Excerpted from the St. Paul Sentinel:

An anonymous source close to the team said both Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels were witnessed by coaches throwing skittles and other bite-sized candies at the back of Brett Favre’s head during the new quarterback’s first film session with the team.

“It was pretty sophomoric,” said the source.  “Every time Favre would turn around to see who had thrown the candy the two of them would look away and whistle.”

“It continued until one of them belted Favre with a Jawbreaker and then quarterbacks coach Kevin Rogers finally put an end to it.”

“To be honest, having seen the two backups play before, we all were a little surprised at how accurate they were.”

Excerpted from the Chicago Daily Gazette Leader:

One unnamed safety for the Green Bay Packers could hardly contain his glee at the prospect of Favre signing for the Minnesota Vikings.

“It would be fantastic.  There’s no other way of putting it.  I’m in a contract year and this could mean a lot to me.  Agents and statisticians have quantified what each interception is worth to a starting safety with my experience.  Want to know what it is?”

“$93, 473.   And you can imagine how loose Favre’s going to be with the ball, during what would have to be his last go around.”

“Conservatively, the minute he signs on the dotted line, I’ve got two INTs in the bag.  It’s going to be great.”
