GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Now that the Green Bay Packers' season is over, Brett Favre is skipping town. He's also skipping the ankle surgery he was supposed to have this week. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said on Wednesday that Favre has not gone through with the arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle that originally was scheduled for Monday. And McCarthy seems to think that the three-time MVP might put the procedure off for yet another year. ``I don't know,'' McCarthy said. ``I thought he was going to get it |

After offensive coordinator Mike McCarthy left to coach the Green Bay Packers following last season, Nolan quickly hired veteran coach Norv Turner to take over. Mike Singletary, the 49ers' assistant head coach and linebackers coach, could be a top candidate to replace Davis, though the Hall of Fame linebacker has been an NF |

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -Lovie Smith's demeanor was typically calm Tuesday as he rehashed the Chicago Bears' regular season. They won 13 games and a second straight division championship, but ended the season with a whimper. The Green Bay Packers beat Chicago 26-7 on Sunday night and exposed the Bears' flaws heading into the postseason. ``We were flat,'' Smith said. Chicago had already clinched home-field advantage, so the game was virtually meaningless. But the overall performance was still weak, especi |

Or at least that's the impression Favre left by choking back tears as he talked about missing the game and his teammates after the Green Bay Packers' season-ending victory at Chicago. But even if Favre is questioning whether it's worth putting his beaten-up body through another year of practices - he was scheduled for surgery on his ankle on Monday, but the procedure was postponed - there migh |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Brett Favre sure sounded like someone on the verge of retirement, getting choked up after the Green Bay Packers' victory in Chicago on Sunday night. But the guy who would be first in line to replace the three-time MVP isn't convinced that's the case. ``I wouldn't read too much into that,'' Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Monday. While Favre might have been overcome with emotion immediately after the game, he was back to his jovial self by the time he got to the locker room, |
