The Brett Favre soap is turning into a minute-by-minute drama with the latest being that Packers team Mark Murphy -- what a minute Mark Murphy, coach Mike McCarthy, general manager Ted Thompson, there's a serious alliteration issue going on there in Green Bay -- is in Hattiesburg, Mississippi meeting with Favre and his agent "Bus" Cook.

This follows Favre applying for his reinstatement with the league yesterday and – imagine this – NFL commissioner Roger Goodell delaying acting on the reinstatement to give the Packers more time to figure out what to do.

They absolutely do not want to release him so that he could sign with any other team without compensation to the Packers. And they really, really don’t want in camp where his presence would create in his own words a “circus” and an atmosphere of angst for the whole team, especially the nominated starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

So it would seem the only way out is a trade. What Murphy hopes to accomplish in Mississippi remains to be seen

However, we have seemed to stumble upon something in the process of poking through the Internet. It seems that Brett Favre may be the subject of more original songs that any other sports figure on the planet. And since all we can do is wait to see what happens in the Green Bay-Hattiesburg shuttle diplomacy, we thought we would periodically run a Brett Favre song.

This one is a take off on Don McLean’s American Pie by singer-songwriter and Favre fan Annette Summersett.
