On Tuesday, it was reported that Favre told some teammates via text message that he was retiring. Favre told ESPN he never sent any such messages.
The Vikings have reportedly offered Favre up to $20 million to return this season, but Favre says money is not an issue, according to ESPN.
NFL Network’s Steve Mariucci, was has mentored Favre, reported Tuesday that the quarterback was undecided. "Right now, he told me, ‘I’m trying to get my body healthy,’" said Mariucci.
On Wednesday, Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, made a statement to Mariucci. "As far as Brett is concerned, in spite of reports to the contrary, Brett’s situation has nothing to do with his contract, but everything to do with his health and ability to contribute to that team and play at a level that he has been accustomed to playing over the years. … Brett’s ankle, which needed surgery since 2007, was surgically repaired this last spring by Dr. James Andrews. Until such time, Brett feels he can play at a level that he expects of himself, no decision will be made.
"Brett has an appointment to see Dr. Andrews next week and will know more at that time. Brett continues working every day, rehabbing his ankle and will see after his visit with Dr. Andrews what his status is at that time."
In an amazing coincidence, this could also mean that he will be able to return as soon as the Vikings break from training camp.
...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...
I love the man as a living legend of the sport. I love watching him play.
I know it's not cool to like him anymore, but I really hope he returns. If he does, I will be wearing my Vikings # 4 jersey with pride here in Cincinnati.
Favre forever in my book.

Yeah, ESPN's "story" yesterday was a big pile of horseshit... "Sources (unnamed of course) tell us that Farve has sent messages to some Viking players (once again, unnamed), that he's not coming back..."

Yea I watched CNN a bit ago... he's says no not really, he's on again playing.... seems embarrassing and a bit jerky to me...
unless he wanted to retire and they said no no no you don't.

that is the best (and funniest) Brett Favre story that I've ever read
And that girl is a piece of work too. I remember the season that they tried to make her the Jets' "it" girl. They put her on the field with a mike to make promotional announcements and it was a total joke. It was like college radio. Bad collge radio. :roll:

The only reason he does this is to feel important
It would be funny for the Vikings to get fucked though...they are Chumps waiting on his every move
