Mulling Brett Favre’s “will he-won’t he” reconsideration of retirement:

• The Greenwood Commonwealth says the indecision is an “insult to the organization that treated him so well and made him a rich man…”

• The Wausau (WI) Daily Herald: “We don’t know how this latest drama involving Brett Favre and the Packers will unfold, but we do know one thing. It won’t end well.”
• Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press: “Brett Favre is now officially a self-absorbed diva, transforming in a matter of days from the Contented Warrior to the Conflicted Egotist. But he’s only guilty of career uncertainty. If that’s a crime of depleted integrity, then we’ll all stand convicted at some point in our lives…”
• AP offers a play-by-play of the on-again, off-again retirement.
• ESPN The Magazine’s Tim Keown: “…The ongoing Favre saga — Greta van Susteren, for crying out loud? — is in dire need of a referee…”

In his later life, his students knew him as “Wild Bill,” their journalism professor.

But those who knew Bill Sorrels from his newspaper days remember a dedicated journalist who worked some of the biggest stories at The Memphis Commercial Appeal and, later, as editor of The Evansville Press from 1977-1983. The longtime journalist also worked a tour at West Point’s Daily Times Leader in the late 40s and early 50s.

Sorrels died Saturday at the age of 83.
