With his family "tugging" on him to play, Brett Favre has an "itch" to come out of retirement and report to training camp with the Green Bay Packers later this month, according to sources close to the team and player.

Favre has communicated his potential desire to coach Mike McCarthy but talks have not advanced to a substantive stage, a Packers source said.

Does Mike McCarthy need coaching?
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Who doesn't from time to time, especially when trying to learn a new skill.

my sources at southern miss tell me that this is all a big misunderstanding.  he DID text al harris
that he had "the itch to play", but the whole thing got overblown from there.

he isn't coming back.
