On Sunday afternoon , NFL Network is reporting that the Philadelphia Eagles have contacted none other than Bret Favre about signing with them as a backup to Michael Vick for this season . The Network was trying to reach Favre for confirmation but were unable to reach him .You can tell the lockout is nearly over because now comes the Bret Favre news . I really was hoping we could get through this season without talking about Bret , but unfortunately that didnt happen .
