Brett Favre says he's tempted to show up at the Green Bay Packers' training camp just to call the team's "bluff."

In the second part of an interview with Fox News, the 38-year-old quarterback said he knows his arrival in camp would cause a media circus, but that might not stop him. Packers players are scheduled to report July 27.

"It's tempting just to, as everyone said, you know, call their bluff or whatever," Favre said, according to an excerpt provided to the Associated Press. "I think it's going to be a circus in itself already, whether I go there, whatever."

The interview on the show "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" was to be broadcast Tuesday night.

Favre, a three-time MVP, says he feels "a little bit" bad for would-be successor Aaron Rodgers, the former Cal star, and insists he doesn't want to be a distraction to his teammates. Or are they his former teammates?

"I like my teammates," Favre said. "I had a lot of fun with them. I have talked to numerous guys throughout this whole ordeal. I wish them the best, I really do. I hold nothing against those guys. We had a lot of fun together. We had, it was an amazing year last year. I don't want to make it any worse than it is."

And right now, it's pretty bad. Favre and the Packers appear headed toward a messy divorce after Favre demanded his release last week. The decision blindsided the Packers.

"This is an ongoing situation," team spokesman Jeff

Team officials have been careful not to criticize Favre, instead laying out a detailed timeline of their offseason dealings with him. The team hopes that fans would understand why the Packers wouldn't be willing to abandon their offseason plans with Rodgers just because Favre changed his mind.

But Favre doesn't seem inclined to take a back seat to Rodgers.

"We'll pay you $12 million, but you've got to hold the clipboard and ball cap?" Favre said. "That's probably better for them as opposed to letting me go somewhere and me coming back. Then their legacy, the management, would, you know, could be in jeopardy."

General manager Ted Thompson has said the Packers do not plan to grant Favre his release. And while Thompson said Favre could return to the Packers if he applies to the league for reinstatement, it would be "in a different role than he was" because the team had committed to Rodgers.

Thompson and McCarthy also have said they are concerned about Favre's legacy, but Favre said, "You know, it's a bunch of bull. It's all it is."

Raiders: Two men accused of abducting, beating and robbing Oakland wide receiver Javon Walker got new lawyers and another court date in Las Vegas from a judge who told them he'll consider requests to reduce bail later this month.

49ers: Defensive end Melvin Oliver was waived. Oliver originally joined the 49ers as a sixth-round draft pick out of LSU in 2006. As a rookie, he played in 16 games, starting 14, and made 50 tackles, with one sack and a fumble recovery he returned for a touchdown. Oliver missed the 2007 season after suffering a knee injury during organized team activities in June.

Cowboys: Safety Ken Hamlin, the team's franchise player, agreed to a $39 million, six-year deal that includes a $9 million signing bonus and guarantees the Pro Bowl safety about $15 million before the deadline Tuesday.

Colts: Besides quarterback Peyton Manning, expected to miss four to six weeks after minor knee surgery Monday for an infected bursa sac, several others will miss the opening of training camp July 25 including defensive end Dwight Freeney, wide receiver Marvin Harrison and safety Bob Sanders.

Starting linebacker Tyjuan Hagler has a torn pectoral muscle and is expected to start camp on the physically unable to perform list. So are Harrison, Sanders and Freeney. Harrison, 35, appears to be of the most concern. He missed most of last season with knee problems, including one with a bursa sac. He had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in January and has been rehabilitating an inflamed left knee. Freeney had surgery after a season-ending injury to his left foot last November. Sanders had shoulder surgery.

Bears: Running back Kevin Jones signed a one-year deal worth $605,000. In four years with Detroit, which released him in the offseason, Jones rushed for 3,067 yards and 24 touchdowns on 761 carries. Jones, who played for Virginia Tech, was drafted in the first round by the Lions in 2004.
