Panthers GM responds to Favre to Panthers rumor
If Brett Favre wants to un-retire from football and play for the Carolina Panthers, that's news to Panthers general manager Marty Hurney.
"I don't know where these things come from," Hurney said of an Internet report earlier this week about agent Bus Cook saying Favre, who retired from the Green Bay Packers three months ago, has decided he already wants to return to the game, specifically with Carolina.
Hurney declined any further comment.
Favre has hinted recently that he might be interested in coming out of retirement, if the football bug bites him when training camp starts. The Los Angeles Times, without citing any sources, reported Friday that Favre could resurface with Tampa Bay, Carolina, Chicago or Minnesota.
But Favre also told The (Biloxi, Miss.) Sun Herald, "It's all rumors."

I heard a rumor he expressed his desire to return to McCarthy and was told they weren't interested in having him back, and then he said ok well release me and they refused. If he shows up unwanted at training camp they'll be forced to cut him, who knows if it gets that far.
