Weekend Sports Open Thread

For general sports-related discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Is Brett Favre coming out of retirement to play for somebody other than the Packers?

Three days after a conference call with Packers team officials in which quarterback Brett Favre emphatically expressed his desire to play in 2008, Favre on Friday formally asked by letter for his unconditional contractual release, sources close to Favre and the team said.

What do you think is behind his decision to return? Would this be good for him and the game? Do you think other teams will take him, and, if so, who?
