The Facts:
Head coach Mike Sherman is excusing Favre from the team's voluntary mini-camp, saying he wants the quarterback to be raring to go when training camp starts in July. Sherman said Favre's personal trainer reports the quarterback is in top shape because of a special diet and workout regimen, and Favre wanted to participate in the mini-camp. "He's chomping at the bit, but this will give me a chance to work with some of the younger guys," including top draft pick Aaron Rodgers of Cal, Sherman said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Sherman also asked Favre to skip the post-draft mini-camp this spring because of the emotional wear and tear he had been under the previous 18 months, when he lost his father to a heart attack, his brother-in-law to an ATV accident and friend Reggie White to a respiratory ailment. His wife, Deanna, underwent treatment for breast cancer.
