We know this much about the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders: They aren't dealing with trade offers for Brett Favre. Is he playing? Retiring? Demanding a trade? Bored with driving his lawn tractor in circles in Kiln, Miss. Who cares?
Given what we've seen from the Green Bay Packers' quarterback the past two weeks, maybe Favre should invest in a Waffle House, which are as ubiquitous in the South as pickup trucks and mildew.
The Bay Area NFL teams might not be playoff locks, or even sure bets to reach the magical .500 mark. But they don't need Favre. Heck, they've got plenty of quarterbacks — a pair of young, expensive No. 1 overall draft picks in Alex Smith and JaMarcus Russell, along with ample backup possibilities.
So Favre can waver, whine, accuse or tamper somewhere else. Here in the Bay Area, the 49ers and Raiders will be busy with two of the most intriguing training camps in the NFL, on and off the field.
