Thank God. Football wouldn't be the same without him. I respect him more than any other pro athelete ( maybe with the exception of Lance Armstrong )

Man, Favre is just desparate for attention -- he was ALWAYS coming back. I feel bad for the family problems he's had, but he and everyone else knew he was going to be back next year.

I hope he plays very poorly against the Lions next year.

I bet Favre plays at least 5 more years, unless either he has a serious injury, or an awful season.

Christ, another season of the media constantly wondering if this is the final year. Which has been happening for what, five years now or so?
I like Brett Favre a lot, and I hope he plays until he isn't able...but this constant retirement speculation is asinine. If I were him I'd put out a statement that until my production tanks, the media should consider me a permanent part of the NFL. |

To be fair to both Favre and the media, there was a legit chance he would retire this offseason. The overriding factor was his wife's health (and that's why he waited). Last week they got some very good news on his wife's cancer treatments and she looks to be recovering well. That's what made him come out and say he'll play. My guess is now he will play another 2-3 seasons. But, if his wife wasn't recovering well enough, I could have seen him hang it up this offseason.

Im glad he is coming back just because he is fun to watch. Always seems to kick my Lions asses though.
When he is gone I will NOT miss the stories about how he recovered from his addictions, bla bla bla. Nice story and all but not EVERY game. |

This guy has posted so much, his fingers are about to fall off.

This was never in doubt. The guy has said he would never leave his team in a bad position, and not announcing until all of the FA QBs are signed would certainly be just that. He was always coming back. When he's done, he'll either announce it toward the end of a season, or immediately after. Or at least, the rumor will be out there and the team will act accordingly, even if he hasn't made it public. It will be obvious.

Nice to know that John Madden can masturbate all over him from the booth for at least one more season.
