottering about this for a whiile, maybe he just likes the attention. Whenever he falls out of the limelight this is what he does. He's cried wolf too many times to get my hopes up.
After you're done wasting food, petition Webster's for a new term for the dictionary.
Favre (n.): self-centered end-of-career dithering that makes everyone forget your career. Ex.: "NBC was so afraid of Jay Leno pulling a Favre, they cut him when he still had the largest late night audience."
That's right, Ted Thompson. As you enjoy . . . a delicious grilled cheese sandwich . . . uh . . . maybe you'll . . . this wasn't very well thought out, was it?
