LOL- $10 million and a shot at hitting a few more records that he's pretty close to and that it'll only take one more season to reach.... I think he'll be back for one more year. He's not the problem. The problem is that he's playing on a team that's been tossed together after about a million injuries- he has a 3rd (or 5th) string rookie team to work with. Next year a lot of the guys will be healthy again and they can start fresh. He'll never play for another team, but I don't see him going out yet. Then again, he did say it comes down to whether he's having fun playing and I don't think 3-15 (yeah, like they'll win next week....) is probably a lot of fun for him. He's frustrated.

LOL Kaili! Now your thinking like a Bears fan! Funny thing about the injury bug is that once it starts, it has a way of coming back year after year. At this years pace, several of those records are 2 years away. Can the Bears and Packers ever be good at the same time? Both bad, Yes, but never both good. BTW, that's not my $10 million above, that's the salary cap hit (actually greater since his remaining pro-rated signing bonus would also count against the cap) the Packers will take if Favre retires. At that price, they should at least keep him to see if the players do come back from injury.

It sounds like Ted Thompson doesn't want him there any more. there was a lot of talk on his website forums yesterday about a rumor that he was going to announce his retirement last night at his press conference. He didn't... but yesterday ws also his wife's birthday. There's so much talk for the last few years in the media that it's hard to say how much is speculation, but Thompson wants to start his rebuilding. You can see the frantic, panicy posts over at his site- http://www.officialbrettfavre.com/ It's fun to read there- they have a question section for him and he posts from time to time answering fans questions but mostlysilly ones like what his favorite ice cream is.

Oh...and little Gado should be okay by next year. We all love him. It doesn't take much to make Packers fans happy this year. But come on, Sanders couldn't hold the ball right for Longwell, then he got hurt and we have a guy who 2 weeks ago was a bartender! And Longwell missed some easy, close ones last week that he would never have missed last season. Longwell had always been a great kicker until he got a new holder this year and look at him not. He'll be leaving Green Bay this off season. I'm pretty sure of that.

Sherman Fired Well, that pretty much sealed the deal....Brett won't come back if Sherman is gone. Maybe if we got Steve Mariucchi.... They're buddies.

What's going to happen to Sean Taylor, the Redskin who spit at Michael Pittman yesterday? If Joe Gibbs is really the classy coach everyone says he is, he should bench him and not wait for the NFL "to rule on the matter." Maybe he can get on whatever team Marcus Vick is going to be playing for next year. And let Bill Romonowski join them. They'd be a match made in heaven.

Who gets Vince! Houston is his hometown and the PR would be great, but they have a good quarterback and Bush could be a franchise running back. They will take him. NO has already said they will take Matt Linehart. Don't think they are going to change their minds unless Houston should take Vince and Bush was available. Then they would take Bush. Tennessee will take him. Their quarterback, Steve McNair is nearing retirement. Think this would be great for Vince. He could be schooled behind one of the greatest passers of all time and get a little seasoning and experience before he becomes the MAN. Good luck, Vince, where ever you go.

I don't think Taylor will be benched if he apologizes. What he did was bad, but it is not like he was out to hurt someone. It was a spur of the moment, high tension kind of reaction. Very out of line, but a lot worse has not resulted in a benching. It will be a hefty fine. And this comes from a Cowboy fan who usually has no sympathy for a Redskin. LOL

Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was fined $17,000 for spitting in the face of Michael Pittman during Saturday's 17-10 wild-card win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The fine is equivalent to Taylor's game check for the wild-card game. <more>

Sorry, but I don't think that fine against Taylor is sufficient at all--and I have no position one way or another about the Redskins (unless they are playing the Eagles). When a player spits in another player's face, he should be thrown out of the game and suspended, as far as I'm concerned. And I think an "upstanding" and "moral" coach like Gibbs should take it upon himself to do it if the league won't. Instead, I saw him on SportsCenter talking about how they need him blah blah blah. Some things come before winning, even in the NFL. Like basic human decency.

Michael Wilbon agrees with you. He's up in arms about the leniency of the penalty. He says that if the league can fine Clinton Portis $20,000 for wearing the wrong socks and a tinted visor they can do better than this. Especially since this is not the first time that he's spat in an opposing players face. This kid has a very bad rep in the league among players already as a late hitter and head hunter.

The Packers are rumored to be taking Lindale White if he's available at #5. I interviewed for the head coaching job today.
