Cant believe he waited this long to tell them he wasnt gonna come back. I assumed he would be back the whole time. He's such a drama queen.

jayroy25 · 08-03-10, 04:19 PM

I tghink he will play

PDW · 08-03-10, 04:22 PM

Hopefully he is finally done.

Quake · 08-03-10, 04:28 PM

We'll see how long this lasts.. espn blowing this way out of proportion though even if he is done

HustleGetPaid · 08-03-10, 05:07 PM

I'll wait until the 1st game to believe this from Favre.

golfrulz · 08-03-10, 05:09 PM

Manaconda · 08-03-10, 06:12 PM

tshizzle · 08-03-10, 06:55 PM

Of course he's not retiring. Hes just turning sportscenter into favrecenter for the next month just like he has for the last 2 years.

Seriously, God I hate this guy. I am so done with Brett Farve. He is such a piece of garbage. I know he will be back. He hasn't confirmed anything. God forbid he show up and say none of this is true. We have every one commenting that oh, he is just waiting for his ankle to heal. He hasn't said anything.

I HATE YOU BRETT!

While all this is true, he is still as a person, a piece of garbage.

Flying Dutchman · 08-03-10, 08:32 PM

A family contact says he may play.

INVEGA MAN · 08-03-10, 08:37 PM

It is sickening

ESPN just constantly talking about Favre and showing highlights of his career

This is exactly what Favre wants, he is a very sick man and cannot live without attention.

He lost big playoff game last year because he wanted to the hero instead of being a team player

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-03-10, 09:29 PM

Who cares. Just ignore this issue cause all he wants is the attention.

Duby · 08-03-10, 09:31 PM

Its the media that is causing all this shit, its not Favre.

Hope he comes back!

GunShard · 08-04-10, 02:10 AM

Maybe the ankle injury was the nail in the coffin.

bill2266 · 08-04-10, 03:52 AM

dam so now i caint play him in madden 11. just kidding.

fedtpels · 08-04-10, 04:00 AM

don't worry - tarvaris jackson will take over and bring back a ring

IT'S A LOCK!

BarkingToad · 08-04-10, 05:20 AM

I'll believe it after week 5 of the regular season, otherwise it's way too early for him.

Nomocino · 08-04-10, 06:24 AM

Hes a Bullsh*t artist

mighty maron · 08-04-10, 06:34 AM

attention whore he is

The General · 08-04-10, 07:05 AM

I can't believe that football Fans would not want Brett Favre playing as long as possible, esp if he can produce good results. He proved last season, 2009, that he is still a very good QB. Remember that there are barely enough truly talented QB's in the world to fill the league with Winning QB's. QB's who really have what it takes. Favre is still one of those winners at this age and stage of his tremendous career. He is good for the NFL, IMO. Mark me down as a fan and one who wishes he would return for the 2010 season.
