GREEN BAY If Brett Favre's comments about the Green Bay Packers in the first half of his interview with Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren didn't burn whatever bridge remained between the legendary quarterback and the organization, his comments that didn't air Tuesday night during Part II of the interview certainly will [surely] make matters worse.

The second half of Van Susteren's interview with Favre was shortened apparently due to other breaking news during Tuesday night's edition of "On The Record."

Van Susteren had said in an interview earlier Tuesday that the full interview, which she taped Monday morning at agent James "Bus" Cook's Mississippi office, was 45 minutes long.

In the portion that aired, Favre said he's tempted to apply for reinstatement from the reserve/retired list and report to the Packers' training camp on July 27, just to call Thompson's "bluff."

Favre also told Van Susteren he is now 100 percent committed to playing this year.

"(But) I very well might not play (because of) the circumstances," Favre said.

Asked by Van Susteren if being a backup as the Packers have suggested is unacceptable to him, Favre replied, "I think so. I've had a lot of people (say), 'Go back and hold them to it.' I don't see it that way. It's tempting just to because everyone's (saying), 'Call their bluff' or whatever. I think it's going to be a circus in itself already, whether I go there (or not). ... I don't want to make it any worse than it is.

"Do I play somewhere else? (That) remains to be seen. But I don't want to go back there just to stick it to 'em."

Favre also acknowledged that a trade "may be our only option," but said he couldn't trust the Packers to be actively trying to send him elsewhere. Asked about playing for the Minnesota Vikings Van Susteren referred to the team as "Minneapolis" Favre said,

"I've never envisioned that. I've heard all the talk like everyone else. It's hard not to.

"I don't know if other teams would make a play for me. ... It may not work out. But we won't know unless we're released. And how am I supposed to trust that they're working on a trade after the things that have been told to me in the past? Teams may have called and said, 'Hey, we're interested.' They may never tell us. And the longer this goes on, the less likely I am to play for someone because of the time factor." [url=index.php?name=Pro_News&aid=65]Read More...[/url].

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
