Favre to Retire...Maybe

According to reports, Brett Favre has decided to retire. Nothing is official yet, but then again, is it ever official with Brett Favre?

In 2007, after his 16th season with the Packers, Favre decided to hang it up in an emotional press conference. He then decided to return to the Packers, but he had not met his former team's timeline for a decision, so the Packers had already moved on to quarterback Aaron Rodgers. That situation, of course, set off the nasty breakup between Brett and Green Bay.

Then, after playing the 2008 season with the Jets, and amid speculation that he would suit up for his long-time archrival, the Minnesota Vikings, Favre said he was done with professional football but changed his mind again and joined the Vikings after they began training camp.

So, needless to say, I am not convinced one bit that Brett Favre is going to retire, even if this goes official. The man breathes football, and the whole reason for his flip-flopping the last few years is that he doesn't know what to do with himself when he is not on the field. One would think he has to retire eventually, and I could be wrong, but I don't think he is ready to hang it up just yet. However, he is a grandpa now, so that could be influencing his decision.
