Peter King still loves Brett Favre

Sports Illustrated's Peter King says Brett Favre's top choice would be the Minnesota Vikings. He goes on to say: "Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson may have mishandled this entire affair by being out of touch with (Favre's agent Bus) Cook and virtually unreachable to Favre during the last three months." Thompson mishandled it? Thompson?!?!?!? What about Brett Stinkin' Favre?!?!?! Favre's the one who said he was retiring. Geez.
Other Favre news:

Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Aaron Rodgers is the team's starting QB. And Thompson doesn't rule out Favre's return to the team.

One of the best takes on Favre is done by one the best young NFL beat guys, Erik Boland of Newsday. Boland covers the New York Jets. He wrote a column about it, but in his blog he condenses the info. He wrote: "The point is Favre, while in control of his situation to an extent, isn't in total control of it. Nor are the Packers. This divorce could get messy, but don't they always." He mentions the usual stuff that will have an effect on where Favre lands (like where Favre wants to go, like where the Packers don't want him to go), but Boland also mentions Favre's contract -- which, Boland writes, "would call for a $12.8-million hit against any team's salary cap for this season."

The Dallas Morning News' Rick Gosselin says Favre should reconsider and stay retired.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner knows how Brett Favre feels, according to columnist Jeff Gordon of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
