LAKE BUENA VISTA -- Let's suppose for a second Brett Favre ends up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (and I don't think that's a stretch anymore). It would mean an instant media circus and have massive implications.

Here's a look at 10 things that would happen if Favre joins the Bucs.

Garcia

1. Jeff Garcia would be out the door. On the drive over here tonight, I heard some callers to a local radio show suggest that Favre and Garcia could compete for the starting quarterback job. I beg to differ. If Favre comes, Garcia goes. The Bucs wouldn't go out and get Favre to have him compete for a job. If he comes, he's the starter. Garcia would have some value on the trade market. Minnesota and Chicago can't get Favre from the Packers, but they can have Garcia from the Bucs.
2. Chris Simms and Brian Griese would follow Garica out the door. Simms has had one foot out the door for months and I don't see any way he stays on this roster. He either gets traded or gets released. Griese was brought in to provide a veteran backup for Garcia, who has had injury problems throughout his career. I'm thinking the Bucs wouldn't need Griese if they get Favre, the most durable quarterback ever.
3. Luke McCown and Josh Johnson get to learn from the master. Coach Jon Gruden has been saying he wants a quarterback for the future for several years. McCown and Johnson have raw skills. Sitting behind and in meetings with Favre for a year would go a long way in their development.
4. The Bucs get fans buzzing. Although the Bucs won the NFC South last season, they're not a glamour team on the national level. Derrick Brooks is a great player and Gruden is a big name, but the Bucs don't excite a lot of people. Think Favre would change that?
5. We find out who's really running this show. I've said for a while now that bringing in Favre would make a lot of business sense for the Bucs. The Glazer family, which owns the team, is well aware of that. They're also aware they had a difficult time selling out a playoff game last season and a lot of fans have grown disgruntled with rising ticket prices and with Tampa Bay's tendency to bring in troubled players. The Glazers have shown a willingness to make a splash in the past and this would be their biggest splash. Their stadium would be full, the Bucs would be the center of attention and the darling of the flex schedule and they would sell an awful lot of No. 4 jerseys.
6. Favre would get the ultimate crash course. We've all heard about how complicated Gruden's offense is. Bringing Favre in near the end of training camp is not an ideal situation. But Gruden has plenty of confidence in his ability to work with quarterbacks and could make this work. He's also dealing with a veteran who has a history of making things happen on the fly. Sure, the Bucs may have to simplify the playbook a little bit, but Favre and Gruden can make this work.
7. Gruden could get his reputation back. For his entire tenure in Tampa, Gruden's been overshadowed. There's the perception he won a Super Bowl with Tony Dungy's players. There's also the reality that he hasn't been the offensive guru he was in Oakland and that Monte Kiffin's defense has been carrying this team. If the Bucs make the playoffs and Favre makes some downfield throws, Gruden looks like a genius.
8. The Sept. 28 game at Raymond James Stadium becomes the toughest regular-season ticket in NFL history. It would be Favre against the Packers. It's not at Lambeau Field, but it's still huge.
9. The words "pewter'' and "Favre'' would become synonymous. Dale Mabry Highway could be renamed Brett Favre Boulevard and, for a change, the quarterback becomes the top attraction on the strip.
10. At least in the short term, we'll be reminded 67 million times that this season's Super Bowl is in Tampa. Maybe there is a fairy-tale ending for Favre's career after all.
