Favre Puts "Murph" in a Tough Spot

It sure looks like the Brett Favre situation is going to end in an unhappy conclusion in Green Bay. And you have to emphathize with new Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy (right).
In his first year on the job, Murphy is probably going to be put in the position of releasing the Packers greatest all-time player.
Favre has been dropping hints for months about returning to the NFL. Understandably, the Packers took him at his word back in March, when he tearfully and finally announced his retirement. They've spent the last four months getting Aaron Rodgers physically and mentally ready to be the starting QB on a bona fide playoff team.
Now, weeks before training camp, Favre has let it be known that he wants to return. To top that, he's asked the Packers for his release.
Mark Murphy, a Clarence native and a member of the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame, is now forced to either scuttle the plans for Rodgers and the upcoming season to accomodate Favre, or cut the future Hall of Famer. Not much to choose from there.
If he brings Favre back, he sets the team up for another bitterly disappointing playoff finish, like last year's ill-advised Favre interception in overtime against the Giants. And, he risks alienating Rodgers permanently.
If he sends Favre packing, he could possible witness him playing QB for the Vikings or the Bears, divisional rivals that are desperately in need of a QB.
Favre should have made certain he was finished with football, before he made his retirement announcement in March. If he had waited, the Packers would certainly have brought him back to play this year.
What do you think of Favre's future? And what would you do if you were Mark Murphy and the Packers?
