I now think he'll be back in the NFL if he gets an opportunity.

I love you Brett. Seriously though. STOP. Retire and leave it alone. We suffered through your 2 or 3 years of anguish over you considering retiring, I don't want to suffer over 2 years of you thinking about coming back.

We know that you LOVE the game and that you can still play. Let's just let your HOF career go... please?

He'll string this out just like he strung out the "will he or won't he" retirement thing for years.... I've never been a fan of Brett Favre.

If your not a fan of Brett Farve, then I dont see how you are a fan of football. Brett plays for all the right reasons and with more passion than anyone that has every played the game.

 

[TheDeparted]

I honestly don't get the sense that he's just looking for attention, but that he's genuinely torn about what to do. Poor guy.

Still, enough is enough. Go coach a Pee Wee team or something.

I can see how you would say that-- though in this case you are wrong. For me, it's just something about his personality that's always rubbed me the wrong way.

I suppose it's just as hard to give up football as it is painkillers.

Seriously, Favre has played football since he was a baby. That's all he has known since he can remember. It's not a bit surprising to me that he is having trouble breaking away from the game.

I think if he would hire on as a scout or consultant, it would help him break away.

He doesn't want to retire. He made a rash decision after a hurtful loss, partly due to past pressures and bad press on his indecision. The man should play as long as he wants to. He has the rest of his life to tool around on the tractor in Mississippi.

He has earned the right to contemplate retirement if you ask me. Funny the people are always tired of hearing about Brett Favre and his retirement decisions and yet they are always the first to post in these threads.

When any of you have to choose between spending time with your family and relaxing or making millions playing the game you love get back to me. Once you have that dilemma on your plate then you can go into the little details like risking your health, how it will impact your team, padding your numerous NFL records, going for another Super Bowl and possibly tarnishing your name.

This is what I think too. He loves football and it's hard for him to give it up...

Farve is just what all of us are with the ability we wish we had. A kid at heart who loves to play and is GOOD at it.

Actually, it's reporters running around asking him over and over again "will you come back?"

Brett gives them an answer, "No," and they come back with senarios that could entice him back, such as this one...

Brett is simply saying, that if the Packers called him, begging him to come back, he'd have to consider it. It's something someone who loves his teammates, fans and coaches would say.

Even in his retirement speech, he said that physcially, he could still play, but that mentally he had nothing left to give.

I don't know how many of you remember John Riggins, but there was a ceremony either honoring the '82 Super Bowl champs or the Redskins move from RFK -one or the other... Anyway, while the rest of the old vets came out in suits or slacks and shirts, Riggins comes running out of the tunnel in his full uniform like he was ready to play that day.

The roar of the crowd was tremendous... and Riggins took a bow.

When asked why, Riggins said, "Because I had hear that one last time..."

No doubt, Favre feels the same...

I'm a huge fan of Farve and he was great for the game. He will be missed. A 1st ballot HOF'er, hands down.

I don't think there's any way he doesn't get inducted in his first year of eligibility.

Javon Walker should tell Brett to go sit his punk-azz down somewhere, we are tired of hearing about your egotistical azz. But he probably won't break the MANLAW like Brett did.

Who couldn't love a guy that leaves the Falcons and pursues a Hall of Fame career? lol
