Rams will be part of Favre “soap opera”
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Camp Day 14/late report)
Predictably, Brett Favre was a hot topic of conversation late Thursday afternoon at Baptist Sports Park, where the Rams wrapped up their two days of shared practices with the Tennessee Titans.
Seeing Favre in a Jets uniform “is going to be weird,” said Titans punter Craig Hentrich (Alton Marquette High), who was Favre’s teammate with the Packers from 1993-97. “It’s just a tough situation . . . kind of sad. I hope it doesn’t ruin his legacy there. I just know that people love him so much up there, and he’s done so much for that organization. I hope it doesn’t haunt him in the future.”
When he was the Vikings’ offensive coordinator from 2002-04, Scott Linehan went up against Favre twice a season in the NFC North. “I’ve seen him play in so many games . . . some on the bad side, some on the good side,” Linehan said. “It’s probably great for the game, keeping a guy like that playing.”
The Rams meet the Jets on Nov. 9 in New York. “We get to have our piece of that little soap opera, I guess,” Linehan quipped.

Notes & quotes:
>>WR Drew Bennett had a rough day, with two outright drops and another ball that he should’ve caught in the end zone.
>>Rookie WR Keenan Burton made a terrific grab, outbattling two defenders for the ball, on a pass from Trent Green that netted about 30 yards.
>>The Rams and Titans practiced in shoulder pads and shorts, but they still popped one another pretty aggressively.
>>Rams T Adam Goldberg went head-to-head with Titans Pro Bowl DE Kyle Vanden Bosch in two series during 11-on-11 drills Thursday afternoon. Goldberg, who is having an excellent training camp, dominated.
>>Rookie Donnie Avery, who has been out nearly two weeks with a small fracture in his pelvic bone, ran routes with the other WRs and appears close to getting back onto the field.
>>Proud alum Corey Chavous has been sporting a Vanderbilt cap. The team hotel abuts the campus. “It’s kind of cool. I had a class right across the street,” Chavous said.
All for now . . . more Friday.


If Goldberg dominated Venden Bosch perhaps he should be starting.
