Brett Farve rethinking retirement

[simeon]

I definitely hope this was just rumor and not true, but I wouldn't put it beyond Farve to come back if theres records for him to break. Farve isn't fulling me with the I just want win attitude, he has been in this for the records for a very long time.

Why wouldn't he just go back to Green Bay then?

[simeon]

Like I said I hope this is a false rumor the only thing that would motivate him is to break a record, not to win a championship as those days are way behind him.
Brett has wanted out of Greenbay for awhile now.

Brett has wanted out of Greenbay for awhile now.
 
Can you elaborate? Is it the weather? The management? I thought he was Green and Yellow at heart..........

[simeon]

Last year he demanded a trade after Greenbay did not persue Randy Moss.
I find it odd he announced his retirement when Greenbay did not persue Moss and the Patricheats signed him again. This man has been playing the media for years.

Two things I expected to happen and only one has...

Tommy saying he would bring him to Miami and a JTEX rant.

[landlocked]

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

i heard a guy on fox sports bring up the fact that filing one's retirement papers is only about starting to receive one's pension and brett doesn't need the money yet.eddie george didn't file his for a long time, in fact,i'm not even sure he ever has.
 favre is way over the hill and the only team that would be interested is the packers.and the way he fudged every year and basically held them at bay whether he was or wasn't coming back,i can't see them really wanting him back.they are a good young team and need to move forward with aaron rodgers at the helm.

Am I one of many people that is getting real tired of the Bret Farve stories

[ARamsFan]

If Packer's backup Air-on Rogers would have retained the starting QB position last year, I thought the Packers would've done even better than they had. Favre would just as well be a great vet backup player/coach to McCown, IF the Fins went with the WCO. Butt hel, neither situation is one of reality. With all the changes in Finfanland, you can only look forward to new things to come

It appears Brett Farve keeps changing his mind, I guess he loves playing the media and football fans.

If the Green Bay Packers are ravaged by injuries this season, Brett Favre might consider returning should the team reach out to him.

“It would be hard to pass up, I guess,” he told the Biloxi (Miss.) Sun Herald. “But three months from now, say that presents itself, I may say, you know what, I’m so glad I made that decision. I’m feel very comfortable in what I’m doing and my decision.

“Yeah, I can probably be up there doing that and playing, but again, I don’t know. It’s only speculating. I think the world of that team. I had a lot of fun, not only this year, but over my career.”

But if Aaron Rodgers went down with an injury?

“Aaron has fallen into a great situation,” Favre said. “And if that opportunity presented itself and they did call, it would be tempting. And I very well could be enticed do it.”

Favre understands the kind of challenge he would face should he opt to go back to the NFL after ending his record-setting 17-year career. And he made it clear he is not changing his mind at this time.

“But to think that if they called me in October and told me, ‘Hey, we need you this week.’ That would be hard,” Favre said in a story that appeared on the paper’s Web site on Tuesday. “I’m sure mentally, I would be refreshed. I’d be away from it for a long time. But mentally versus physically, the last thing I’d want to do is go up and it’s ‘Oh this is great’ and all that stuff and me be excited and then just flop.

“You just can’t show up and play.”

There has been a steady flow of speculation that Favre would have a change of heart in the wake of the March 4 announcement the league’s only three-time MVP was retiring.

“I guess the best response would be, right now no,” he said of a possible return to the game.

Favre added he would not return unless he was in shape.

“It would be hard to go up there at 38. It was hard to stay in shape. I say that, I worked out and I worked out hard,” he said. “Week in and week out, I was just drained. Finally, for the first time, I felt, not that 38 is old, but I looked around at practice and these guys are bouncing around. And I practiced every day and all the time people would ask me … `How do you do it? Inside I’m saying, ‘I have no idea.’ It’s a struggle.”
