Report just came on ESPN that Favre has been telling teammates and friends that he isn't going to return to football this season. I won't believe it untill the season start and hes not in pads.

Well that clears things up...

I won't believe it till the 2010 season is over.  ESPN is drooling over the guy right now as if the guy is officially retired...pathetic.

Good lord, here we go again.  You know, I really enjoy watching Favre play.  The guy really looks like he's having a good time.  But damnit man, just stop already.  Retire.  Probably would help it if ESPN didn't become the Brett Favre network each year around spring training for the NFL.

I'll believe it when he misses the first five regular season games.

He is a great player, no doubt. Also, a very selfish person in holding his teams hostage while he soaks up all the attention. Even his agent called him a "drama queen".

However, some of those sears commercials he does crack me up.  ;D

JUST GO AWAY ALREADY!!!

HO-HUM.

I think he should schedule an hour long dog-and-pony show on ESPN to announce his decision... wait that's already been done. Never mind.

Maybe he should just stick to doing commercials... How many times can 1 person retire?

Was he crying like he did the very first time he announced retirement?

NateFollmer, to get the proper answer to your question you need to ask Michael Jordan

I used to idolize that guy, now...what an egocentric jerk.  I really love how he still plays the good ol' country boy act.  What a joke.

I know what you mean. He was once a hero, now a zero. It is a real shame. I know some folks from Wisconsin that used to worship this guy...

If he wants to skip camp he should just tell them he'll report a week before the season starts. No need to leak retirement talk again just to get out of camp.

I wouldn't think his ego would let him end his career with a bad interception, just minutes away from the Super Bowl.

He'll be back.

He'll be back.

He's the terminator..... ;D

He had quite a career this year

Heard it before.  Let's see what happens when the season starts. 

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!

Favre said those words and statements didn't come from his "compound".

   The media driving the bus and as usual, guys jump on this hook line and sinker. ;D ;D ;D

I just heard on the radio ("The Herd") via Ed Werder that Farve will play if healthy.  Apparenlty Werder found Farve and "cornered" him, based on what Collin said.

Good grief...ESPN is gonna milk this cow until she shrivels up and falls over dead.

A couple observations........

Brett is without doubt the most selfish, biggest attention wh0re in football. He is T.O./Ocho Cinco squared and if you think he did this for money, you're mistaken. He'll take the extra money but he just wanted people to court him back to the Vikings.

He is also one of the OLDEST looking 40 year olds NOT working in a Waffle House.

Heard this on a sports radio show and not sure if it's accurate. If he were to retire now, his last pass with each franchise were all interceptions.  ;D

I can understand any top tier athlete not wanting to hang it up. If he can win, stay healthy and not hurt the team, I say why not.  If he can't then it's time to go. 

I think he gets a bad wrap for not much of a reason.  Who cares if he can't deceide whether to play or not.  You would too at that age and for that amount of money.   He's good for the game, and is still better than the vast majority of the QBs out there.  Sure he could of handled some things differently, but in the end I think hes still a decent guy who loves to play the game... you rarely see his amount of heart out of players this day and age.    Im not a Packer/Vikings or even an NFC fan... just the way I see it.   

He is trying to get one more record before he leaves for good.

In the Guiness Book of Records, for the most times coming out of retirement.
