With roughly three weeks left before the starting of training camp, the last thing the Packers expected was a quarterback controversy.

Two of them, actually.

ESPN reported today that Brett Favre has "the itch" to play again and has informed the Packers, who apparently are lukewarm about the idea.

Packers general manager Ted Thompson and head coach Mike McCarthy were unavailable for comment Wednesday.

The Favre story broke just after incumbent quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the heir apparent to Brett Favre's position as the leader of the state's favorite team, created a minor firestorm with some comments to Sports Illustrated.

"I don't feel I need to sell myself to the fans," Rodgers told the magazine. "They need to get on board now or keep their mouths shut."

Rodgers later softened his stance in an interview with Wisconsin State Journal reporter / OnMilwaukee.com contributor Jason Wilde.

"I love playing in Green Bay. I love the city of Green Bay," Rodgers told Wilde. "I love playing in a city that expects greatness, expects its players to play at a high level. I love my interaction with the fans, I love being in the community and spending time with them. That's my only regret with this story breaking, that anyone would take offense to what I said," Rodgers said Tuesday night. "Anything that makes it look like I don't care about what the fans think about me is off base. That's the biggest disappointment."

If Favre decides to come back, and the Packers allow it, Rodgers will experience a new kind of disappointment.

More than likely, his agent is trying to earn a fee, and his buddy in Mississippi is feeling lonely for PR. Brett never struck me as much of a media hound.

Yet another shameless PR stunt by Brett Favre designed to keep his name in the papers, because his gigantic ego can't stand not to be talked about. At this point, the man makes me sick and I don't ever want to hear his name again.

How can you come back if you never went away?? Please Brett. Go away! I am excited to see what these new QBs can do. Aaron Rodgers is right - people DO need to shut up and get on board.
