Mangini doesn't want Farvararar in camp; he wants him in his hotel room. Settle down Eric, Brett's a married man!

~~~~~do de do do - do de do do~~~~~~(scooby doo music) picture Fan Nation in 2038; Toronto Bills coach Eric Mangini Jr, in a desparate attempt to save his job, invites Brett Favre to camp. "My Dad loves the guy, and we think he can still play." Favre, still under contract by the Arlington Cowboys from his fifth comeback, had no comment.

News flash: Brett Favre has decided to pass on Mangini's invitation. He was intercepted.

It would be a nice benefit for Quinn to be able to pick Favre's brain for a few weeks, but it can't turn into anything more. Mangini's already brought over 4 Jets to the Browns and Favre is the last thing they need. Hopefully Quinn can learn some from Favre, be a better player for it and move on.

Derek Anderson already knows how to do the whole "big arm, throws a lot of picks" thing. Are we going to reach that to Brady as well?

Hey, nothing surprises me about the Browns.I've been a fan for thirty yrs. and still get amazed at the "Can't help the team fiasco's"this team comes up with. The owner doesn't care,the upper office can't seem to use or keep quality players.SOOOO!!Why not through Brett in the mix?????? Who knows,a blunder like this might turn things around. YEA,Right.

I hope he plays and throws 25 picks again this season, he deserves it for tarnishing his legend with the Pack. I cannot stand him and "thinking" about retiring for the past 4, 5, or 6 yrs. It makes me sick. If he can throw that many more picks this is one record that never will be broken and that would make me soooo Happy.

<p><strong>Eric Mangini</strong> and <strong>Brett Favre</strong> developed a close relationship last season when both were employed by the New York Jets. Mangini, now the Cleveland Browns head coach, wants to continue his relationship with the now-retired Favre. From <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/2009/03/24/2009-03-24_eric_mangini_likes_brett_favre_but_think.html" target="_blank">NYDailyNews.com</a>, per <a href="http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/03/25/mangini-invites-favre-to-help-out-at-camp/" target="_blank">ProFootballTalk.com</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The odd couple are working out the logistics to spend time together this summer.</p>
<p>"He might come out to training camp to visit," Mangini said. "Maybe I will have him do the show team or just hang out."</p>
<p>Since Favre is still under contract to the Jets, Mangini can't have him put on a uniform and run the practice team, of course. But he didn't rule out Favre being a guest instructor for quarterbacks <strong>Brady Quinn</strong> and <strong>Derek Anderson</strong>, who face an open competition in camp for Cleveland's starting quarterback job.</p>
<p>Mangini simply likes the idea of having the future Hall of Famer around for a few days.</p>
<p>"I don't think it would be anything formal," Mangini said. "It's not like we are hiring him to run the scout team. I don't think he would be interested in that. He would be more like a visitor. An open invite."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>• Eric Mangini likes Brett Favre but thinks Gang Green was mean (<a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/2009/03/24/2009-03-24_eric_mangini_likes_brett_favre_but_think.html" target="_blank">NYDailyNews.com</a>)</p>
