        <body>The fact that Favre wants to play for the Vikings demonstrates that he was not only overrated as a player, but also as a man. Clearly, he does not care about anything and anyone, apart from himself. What a shame!</body>

        <body>Here's to Favre's return and another playoff loss that's COMPLETELY HIS FAULT: St. Louis '01, Atlanta '02, Philly '03, Minnesota '05, and the Giants '08.</body>

        <body>We all know that Brett is one of the greatest of all-time.  If he still wants to play, then the Packers should let him and welcome him back with open arms.  Sometimes people make decisions in life and then they have a change of heart or mind or something.  Brett is human you know.  For all those that think he shouldn't come back, you have not given one good reason why he shouldn't.  As for the Viking lady, Brett never did lose it so I'm not really sure what you're comment was about.  The Vikings are a sad team and I'll guarantee they will never have it!</body>

        <body>Brett Favre is a Hall of Famer. Green Bay would be stupid not to entertain the idea of a comeback. There are plenty of teams that would give their left nut for a player of his caliber, even at his age. 

Being a lifelong Bears fan, although I despise the Packers, you have to respect Favre. Over the span of his career the Bears have had numerous quarterbacks come and go, combined, none as good as Favre. If GB doesn't want him, the Bears would be glad to have him. Insane cheeseheads : P</body>

        <body>Brett Favre belongs in a Packer uniform.  Ted Thompson's career will be OVER if he continues igorning Favre's request to play.  How would you like to be known as the GM who 1. Gave up a HOF QB for a whiny rookie, thus blowing your Superbowl Chances, or 2. Allowed the Vikes to crush the Pack because they have Favre and not you.  Wise up Thompson - bring back FAVRE before its too late.</body>

        <body>Tom Brady WISHES he could look back and say he won because he was a warrior on the field, and not because he cheated. Bret has no such regrets :D
Hardcore Bears fan here, but I love Bret Favre. Part of a dying breed. Cheats like Brady and S***-talkers like the Vikings and their fans mean nothing. Would love to see Favre back in any of the 32 uniforms, so long as he is indeed back. :D

        <body>He should finish with the team that drafted him.

Memo to Packer Fans:
Your days of division domination are nearly over. When Favre finally calls it quits, the modern-day Packer dynasty will follow suite. The respect for you will be lost until another legend falls into place. The mystique of playing at Lambeau will no longer be an element, as there will no longer be the looming power of a mighty name that can change the course of a contest. Call it the Lombardi-Favre Gap. There is no telling how long it will be until you can be proud and frozen at the same time...


What are you talking about he was drafted by the Falcons? So he should give of the packers and go to atlanta?</body>

  <body>&lt;strong&gt;Brett Favre&lt;/strong&gt; should just end the drama and come back right now. No more rumors, denials, text messages to journalists or canceled golf appearances. We all know he wants to play. Why wouldn&amp;#39;t he? He&amp;#39;s physically fine. And there&amp;#39;s nothing better going on in Hattiesburg, Miss. Favre has to have realized that by now. Yes,&amp;nbsp; he said he was tired in March, but this isn&amp;#39;t a quarterback who was known for having good judgment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every day Favre waits to return causes more of a headache for the Packers. By all indications, &lt;strong&gt;Aaron Rodgers&lt;/strong&gt; has stepped in as a leader in Green Bay. And Packers management supports Rodgers. It was once unthinkable that Favre would force the Packers to trade or release him, but now that seems very possible if he decides to return. Favre is under contract through 2010 and Green Bay isn&amp;#39;t allowed to let him dangle if he says he wants to play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Say Favre does announce he wants to come back, the Packers can&amp;#39;t figure out a reasonable trade and have to release him. Then things get scary. The two most QB-needy teams in the NFL happen to be Green Bay&amp;#39;s two biggest rivals - Chicago and Minnesota. The Vikings&amp;#39; talent at running back and the offensive line is particularly interesting and with Favre in purple the Vikes would have to be considered an immediate contender in the NFC. Green Bay&amp;#39;s worst nightmare is Minnesota coming into Lambeau with Favre at QB and newest Viking Jared Allen injuring Rodgers on the first series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Rodgers, we&amp;#39;re hearing a lot about his arm strength and confidence. But he has to run a West Coast offense for 16 games with opposing defenses having a lot of tape on him. There&amp;#39;s no indication Rodgers is &lt;strong&gt;Steve Young&lt;/strong&gt; waiting for &lt;strong&gt;Joe Montana&lt;/strong&gt; to move on. One good half against the Cowboys is certainly no reason to turn away a Hall of Famer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Packers can&amp;#39;t worry too much about Rodgers&amp;#39; feelings. Teams have a very short window to be great and Green Bay was very close to reaching the Super Bowl last year. Rodgers is supposed to be a tough kid. He&amp;#39;ll get over it. Rodgers, who &lt;a href=&quot;http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1141354/index.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;told Green Bay fans&lt;/a&gt; to &amp;quot;get on board or keep their mouths shut,&amp;quot; in &lt;em&gt;Sports Illustrated&lt;/em&gt; this week, certainly doesn&amp;#39;t want to be the guy who kept Favre from returning to Green Bay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best plan for everyone is for Favre to announce he wants to return right now and the Packers to warmly greet him. Even if Favre isn&amp;#39;t certain right now, that itch is only going to get worse over the summer. And coming back with another team never works. Think of &lt;strong&gt;Joe Namath&lt;/strong&gt; as a Ram or &lt;strong&gt;Emmitt Smith&lt;/strong&gt; as a Cardinal. Brett Favre doesn&amp;#39;t belong in purple, pewter or Seahawks Blue. He belongs in green and gold. Stop putting off the inevitable and bring him home.</body>
