Just as you think the bizarreness of the whole Favre vs Packers doesn't stop....
[quote name='ProFootballTalk.com']PACKERS HIRE ARI FLEISCHER

As the most bizarre story we’ve ever seen continues to get more and more bizarre, now comes word that the Packers have hired former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer as a consultant, according to Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com.
Fleischer has been hired for a month.
He met with the team several days ago, in a session that was supposedly scheduled before the cheese hit the fan regarding the Favre situation.
The Packers would have been wise to hire Fleischer at least a month ago. And unless he has access to a time machine, it’s going to be very hard for him to undo the damage that the franchise has already done to its image and reputation with the bungling manner in which the present situation has been handled.
And here’s the bottom line — if the Packers were serious about welcoming Brett Favre back and making him the starter, why would they need a former White House press secretary to do damage control? Our guess is that this latest maneuver is proof positive the vodka-fueled chess match will continue, in the hopes of making the Packers look like the good guys and casting Favre as the villain.[/quote]
