Well, duh.

Packers Likely to Postpone Farve's Jersey Retirement.

Elsewhere in sports:

Devin Hester signed a 4-year contract with the Bears, dangit, so it looks like Chicago will, in fact, have some offense this year. Even if it's on special teams.

And:

Packers RB Ryan Grant "insulted" by contract extension offer.

Green Bay - Running back Ryan Grant did not report to training camp Sunday and based on how angry his agent was Sunday with the Green Bay Packers' first offer, it could be a long time before he's back in uniform.

"It's insulting," agent Alan Herman said of the offer he received from negotiator Russ Ball at 5:15 p.m. Saturday "Ryan Grant gave them a running game last year. They know what he can do."

Herman said the most insulting part of the offer was the $1.75 million signing bonus the Packers offered on a six-year contract extension. Herman noted the $3 million linebacker Brady Poppinga received on his four-year extension that was signed last week.
Grant is not currently under contract with the team.

I have no comment on Poppinga's contract (you better be worth it Brady!), but, come on Ryan, you had a really good half-year at a time when the whole team was playing well. Put another good year under your belt before you start this crap.
