He's done he could play another year and probably put up good stats again, I don't know how many more hits he can take... Think he 'll call it a day

Favre WILL be backComment -
He'll say heks done until he spends some time at home with his wife and he realizes how bored he is.Comment -
Yeah he is def going to retire. I think he feels so bad about losing the game that he just wants to get out. He took some big hits to and I think hes tired of all that pain. Got to say hes a pretty tough guyComment -
He's been losing games like that for most of the last decade.
He's been in the NFL for 20 years, he wouldn't have made it if he couldn't handle pain.
As for Favre's wife and family, he's been through that process every year for the past five years or so. He keeps coming back. There's no way this guy will retire until his body simply gives out. As history has shown, this guy is tougher than a cockroach. He'll be back next season.Comment -
He'll retire and come back mid-season. What a goof.Comment -
what a thread!!!!
Comment -
as much as i dont think he should got to agree with some posters best chance for SB is right where hes at if he can make it thru another greuling seasonComment -
i hope he returns!!Comment -
Farve rocks!!!Comment -
give me $100 on the yes he'll be back!!Comment -
99 percent yesComment -
Pat Reusse a long,long time reporter at The Minneapolis Star Tribune and commentater on KSTP am 1500 who declared ahead of time last year he was coming to the Vikings said that Favre and another Viking bought a hunting shack in Minnesota for what that's worth.Favre makes enough $ in about a minute of a game to buy a hunting shack.I have one and don't even hunt much anymore.It's a Minnesota thing.Comment -
My money is on a returnComment -
He wants to go out on top..he already said..He comes back after emotions etc fall..Comment -
You guys have no clue about this guy.. Not being mean here at all.
I have several sources close to him, including his dumb brother, Darrel Bevel, and Frank Winters. #4 is an absolute great guy on the field, grit, tough, smart. Off the field is where he is a POS.
If it were not for Ron Wolf and Don Majkowski he would never played a career like this.
However, as the media hyped and hyped him up, so did his head. The last 8 or so years it has been all about #4. Loves the attention and takes advantage of it. Is it wrong, no, but you are never better than the TEAM. He has his own office, locker room, and does little with other players, like he would do in the old days.
He was blessed with a great arm, big hands, and over time the knowledge of a great system. Why did he fail in NY? System. Vikings run the same system as he did with the Pack, so it was easy for him. Plus I think this years Minn. team was probably the most talented he has ever been on.
He has all the stats for sure. He will tell you they do not matter, but do not be fooled. They do. Championships are team things and he has made some of the biggest blunders in those types of games I have ever seen.
You will never take the gunslinger out of him. It is ingrained like animals instincts. Leroy Butler, a friend, not mine, gives a whole different aspect of this guy. Self absorbed and distant.
Now, the original ? Retire or not. NO. It is all he has. Sure the $ and endorsements but he will be back. Why not? Kurt Warner has his priorities right. Family and 7 kids to tend to. #4, nothing but foots.
His mistakes in GB/Ny game and this past week are 2 of the worst decisions a player could ever make, even at a HS level in this type of game. How many fans, players, management, and bettors did he PERSONALLY fail with those decisions in big games. Think of all the hard work, whole lives, trying to get to that point and have it fail on those passes. Nobody to blame but #4.
May sound like I am a hater. NOT. But those who put him on this pedestal need to think a bit more and scratch below the surface to see what kind of man this is.
See you next year Brett. After training camp of course.Comment -
+240 He Returns. The vikings have a good team and have a good chance to go to the Super Bowl. I don't think Brett can resist the chance to win another Super Bowl.Comment -
he will be back.Comment -
I hope he returns! Favre rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Comment -
He lost the 95 nfc championship on the road to come back with a stacked team and won the super bowl, yeah that was when he was 26 but charma?? Gotta punch ap in the mouth so he dont fumble and fix up that d, imagaine favre on the team last yr of he played like this yr, i think he would have won the super bowl.Comment -
I'd probably put it at
-190 retire
+170 to return
I still think he'll return eventually though.Comment -
He returns -260 retires +200Comment -
Great Take Nobshine!Comment -
He's 40 years old. He doesn't feel like doing a damn thing in the offseason. He will probably come back, but he might not show up until the day of the first game.Comment -
I want him back, I think the Vikings Play the Jets next season!!!Comment -
I just got word he turned down a job in hometown cause he plans to be in Minn come sept!Comment -
If he returns, it won't be at least until preseason begins.Comment -
You fellas are the reason why this shit headlines SportsCenter and NFL live the whole off season. I hope he says he retiring this week so they won't talk about this the whole year. I don't mind him while the season is going, but this off season shit is getting ridiculous.Comment -
70/30 he is backComment -
80/20 he will be backComment -
100/0 he returns. With that defense? He'd be crazy not to come back to hand off to AP.Comment -
I bet he comes back he had a great yearComment -
