Naw, Mark's wisely stayed out of this because it's really a no-win for him. Let Thompson take the heat from fans for being the guy who either forced out a legend or traded him.

That's why they won't just release him. No way will they let Favre go to Minnesota or Chicago.

>From my midwest trip this summer, buzz seems to be that there's a lot more going on behind clubhouse doors there - though I doubt how they could force him out. All Favre had to say was that he was coming back another year and the Cheesehead mob would support him no matter what Thompson wanted.

Whatever the case, Murphy walked in on it afterwards and really can't win by saying anything.

GO CATS!!!
