GREEN BAY, Wis., Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Record-setting quarterback Brett Favre has told ESPN that he asked for his release from the Green Bay Packers.
Favre reported to the team this week, ending a retirement he announced in March, but the Packers were apparently at a loss of what to do with the 38-year-old veteran, since they'd already taken steps to replace him at quarterback, including naming Aaron Rodgers the team's starting quarterback.
