NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had held off on granting Favre's request for reinstatement for nearly a week. (Aug. 3)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] Brett Favre (fahrv) will become a Green Bay Packer once again.The NFL has announced Favre will be reinstated and added to the Packers' active roster effective Monday. Favre could be on the field as early as Tuesday.Commissioner Roger Goodell had held off on granting Favre's request for reinstatement for nearly a week, hoping the Packers could resolve their standoff with Favre. It is not clear whether the reinstatement indicates Favre has rejected a lucrative marketing agreement offered by the team to stay retired. Reinstatement also could force the team to increase its offer to Favre in the hopes he changes his mind again about a comeback.Favre originally announced his retirement in March before having second thoughts. The Packers elevated quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the top of the depth chart, and head coach Mike McCarthy has insisted Rodgers would be his Number-1 signal-caller even if Favre returned. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****)

I didn't buy it at all, and neither did anybody else. I'm the loser for responding? You are the one who said it, thinking you were funny the entire time when nobody else did. Welcome to the internet, everyone hates you..go kill yourself.

[ronpaul2016]

I'm just making people rush out to news websites after reading my comment.

You must been one of the douchebags that bought it because of your angry response.

You're the loser, obviously, because you felt the need to respond. No shit: It isn't official. Welcome to the internet, assclown.

[snwrist]

Nothing is official yet you loser.

[ronpaul2016]

Favre is going to the Vikings. It is official.

[ronpaul2016]

If Favre winds up with the Vikings, how about you put your money where your mouth is? I say $1000 on Favre having a better season than Rodgers. We're not talking statistics just in case Rodgers has 1 good game and then is injured for the next 15. Total stats...
