Well...I said it...Jeff Garcia might be on the edge of his seat and really take back what he said. If we sign Favre, we might as well bring back OLD # 99 & 97 and really rock this for "OLD TIME SAKE!!!"

Gotta assume this means the Jets weren't getting it done (they received permission to talk to Brett yesterday). Make it happen, Bruce!!

Let's grab Favre AND Boldin who's unhappy in Arizona.Their QB situation is iffy and we have scores of em.This is what I would do
1. trade a 3rd or 3rd and player for Favre.
2. trade Garsizzler to Arizona where he would have a chance at the starting job (M.L. isnt who he was in college and K.W. wants alot of dough-could be a great place for sizzler.This would send Boldin to bucs-give em a pick also if needed(maybe pick it up from trading simms to DET of pick ?)maybe send Clayton to the desert for a fresh start....
3. start camp with Favre,griese and Luke.At WR- Joey,bryant and Boldin.
4.make plans for the superbowl....
Holy hell is this really happening ?!!?!!
