The St. Louis Rams, desperate for a quarterback like seemingly half the NFL is these days, called Brett Favre this week, according to ESPN. The franchise wanted to see if Favre would unretire for the umpteenth time and give it one last final shot, after all the other one last final shots.
Seriously. They called Brett Favre.
Favre is 44 years old and currently working as a volunteer offensive coordinator and quarterback coach for the Oak Grove Warriors, a high school team in Mississippi. He spends his spare time jogging and mowing the lawn.
He hasnt played since 2010, when a week after his record 297-regular season game starting streak ended, he went 5-for-7 for 63 yards, one touchdown and one pick in a Minnesota Vikings loss to the Chicago Bears. He was concussed early in the game and replaced by Joe Webb.

My guess is that Tebow has survived enough porous offensive lines that he is not interested.
Working with the right kind of offense, Tebow could be successful, or he could be trained to be more of a dropback/rollout QB than a shotgun/pistol guy. But either takes time, and it's almost mid season.
Bring back the Polish Rifle! He looks, um... fit.
