Vandermause and others can speculate to the contrary, but the above had been reported on more than one occasion.

Yet, the reporter who said that Thompson, Harlan, McCarthy and others in the front office had significnat concerns about Favre's ability to perform well in extreme cold conditions after witnessing his performances in the Chi and NFCC games, that guy is still reporting on the Packers.

I also had significant concerns about Favre's ability to perform well in extreme cold conditions.

That information is hardly much of a bombshell. It's an innocuous comment in my mind save for the fact it's about Favre. Was this reported pre-or post retirement?

Did that come off someone's blog? "signifiCNat"??? No reputable publication would've printed that. Who cares what Harlan thought? He's retired. Would love to know who he is...the best Packer source is Bob McGinn, IMO.
