Apparently, it doesn't matter if he's pretend retired or legitimately done with football, he refuses to go away. But this time, it's not his self-absorbed fault. Nope, it's all Eric Mangini's doing. Favre's head coach last season during a regrettable stint with the Jets, Mangini is now running things in Cleveland and has kindly asked the ol' Wranglers-wearin' gunslinger if he'd serve as a guest instructor during the Browns' camp this summer. Mangini told the New York Daily News that he and Favre have been text messaging since they last saw each other December 29, the day the Jets fired Mangini and the day after Favre played his final NFL game. ... "I don't think it would be anything formal," Mangini told the newspaper. "It's not like we are hiring him to run the scout team. I don't think he would be interested in that. He would be more like a visitor. An open invite." Right. Because if ever Favre should've been running the scout team, it was last year.* Naturally, the thought of a Mangini-Favre reunion -- even an informal one -- raises questions about the state of their relationship; word on the street was that things were strained, but that could've had more to do with a late-season implosion that ended up costing Mangini his job than anything personal between the two. (Plus, Mangini named his son after Brett which unofficially makes them BFFs. Make note, Josh.) For me, the bigger question is why Mangini thinks Favre would be a good instructor. He's the same dude who pointed out that, after the Packers drafted Aaron Rodgers in 2005, it wasn't in his contract to mentor the rookie. Not only that, but what's he going to tell Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn? How to maximize the number of ill-advised passes or game-changing interceptions you can squeeze into a season? I'm sorta kidding (like Favre or not -- and, surprisingly, I do -- he's rightfully going into the Hall of Fame), but I'm also sorta serious: it's not like we're talking about Joe Montana or Troy Aikman -- two guys already in Canton whose success was largely dependent on being fundamentally sound. Favre is -- as Peter King will so gleefully tell you -- a free spirit, a gunslinger. Not sure how that will make Anderson or Quinn, two young quarterbacks who have struggled with accuracy and decision making, better. Of course, there's also a more sinister reason for Favre's presence in Browns' camp. Via Ciskie, Packers fan and resident Favre conspiracy theorist: "On the bright side, [He] could spill all the beans about the Packers to a team that actually plays them in 2009, and may be capable of taking advantage of the information." That's also a possibility, I guess. If nothing else, Favre's appearance in Berea should distract us, if only momentarily, from the impending train wreck that's sure to be the Browns' 2009 season. And I mean that in the most laudatory way possible. * Kidding. Unless he had stayed in Green Bay, in which case he definitely should've been scout-teaming it up.
