Brett Favre Flip-Flop

Giving 100 percent commitment to football is more than player cliché for the Green Bay Packers. It's also a pledge Packers management needed to hear from Brett Favre this offseason before embracing his return.

Instead, a source said Favre waited to make that vow until 104 days after he first indicated he had interest in retracting his retirement. By that time, Green Bay was headed down a different course, having anointed Aaron Rodgers its new starter. The franchise was reticent to backtrack, especially after Favre got cold feet about a comeback in late March.

Such waffling — and Favre's recent request to be released so he could pursue playing elsewhere — has left the Packers in a standoff with one of its most storied players...More?

Brand Split Still in Effect?

Can someone explain the brand split to me please? Since getting drafted to ECW Matt Hardy has been on SD more than he has ECW. There was, I think, 8 ECW stars on this show. How could Vicky fire Chavo and Bam Nealy when they don't work for her, They are ECW contracted talent? - Lance Storm

I don't think all the cross-over is an accident. The brand split was a terrible idea and I think the WWE is slowly moving away from it. Having the wrestlers appear on different shows allows them to dismiss the brand split without making a formal announcement.
