Kevin Riley passed for 202 yards and two second-half touchdowns, and Shane Vereen broke an 81-yard scoring run with 4:21 left in California ’s 38-31 victory over Michigan State on Saturday night.

No word on whether Dumpster Muffin was one of those cheerleading Treesitters.

The Milwaukee Journal updates the latest on the ongoing Favre-Green Bay Packers drama:

Negotiations dead; Favre to compete for starting job

By Tom Silverstein

Green Bay — The Green Bay Packers are through negotiating with quarterback Brett Favre on a marketing deal and they are anticipating him reporting for training camp Monday and being on the field as soon as he passes his physical, a Packers source said.

Another source close to the club, said that Favre will be allowed to compete with Aaron Rodgers for the starting job and won’t necessarily be the backup this season. Trade talks with Favre have not advanced and coach Mike McCarthy is expected to come up with a plan that will split the practice repetitions with Rodgers.

Click on the above link to read the whole sordid, completely unnecessary tale. Not everything is about business, TT. On the other hand, not all communication should be conducted via text message, either.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Poll on Brett’s Possible Return

The latest jsonline.com poll:

If Brett Favre is indeed interested in playing again for the Packers, should the team welcome him back?

Yes (62.5%)

No (37.5%)

Total votes: 18,935 + 1 (mine!)

Apparently the only response from the legend himself is: “It’s all rumor.”

And yes, I realize the intended mission of this blog is supposed to be new products, especially marketing, branding, strategy, blah-blah. But it seems to me the ‘Brett Favre’ brand has plenty of existing equity and if Schlitz Classic can be a comeback success after 30 years, shouldn’t the Brett brand have a chance after less than 6 six months?

ESPN is reporting that Brett Favre may want to come out of retirement and report to training camp. The legendary quarterback hinted at this possibility while on Letterman last spring. While this Cheesehead is also a Golden Bear, which means Aaron Rogers is okay by me… there’s no one like #4.
