Favre is done.

[scarp]

I can see him saying this to throw people off, but I don't see him coming back again after surgery

[scarp]

He would've had his surgery 2 months ago if he wanted to come back

[elgreco]

I'm sure Favre's ankle will miraculously heal on its own once OTAs and training camp ends.

[elgreco]

The fact is that he has singlehandedly lost three playoff games in three years with INT's. He is that bad.

Two fumbles by AP, Three if you count the botched handoff on the goal line that should be credited to AP, Six total fumbles by the whole team... and it was Favre who "singlehandedly" lost the championship??

Please...

[HoldEmHook!!]

Farve is a true football player........it was his style of play that got those teams in those critical games you say he lost.......there does come a time for all players to retire, its easy to pile on something socialy popular just to sound ubber intelligent, and some on here will agree. Farve was exciting to watch and he was a true football player that played QB....they dont make them like that anymore.....he will be missed. Big Daddy you of all people surprise me with your stance

[THEGREAT30]

He will be back, good day

[1UP]

He would've had his surgery 2 months ago if he wanted to come back

And he would have had shoulder surgery 6 months earlier LAST year if he wanted to come back and play for the Jets again. What's your point? Favre doesn't want to go through the motions of OTA's and summer camps, as he's made obvious the past 2 seasons. He's just stalling so the recovery time keeps him off the field until the pre-season.

never say never

[Zubi]

Stick a fork in him.

[jon13009]

Wait till the season get here. You just never know about Favre.

[ijrod21i]

He reportedly told a fellow player he is 100% set on retiring, he just doesn't know when.

This is why Favre is such a Drama Queen. Instead of just saying that he is not sure, he makes a statement like that. "Oh yea, I am definately going to retire. I just don't know when", ehich means the exact same thing as saying that "I'm not sure" but adds all the drama to it. The facts speak for themsleves. He has been responsible for two different teams exits from the playoff in three different years. He threw an INT to set the Giants up in 2007 when he played for Green Bay. He had the ball with a chance to score the go-ahead points against New Orleans last year and turned it over. His late season collapse with the Jets in 2008 has been well documented.

Look what happened to Minnesota last year. The Vikes averaged about 144 yards rushing in games 1-3. That dropped to 98 in games 14-16. Conversely their passing average went from 178 yards per game in their first 3 games to 225 yards per game in their last 3 games. Obviously Minnesota depended more and more on Favre, and less and less on Peterson, as the season wore on. Their turnover ratio went from +8 in their first 6 games to -2 in the last 6 games. They turned the ball over 4 times against the Saints. Obviously the more they depended on Favre, the worse things got. The Vikes started the season 6-0 and finished the season 3-4. Favre was 1-5in the final 6 games of 2008. The proof is there. The longer the season wears on, the more the Drama Queen has to take over the stage. This is why I give Minny very little chance to get to the big game.

Farve will be back three weeks before the season satrts ...

[orangeheaven]

Think he's done. Vikings will not get to the playoffs. Peterson is slowing down, OL cant protect him, Taylor is gone. He really doesnt have a shot this year. Plus the wife want him to retire, after all the hits he got.

If he comes back he will pull an Urlacher, injure in 1st half of the 1st game and be done for the rest of the season, and get his money.

[crazymilkman]

i like him

[madden]

I don't like Favre, but nobody can say he didn't get his mark at NFL history (and NOT by throwing most touchdowns!).
He's that kind of raw, average IQ QB, but the one I'd like to count on if I was playing football. 70% of NFL's teams would be better if Favre were playing for them.
He NEVER gets hurt (look at his 'consecutive games started' count'. Put him on coma and he will get up when the regular season approaches)

But yes, he is old, he won't be better than last season, and, actually, with all due respect to all Favre's die hard fans, he won't make an impact if he comes out of his retirement for the third time in a row (except with the odds, which will be an interesting profit opportunity)

Good comedy, bro!

[BigdaddyQH]

Favre is certainly not the type to come back and not play due to injury. That would have to be one very serious injury to keep him out. Say what you want about him, but he is a fighter. I say he gives it one more shot, fails, and then retires.

[necro]

Like him!

[poker_dummy101]

i like him, blame espn/sportscenter

[Powderguy]

And the clock ticks on and on

[Bannit16]

favre is coming back, there is no way he retires after a season like last year.

[Snowball]

he will retire after he wins another superbowl.
still a top qb better than 90% out there

[will2survive]

not by a long shot

[Brock Landers]

Favre got the living shit beat out of him by New Orleans in the title game, if he comes back after that, he may never quit

[thebayareabeast]

I will bet that he is finished.

[ClimbSomeRocks]

he's coming back... no worries

[Zubi]

Brock there's a difference between throwing a game and getting the shit beat out of you!

[BadNina]

I hope Bret comes back again and has another great year.

[big joe 1212]

he will be back...thats for sure!!!!!!!!

[hoopster42]

He needs surgery on the ankle to play. Doubt he'll get it, his shoulder is hurting too.

100% wrong. he has 1 yr left on the contract and came within 4 points of the super bowl. he will be back. guaranteed.

[Cappy]

Favre isn't done til I say he's done, now grease him up and put him back out there!

[toober89]

yeah he is done...good riddance!

[jennahazeplays]

old man has to quit

[hoopster42]

He reportedly told a fellow player he is 100% set on retiring, he just doesn't know when.

if he truly was or is 100% set on retiring, he would do it now. nope, he's not sure at all. you will see him wearing purple and gold in sept
