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.
I am so tired of hearing about Brett. His return to the Jets should give the Madden curse another chance to continue.
Cant wait to see if Jacob Bell holds ups against Haynesworth and the rest of the Titans D-L on saturday. Wonder if fat Albert has been playing possum during the practices and will be blowing up Bell and the Rams center , ‘He who is not named’, during the preseason debue ? Speaking of the center position i guess we have 3 good ones considering the play of Nick Lechey ,so how do we keep all the extra OG’s, Ot’s , and 3 centers ??
Sorry for the bad spelling on my previous entry Mr Nick , Yours is spelled L-A-C-K-E-Y , and you have not to my knowledge been to Cabo with Jessica , Tony Romo, hankerchef Terrell or the other Nick
!!.
Congrats on your good play for the Rams Nick Lackey !!
Oh, yes…the Madden curse. Why can’t they place Tom Brady or one of the Pats on the Madden game. That’ll take care of that.
