I'll bet you 10:1 Bus Cook is lying through his teeth.  Favre might not have
known about it but I bet Cook was inquiring anyway.  His meal ticket just
retired.  You can bet he's going to push Favre to unretire when the time is
ripe to do it.

FAVRE'S AGENT DENIES SEEKING
TRADE<http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/03/favres-agent-denies-seeking-trade/>

Sam Farmer of the *Los Angeles Times* has a report today that, if true,
would be a bombshell:  Brett
Favre<http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/03/favres-agent-denies-seeking-trade/#>
could
be weighing a comeback<http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-favre4apr04,1,260934.story>with
an
NFL<http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/03/favres-agent-denies-seeking-trade/#>team
other than the Packers.

Farmer quotes unnamed NFL sources as saying that Favre's agent "has quietly
inquired with teams about their interest."  And he notes that Favre, who
tearfully announced his departure from the game of
football<http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/03/favres-agent-denies-seeking-trade/#>last
month, has not yet filed his retirement paperwork.

But Farmer also quotes Favre's agent, Bus Cook, as saying he knows nothing
about it.  And Cook tells ESPN, "That is absolutely
false<http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3327555>.
Absolutely false, and you can quote me on that."

That leaves us with the choice of believing Farmer's unnamed sources or
Cook's emphatic denials. And it reminds us that no matter how many times
Favre says he is done playing football, we're not done hearing speculation
that he'll return.
