Ethan: Am I the only person who thinks this Favre standoff is about enter a deadly end game that involves him walking around with a high-powered rifle, smiling his fake “Aw, shucks” grin while picking off random members of the Packers’ front office while John Madden gushes about his enthusiasm?

“Green. Tampa. I’ll play in literally ANY Bay.”

Amir: Every day brings a completely new twist. And on days that there are no twists, that’s the twist. BREAKING NEWS: RELATIVELY QUIET DAY AT PACKER CAMP.

Ethan: Did he think he was being particularly clever by showing up and conceding the starting job to Rodgers? “Yeah, I’ll be the backup. You don’t have to release me or anything. Now, about that $12 million…”

Amir: Favre lives in some sort of bizarro world where work is inversely proportional to money. If he stays retired, he’ll get $25M. If he plays as a back up he’ll get $12M. And his ideal situation is starting somewhere and getting paid less than that. It’s like welfare on steroids.

Ethan: I thought welfare on steroids was Sammy Sosa’s contract by the end of his career. I’m warming on the idea of Favre to the Jets. They’re really just one Hall of Famer away from being 7-9!

Amir: Bring back Curtis Martin!

Ethan: What exactly is Favre even thinking at this point? Does he want to play with Jerricho Cotchery that badly? Or does Favre have him in a keeper league he really, really wants to win this year? Or will he just follow Bubba Franks anywhere?

Amir: I think he just wants to get injured. He’s done everything but tear an ACL. Why does Daunte Culpepper get all the fun?!

Ethan: If this results in Favre getting his roll on, it will all have been worth it. Does Tampa Bay win the Super Bowl with him?
