Very strange story about Brett Favre earlier today.
Apparently, the team's website listed a page that announced Favre had retired. Within a few minutes, the page was taken down, but not before a bunch of people had noticed.
"There's nothing to it," Packers spokesman Jeff Blumb told The Associated Press. "People who handle our Web site had set up a dummy page in the event he was to retire. They were asked to take down that page."
A call by The AP to Favre's agent, Bus Cook, was not immediately returned. Cook told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Favre, in his annual rite of winter, had not made up his mind whether to return for his 18th season. The three-time MVP's decision one way or the other is not expected this week.
