You have to be gone for people to miss you, Favre. How can someone retire and then never miss a game?

I'm going to quit my job right now, but I'll be there at 9 a.m. tomorrow. How's that work?

Just pretend like it never happened.

Favre called it a rumour. I saw it on the NFL Network.

Did anyone really think he was gone for good when he retired?

Nope.

God damn Brett Farvre, he misses the spotlight that much, i mean it's only been 2 months since the last one.

I'm all for him coming back so the bears can whoop his *** once more.

I am a MAJOR Brett Favre fan but...CMON DUDE! He didn't even retire! If a school teacher retires at the start of the summer but then takes a teaching job at the start of a new semester, he never retired...he would have been off anyway!

Give it a rest man!

Update on this. Looks like he's going to come back and the Packers are going to have to make a tough decision either way.

A lot more in the link btw.

Nightmare in Green Bay: The saga of Brett Favre is far from over

Quote:

We are early in what I can guarantee will be a very tumultuous month in the recurring Brett Favre will-he-or-won't-he saga, and what I can tell you for sure is this: No. 4 wants to play football again, and the Green Bay Packers desperately do not want him to.

Will he play? I don't know. I don't think he knows. He has, however, told coach Mike McCarthy he wants to return.

The issue is going to be pressed soon. I fully expect Favre's agent to send a letter to the Packers within the next 10 days, stating that Favre, 38, wants to be taken off the National Football League's reserve/retired list. At that point, the team will have no choice but to re-admit the league's most accomplished statistical quarterback ever back to football, and general manager Ted Thompson and McCarthy will have a decision to make that you can be sure is keeping them up nights. They can take Favre and his $12.8-million cap number back onto the team and give him his starting job back, they can trade him or they can release him.

Every one of those options makes the Packers wretch. I've been told an edgy McCarthy told Favre, in their most recent phone conversation a couple of weeks ago, the legendary quarterback would put the Packers in a tough spot by reneging on his March 6 retirement. Favre understands. But I don't think it's going to stop him from doing what his body tells him to do -- play football again.

In the past few years, Favre has begun to prepare for training camp by throwing to high-school receivers at Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg, Miss., and when he's done that in the past month, his arm has felt pain-free and strong. That, plus the fact he hasn't found anything else to do in retirement other than the chores on his 465 acres in Hattiesburg, is making him think he wants to play football again.

at this point aaron rodgers is better than favre. of course, if he actually comes back i don't think they really have any choice but to let him come back.

the packers should let him come back but make him be rodgers' backup.
