Have you ever heard of the old saying, like a bad penny that won't go away.
This just in from yahoo sports.

BRETT FARVE RETHINKING RETIREMENT

LOS ANGELES (TICKER) —Brett Favre could be having second thoughts about retirement.

According to a Los Angeles Times report, the former Green Bay Packers quarterback, who announced his retirement last month, is contemplating a comeback with another team.

Citing NFL sources, the Times reported Thursday that Favre has been quietly talking with teams about their interest in trading for the three-time NFL Most Valuable Player.

On March 4, Favre, who played with the Packers for 16 seasons, announced his retirement during an emotional press conference at Lambeau Field.

However, Favre, 38, has yet to give written notice of his retirement to the league or players’ union.

Favre’s agent, James “Bus” Cook, told the Times he was not aware of his client’s possible interest in resuming his career.

“That’s news to me,” Cook said. “I don’t think it has anything to do with anything. He’s retired, period, point blank.”

During his press conference, Favre denied he retired because the Packers did not make a more aggressive attempt to sign wide receiver Randy Moss.

However, Favre’s decision came one day after the New England Patriots re-signed Moss to a three-year contract worth $27 million.

If you're Bill Parcells and you had the chance to get Brett Favre in a Dolphins uniform for the right price, would you?   I most certainly would. He proved last year he can still play with the best. Let Josh McCown and John Beck battle for the #2 spot, while Beck gets another year's grooming behind a future Hall of Famer.

I don't believe this one. Why would Brett Farve come back, only to leave Green Bay? First off, it would betray a bunch of Farve fans. Second, the Packers were a team who got to the NFC Championship, and are young. They'll be better this year. If Farve comes back, I don't think he would be back as anything but a Packer. This would make no sense if it happened.

NO MORE OVER AGED QB'S IN MIAMI!!!!!!
It would call for a trade, and because of his age it just isn't worth it.
BRETT STAY RETIRED!!!!!!!

This rumor has already been shot down. Both by his agent and people close to him.

Heck, even his #1 fan, Peter King, has reported that this is completely bogus.

But, by all means, let's get all worked up because some shitfaced reporter pulled a story out his ass instead of doing some real research.

He might SAY this is completely bogus, but the fact remains that he has not filed retirement papers with the league.

I thought his number one fan was Jtex?  Wink

Actually, I thought it was John Madden.

I don't want Favre in Miami.  Period, point blank.

Seriously, Tommy?  You'd bring his old ass in here to play on this shitty team?  Why?  So he can retire in a year and start over again?

Now if Favre stayed and Brady retired, then Jtex's head might be the lead role in Scanners sequel.

Of course.  He might do post retirement stuff.  Maybe he'll go on network telivision and call games.  Maybe he'll become a coach.  Maybe he'll get on the lecture circuit.  His agent negotiates all that.
