08:07 AM ET 05.03 | One NFL source insists Brett Favre can't peacefully retire until he finds a way to get revenge on the Packers. He wants back into the NFC North so he can face the Packers twice. The Bears traded for Jay Cutler and the Lions drafted Matthew Stafford. Hello, Minnesota. "Favre can't stand Green Bay," the source said. "He wants to play Green Bay and say, 'I told you so.' His bitterness is creating this. I think he's calling Minnesota. I think Minnesota is talking about this as we speak. You haven't heard the end of Favre. No way. He is bionic. As long as somebody will let him in, he will play."

Is this day 4 or day 5 in a row now with Favre stories?

May 3, 2009  08:12 AM ET

4 lol

(long drawn out sigh)..............you just couldn't be content on being a hero to an entire fan base and community;you have to be the foil too. To me this is high treason.

I think he likes the drama,,,,,, might just have a tad too much ego involved in this.

Last year we had a story a day for weeks, like the sunrise....I expect this year will be no different.....and the stories keep getting sadder and sadder. This guy is like a ghost who can't rest in peace and keeps haunting us. I think we need to do an exorcism, is there a priest in the house?

another thought would be his agent, or his wife keeps telling him to play because he's so good. Likely looking for one last big payday.

May 3, 2009  08:40 AM ET

And I can't stand Brett Favre. That counts for a story, right?

May 3, 2009  08:41 AM ET

yep

May 3, 2009  08:42 AM ET

They'll beat this into the ground, just like last year

I say another 12 days on T&R. Maybe until August though when he finally does sign with someone all out of shape and stuff.

In June it'll be Plax

May 3, 2009  08:51 AM ET

July thru training camp it'll be TO, Plax, Vick, Cutler, Stafford, and Sanchez.

Still waiting on the Sanchez Baby Mama coming forth with a kid from the loins of some yet un named USC coed

He hasn't been the same since Cindy Williams dumped him for the Big Ragu.

Funny thing is, when everyone gives this post the hits it needs to stay alive, they will continue to post stories like it. It only makes sense to post something that EVERYONE will write multiple comments on.

May 3, 2009  09:08 AM ET

must be cause we're bored as hell?

May 3, 2009  09:08 AM ET

the sun just came up out here, i'll find better things to do today

May 3, 2009  09:16 AM ET

Who cares. He is done. He needs surgery to play again anyways. And even then, it will not matter. His play off record the last 10 years is abysmal. Why would any team want him now? Even the Vikings.

May 3, 2009  09:16 AM ET

brett needs to just give up. hes 40. he has to realize that nobody likes him anymore and no one wants him in the league

It would appear that the Vikings may disagree with you...
