I would agree I would hate for him to take any flack being the standup class act he is...

I truly believe he made the correct decision to walk away at the right time. All this is going to do is make for too much controversy and negativity and Farve has always been a stand up guy. That would go a long way to diminishing that I think.

I agree - if he wasn't prepared emotionally or intellectually at the time to make a clear decision, he should have waited. But then, if he waits, he gets raked over the coals by the media and press and public opinion because he is dragging the situation out. Either way, it's not really a win-win situation for him

Perhaps he should have called Michael Scott in order to facilitate a win-win-win situation.

Good stuff Ape...

I heard he's slightly embarrassed to want to come back because of all the tears he shed at the press conference.

I really think these guys need to stick to their decisions.

Ape is the biggest Brett Farve and Packers fan I know, so I think I'll agree with his opinion on this.

Huge Packers and Brett Favre fan and I think he should stay retired for the following reasons:
1. He said he was retired, he should not go back on his decision
2. While I still believe he has at least one more solid year left in him, I don't think it's worth it
3. He probably hasn't been training and working out and at his age, if he hasn't been, he will be in no shape to start
4. He has nothing left to prove

While I'm not at all surprised that he has that extremely strong pull to want to come back, he has to know that it is not the right decision. But, after all, who can really blame him? He spent 17 years in the pros, as well as playing college, high school, and youth football. He has basically spent his entire life around or involved in the game of football. I don't think it is fair for people to criticize him for having that desire to come back because he is quitting, cold turkey, something that he has known intimately his entire life.

I honestly don't even get why it's news or what the fuss is over. It seems perfectly normal that he would have this desire and even if it was acted upon (i.e. he was allowed to go back to the Packers - which is doubtful, or he was traded - even more doubtful, does that really matter? And if he fell flat on his face (which is more likely by going to a new team) - who cares? He is still going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Personally, I would hate to seem him come back, but I did not read anything in the article that said that he was, so I'm not too worried about it. He has an "itch" to play again - good for him. I have a desire to do a lot of things, but it doesn't mean that I do them and they are definitely not news worthy. What next, Favre has a desire to go fishing and ESPN decides to report on it? It's the silliness that is sensationalistic news.

mikeo75 — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:08:27 -0000

Now they are saying the Packers don't want him back...so he wants to be released.

Come to the Cardinals Brett! :)

I'm sorry, but he deserves more than to be a walking cliche. He should stay retired.

You had a good run, Brett. Don't ruin it.

There's no question he can still play, but really, it's probably time for him to go. Plus, I'm a fan of once you retire, stay retired!

I think he should return so he can have a farewell tour and it would effectively kick Ted Thompson in the nuts, also good.
