"I wanted to change the uniforms just to get the stigma (of defeat) away," Wolf told the newspaper.

The best part of the story is how the new designs – the team commissioned three different styles, according to the Journal Sentinel – made it on to the field … not in a game but on the back of the man who would eventually replace Favre with Aaron Rodgers, now-general manager Ted Thompson.

"He (Thompson) was on the field down there all by himself," Wolf told the newspaper. "The guy ran up and down the field. I was thinking to myself, ‘Holy (expletive), I must have been smoking dope.

"All it took was that one trip up and down the field for me to say, ‘(Expletive), that’s terrible. No, no, no. There’s no way we can do this. We would have changed it, but after that I said, ‘This is foolish.’ "

Good Lord. What was Wolf thinking. This is not the AFL for crying out loud.

If you have the most storied franchise in American sports you don't mess with the uniforms.

The Browns got away from their classic look and have only just now got back to it.

Names on the jersey is not classic NFL. That came from the AFL, As are the numbers on the sleeve. Again AFL

Second overall pick Mitch Trubisky, third overall pick Solomon Thomas, fourth overall pick Leonard Fournette, fifth overall pick Corey Davis and ninth overall pick John Ross all had their options declined.

First overall pick Myles Garrett, sixth overall pick Jamal Adams, seventh overall pick Mike Williams and 10th overall pick Patrick Mahomes all had their options picked up. Eighth overall pick Christian McCaffrey got a contract extension before the fifth-year option deadline.

Packers have that 2nd round history with WR, so thought this would be interesting to see.

2nd round TD receptions since 2005. Now not all of Jennings or Cobbs or even Jordy's (I don't think) TD's came from Rodgers, but most of them sure did.

We'll see once Favre responds.

Now there is something we, at least, know we can count on.

State Auditor Shad White revealed the payments earlier this week through an audit that indicated the Hancock County, Mississippi, native received payments of $600,000 and $500,000 for speeches that he did not make.

On Wednesday, White announced that Favre had decided to pay the money back.

“Today my office has received $500,000 from Brett Favre in repayment for TANF money he was paid through MCEC and a commitment to repay the remainder in installments over the next few months,” White said in a statement. “The money will be held in our clearing account for a period and then be sent, in full, to the Mississippi Department of Human Services to be used for TANF-appropriate expenditures.

“I want to applaud Mr. Favre for his good faith effort to make this right and make the taxpayers and TANF families whole. To date, we have seen no records indicating Mr. Favre knew that TANF was the program that served as the source of the money he was paid.”
