A press conference that was slated to start at 5 is still not underway yet as of 5:40. We're watching back in the office via the NFL Network, and it's clear Rich Eisen is not amused at having to fill 40 minutes of unexpected time. He's used the term "still waiting" on several occasions.

Will Brett Favre ever speak?

Probably.

Update: Yes.

Also, to RandBall regulars: Sorry if we've hijacked things with all-Favre, all the time today. We hope to be back to regularly scheduled mischief and nonsense in no time. We also like the idea of lining up everyone's old commenting name with their new name. We'll get everything straightened out, even if nobody seems to like the comment system right now.
