You know I heard last week that even though Favre announced his retirement in a tearful press conference he has not yet filed his retirement papers with the NFL. I thought it was just simple procrastination on the part of Brett Favre......then I find this on the blog>>>>>

Favre not finished?

You knew it was coming ... So here it is: Brett Favre, less than a month removed from having retired, is contemplating a comeback.
Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times has the story.
According to NFL sources, Favre's agent has quietly inquired with teams about their interest in trading for the three-time NFL most valuable player.
Favre, 38, has yet to give written notice of his retirement to the league or the players' union, although that's neither required nor irrevocable. It's also not uncommon for players to delay in doing so, particularly if they are not in immediate need of their pension money.

Farmer's sources say that the lack of a real run at Randy Moss contributed to Favre's retirement. Where could Favre go? Minnesota would seem to be a perfect fit, but Green Bay would never trade him there. The loaded up Jets perhaps? Or Baltimore?
See, saying this is all well and good. Finding a better situation than Green Bay's might be a little tougher for Mr. Favre.

What an ass!!! The only team in the NFL, that has a chance of winning a Super Bowl,with the addition of Farve,is Greenbay.

If thats true then it's stupid on Farves part. Personally I think it go a long way towards straining his relationship with Green Bay and it may even get to the point where Green Bay fans start saying stuff they'll later regret like "Sal Palantonio was right."

I think it's pure BS....I think it's the media just trying to stir things up since he hasn't filed his papers. Do you really think he would play for anyone else??? Come on....

I believe that some people are speculating that Favre may even come back to the Packers (explaining why the Packers vs Vikings is the MNF opener), just like some people are speculating that the Bears will finalize a trade for McNabb soon (explaining why the Bears are kicking off NBC's Sunday Night coverage in '08).

I think the latter is more likely...but it is interesting that the Packers have yet to sign any backup QB (as far as I know).

Who knows about this one? If I had to guess I would say the chances of him coming back are slim to none and slim just left town.

But only Favre really knows at this point. But whats going on between his ears is anyones guess.

Just cause the agent calls about trade possibilities, doesn't mean Favre himself is interested.

I would welcome Favre back. He is human and I seriously doubt the Packers fans will hold it against him.

Really??? You sure about that?
What if Gibbs came back and coached for say the Giants?
