But this just in: Manning elected not to waste a postage stamp on Brett Favre. Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star reports Manning held off on penning a note to Favre, who still hasn't filed his official retirement papers with the NFL. "Like everybody else, I guess we'll see what happens this fall,'' Manning told the Star. "In a lot of ways I kind of hope (he returns). Brett's a guy that's been such an influence on me and all young quarterbacks . . . I guess part of it is kind of hope, maybe, that he finds his way back in the NFL this year.'' USAtoday.com 5/20/08
