"It looks like fans won't have to get their brains around former Packers great Brett Favre playing for Da Bears. A high-ranking Bears source told ESPN's Ed Werder on Tuesday that the team has no interest in signing the 42-year-old quarterback.

ESPNChicago.com reported on Monday that Favre would listen if the Bears made a pitch. The team lost Jay Cutler to a broken hand and has lost the last two games with Caleb Hanie running the show.

The Bears hadn't contacted Favre, who has spent a good portion of his recent days hunting, and it wasn't clear whether the Bears could even lure Favre out of retirement. The source told ESPNChicago.com Favre would listen, but his answer could be that he'll stay retired. The source also said Favre has been working out and staying in shape."
