Jerry Rice sat down for a quick Q&A with the Minneapolis Star Tribune and sounded off on, of all things, Brett Favre. Rice, a fierce competitor in his own right, didn’t exactly sound enthusiastic about another Favre comeback:

You have two quarterbacks, Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels] who don’t know exactly what is going to happen. All of a sudden these two guys thought they were going to be competing. To be honest with you, I thought Tarvaris would be the starting guy this year… Now you have this saga, and everybody is sitting back wondering what is going to happen.

Rice said Jackson or Rosenfels, not Favre, should be starting for the Vikings this year.

…to be honest with you, I think the two guys with the team right now should be the two guys that they should be focusing on.

Some more notes from around the Web:

• In his Sunday notebook, the Boston Globe‘s Mike Reiss says Panthers QB Jake Delhomme‘s wait for redemption has lasted six long months — one for every turnover he committed against the Cardinals in the playoffs. Reiss also takes a closer look into Bill Belichick‘s impact on officially licensed NFL gear, specifically gray Patriots hoodies.

• Bills offensive coordinator Turk Schonert says Buffalo will go as far as QB Trent Edwards and the offensive line take them.

• New Broncos safety Renaldo Hill expects Denver’s secondary to be the best in the league.

• The newest Eagles are getting physically and mentally prepared for coach Andy Reid‘s infamous training-camp sessions.
