Report says he’s moved up deadline

Updated: 07/21/2009 10:09:45 AM CDT

Favre provided a self-imposed deadline of July 30 in an interview with the Associated Press last week. But NFL.com reported today that “those closest to Favre” expect him to make a decision by Friday.

The report suggested Favre would make a decision sooner if it involved a franchise closer to his home in Hattiesburg, Miss., — mentioning the New Orleans Saints — and that he would have said yes already if a regular-season game were to be played in two weeks.

The NFL.com report said Favre is trying to determine whether his surgically repaired arm can withstand the entire season and whether he wants to endure another training camp and preseason.

Favre continues to work out with the players at Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg. A reporter for the Hattiesburg American newspaper estimated that 95 percent of the 50 or so passes Favre attempted on Friday were “spot on,” with “plenty of zip.” The reporter added that Favre was hitting the high school receivers in stride.

**** *****As George Costanza said, “You wanna get nuts, let’s get nuts!”  What do I mean by this?   Brett has went nuts, or “his people” are nuts, but that is really splitting hairs.  Why?  Why?  Why?   Well I’ll lay it out to you…

1.  I would make a decision sooner if the franchise was closer?  What the h-lon-stevens does that mean?  Boy, if my job was in the same town I lived in… whew, that’s a no brainer friend.  huh?   Boy if Drew Brees got hurt, now that’s an opportunity!?  WHAT?   

2.  If games were two weeks away, yeah sure.   But this whole practice thing and pre-season games who needs em?  I mean I have the most interceptions in NFL history, I’ll just keep wingin’ it.  Right Brett?  Huh?

3.  Sidebar… It would be cool to be the high school wide recievers, I bet there are a few pumped up kids every morning.  Yeah, I’m going to catch balls with a QB legend as Chris Mortensen watches me.   “I am huge mom!  HUGE!”… I bet all these high schools guys now have cute college girlfriends. 

3a. Sidbar II.  And my high school QB Chad Cook  had “plenty of zip” and hit our WR’s Matt Seiser and Shawn “Schneidz” Schneider in stride in July throw around practice.  The guy looked like, well Brett Favre, without pads on and without even practice conditions.  So whatevah.
