INDIANAPOLIS -- And while we're updating stuff, the latest from the Brett Favre Network (BNN): Apparently Brett is not going to show up at the Packers camp after all.
This after the Packers have told him in every possible way that they don't want him there.
I still find it utterly amazing that the Packers are treating one of the greatest players in their history like a communicable disease, less than six months after he nearly led them to the Super Bowl. I know the guy's a pain. I know he's played these retire-or-not games with them before. I know he makes the Packers brass want to pull their hair out ... or maybe his.
But, still. He's Brett Favre, not a disposable lighter. How can you be so eager to turn the keys over to Aaron Rodgers that you're essentially tell No. 4 that he's dead to you?

Ben,
If you quit your job and the paper hired a new sportswriter to take your place and then, after a few months, you decided you might still like to write. Would the paper hire you back? What happens to the new guy?
I'm just saying...

Well, if I'd won them a Pulitzer or two (fat chance), yeah, I think they'd probably find a spot for me ...
