Via Peter King: “Rodgers’ year, by most or all measures, is a better one than Brett Favre had in any of his three MVP years, 1995, ’96 and ’97. Favre was, in touchdown-to-interception ratio, 38-13, 39-13 and 35-16, and Rodgers’ completion percentage, yards and rating this year were better than in any of Favre’s three years.” So, yeah, taking Rodgers with the 24th pick in 2005 is looking pretty smart right about now.

According to ESPN, if the quarterbackless Chicago Bears made a pitch to the retired Brett Favre, Favre “would listen.” The good news: “The Bears haven’t contacted the 42-year-old Favre, who has spent a good portion of his recent days hunting, and it’s highly doubtful the team is interested.” If indeed the Bears add a QB, we think Donovan McNabb is the better (and less distracting) choice.

Aaron Rodgers is really, really good. He was brilliant last year in leading the Packers to a Super Bowl title – really, he’s been terrific the entire time he’s been the Packers’ starter – and so far, 2011 is shaping up as his best year yet. Through four games he’s got 12 touchdowns against two interceptions, has completed 73 percent of his passes, and has also run for two scores. It’s hard to play quarterback much better than Rodgers is playing it…and based on some recent comments, we’re not so sure how much the man Rodgers replaced in Green Bay, Brett Favre, enjoys that fact.

…as a college football color analyst, but still. Brett’s BACK, BABY! We’ve all been waiting for this from the moment the Vikings’ disappointing 2010 season wrapped up. We’ve held out hope through every rumor, whether joking or not, that we might keep Brett in our lives another year. And Brett has finally answered that call.

Peyton Manning has a neck injury, and though he’d like to continue his consecutive games streak, it’s not certain he’ll be able to. The Colts, then, have to evaluate their other quarterbacking options, and you know what happens when NFL teams have uncertain QB situations…

The NFL lockout is ending, and yet all the media can talk about is Brett Favre. Here’s proof, with a sampling of references to Brett Favre on U.S. television over the course of five hours Monday morning.

For the fourth consecutive summer, rumors of a Brett Favre return to the NFL are popping up, only this year’s version has him returning as a back-up on a team where he might not even be the roster’s most famous quarterback.

What started as a wildly speculative piece on NFL.com about Brett Favre returning has quickly turned into something more.

The Brett Favre/Jenn Sterger saga returned to the news cycle this week, thanks to Sterger’s televised interviews…and the spot caused some to re-evaluate the story.

Here’s video of part one of ABC’s three part interview with Jenn Sterger, in which we learn… well, not a whole lot.
