GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) _ Brett Favre is sticking to the script, declining to address his public rift with the Green Bay Packers in an appearance at Lambeau Field on Saturday.

Favre called Green Bay "a special place" while praising former teammate Frank Winters in a news conference before the Packers' Hall of Fame induction ceremony banquet. After speaking for just over three minutes, Favre walked off the stage and ducked out a side door without taking questions.

Favre retired in early March, but has been having second thoughts. He has asked to be released from his Packers contract, a request the team has no plans to grant.
