For the Super Bowl this Sunday, while Wiz Khalifa, with his tune “Black and Yellow,” will support his Pittsburgh team, Steelers, New Orleans-based Lil Wayne, aka “Weezy,” is about to support the Green Bay Packers by his remix song “Green and Yellow.”

Weezy raps in the tune, “Got a call from my homey, this just in/ The Packers in the Super Bowl and they better win / They call him Big Ben, but he weak, though/ We in Dallas, but we Lambeau Leap, ho/ Long hair, don’t care, Clay Matthews/ We sh–in’ on these fools, no bathroom/ Yeah, got a pocket full of big faces/ Throw it up, touchdown on Ike Taylor.”

This weekend is the Superbowl, the biggest game of the year, but still a dark cloud looms over the NFL, the possibility that there won’t be a 2011-2012 season thanks to a labor dispute between the NFL Players Association and owners.What does that mean for the sports famed gaming series? In a conference call with investors today, EA’s Chief Operating Officer John Schappert assured everyone that yes, there will be a Madden this year.

We, like you, are looking forward to the NFL and the [players] resolving their differences and starting the season on time this year,” said Schappert, “but in terms of a planning assumption … we’ve baked in the most conservative assumption, meaning no season. We’re optimistic it can be better than that, so there’s an upside.”

The possibility of a lockout could mean both good and bad things for the multi million dollar series, as no actual football means that more people will buy the game, but many of the franchise’s key modes are based on actual events each week in the NFL.

By the way, Packers by 10. Take that Guilfoil.

We don’t have much information right now, but Jay Glazer of Foxsports.com says that the deal is done, and that Brett Favre is a NY Jet.

The Packers get an unknown conditional draft pick and the Jets will likely have to release a QB. According to Glazer, the most likely suspect will be Chad Pennington.

Stay tuned on this one.

It’s not yet known who the Vikings were tampering with, but I think it’s a QB. Brian Brohm? Probably not. Jay Glazer of Foxsports.com said it’s actually Brett Favre (gasp!) who was allegedly communicating with Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. The Packers have, per Glazer, officially filed tampering charges, and the Vikings have vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

Packers GM Ted Thompson has declined to comment as has NFL spokesman Greg Aiello.

Bevell is a former Packers assistant and friend of Favre. If found guilty, the Vikings would be fined and docked a draft pick.

UPDATE: A league source has told PFT that the Packers believe they have the goods on the Vikings. There are rumors out there that the Packers could have cell phone records that would show communication between the Vikings and Favre. Stay tuned, this one just keeps getting weirder.

I have had no interest in reporting on this obnoxious story since Brett Favre announced his retirement. I have had it with all the rumors about Favre telling his cousin’s dog that he might come back, or that Peter King thinks Favre might come back and play in Canada. But, now I actually have something substantial.

According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, Favre has asked for his outright release from the team.

UPDATE: The Packers have released a statement regarding Favre. The statement reads:

“The Green Bay Packers are aware of the latest developments regarding Brett Favre.

“Brett earned and exercised the right to retire on his terms. We wanted him to return and welcomed him back on more than one occasion.”

“Brett’s press conference and subsequent conversations in the following weeks illustrated his commitment to retirement.”

“The finality of his decision to retire was accepted by the organization. At that point, the Green Bay Packers made the commitment to move forward with our football team.”

“As a retired player, Brett has the option to apply for reinstatement with Commissioner Goodell. If that were to occur, he would become an active member of the Green Bay Packers. As always, the Packers will do what’s right and in the best interest of the team.”

“As with all Packers greats, Brett’s legacy will always be celebrated by our fans and the organization, regardless of any change in his personal intentions.”

“Brett and Deanna will always be a part of the Packers family.”
