He hasn't sent in his retierment papers yet he still his two years left on his contract.

I'm sure he will be back this year. The pain killers had worn off when he announced retierment.

Brett Favre, in an interview with "Change My Mind" magazine, once again stated that he is, in no way, coming back to play this year. Before he left the podium however, he fielded a question from a reporter representing the "BumPhack Mississippi Tattler" who asked him if he was going to play this year. Brett's answer was an emphatic "yes."

49er, not filling retirement papers means absolutely nothing, not a thing. All it does is start your severance package. After filing retirement papers a player just can easily unretire as if he never filed them at all. Many players have waited months, sometime over a year to file their papers.

I hope he comes back to the Pack and they go 4-12. Last year was a fluke - they stayed healthy (which never happens), played in a terrible division, and got lucky in close games (Denver, Philly, KC, Washington, etc) until exposed as frauds by the Giants.

I don't NFL players who sign to multi-million dollar contracts and make a gazillion dollars in endorsements should be allowed any type of retirement packet. They can afford anything and everything and if they've squandered their monies, oh freakin' well. Save any severance packet for those in the trenches who beat their bodies up every Sunday and get practically nothing for it. Just my opinion.

Hopefully FanNation will stop updating the story after this...

I wonder if the last interception is weighing on Favre's mind in a Ray Finkelish kinda way.

Considering what the league minimum is for players (depending on how long they're in the league though), don't rant about how players who make millions more playing and in endorsements are somehow more well off. The players making league minimum make more than probably 85% of all other Americans...and those 85% of Americans manage to get by (granted they don't get beat up on a weekly basis for 5 months of the year)

You do know they did beat the Giants earlier in the year right? That they did beat the Chargers (who were 2nd in the AFC). They beat Washington, they convincingly beat the Seahawks.

Frauds I think not. You have the complaining attitude of a lowly Vikings fan.

I didn't say they weren't making a lot more than joe American. They don't get endorsements (unless they are somehow popular in their area and get a local one). Now, they can do a lot with that money. Anyway, I feel the same about Social Security. Some guy makes tons of money and is still eligible for Social Security. There should be a law where if you are soundly financially well off and will be for many generations, your SS goes to a person less well off. Stupid, I know. (Yoda like I talk).

Giv it up Bret..your done!

If hot air were dynamite Favre and Canseco could blow up a bridge !!!

There are those people out there who will be expecting Brett to come back and play even when he's been dead for 10 years. Enough is enough.

"Giv it up Bret..your done!"


Give what up? This isn't his fault..its these dumb ass reporters looking for news in a quiet offseason..

I hope he comes back to the Pack and they go 4-12. Last year was a fluke - they stayed healthy (which never happens), played in a terrible division, and got lucky in close games (Denver, Philly, KC, Washington, etc) until exposed as frauds by the Giants.

A fraud by the Giants? Did you see the game?

he is not comming back. he will stay in mississippi, sorry greenbay. he had a good run but knew it was superbowl or retirement when they started to win at the rate they did. packers you need to get use to mr rogers and his neighborhood running the show.

I'm glad he's done. Although, I would've like to see him get hit hard one more time. I hate cheeseheads.

Did I mention I hate cheeseheads? Farve was overated. People from woosconsin drink too much. I hate cheeseheads.

Hooah: Not that this has anything to do with the topic at hand, but A) Social Security is not voluntary and each individual and their respective employer(s) make payments to SS based on salaries earned during the person's working life and B) these payments are at a higher level because of the millions of people collecting benefits that hardly ever made contributions. The system was never designed to be a retirement system, but more as a compliment to a person's own retirement plan. The point is, if you contribute $30,000 or $30 million of YOUR salary over your working life, don't you think you deserve to get something of it back?

Back in the day when SS was a cash cow for the government, the politicians at hand (in their infinite wisdom) chose to take this additional money and use it for other federal programs lacking funds instead of changing the system over to a more personalized account for each individual and using the rest to fund those who didn't or couldn't contribute. That this was technically illegal, since SS is not a tax, never seemed to bother anyone enough that they changed it or actually returned the money stolen from the American people. Personally, I would support a change to the system the would turn over this government program to professionals who know how to handle money and investments, making it into separate accounts for each person...unless, of course, you trust honest politicians and the government to secure your future.

The whole purpose of this rant is that you and every other person in our great nation has the God-given right to make as much money as we can. We are taxed to death and then pay tax on our taxed income in the form or excise, sales, gas, property and other means of government making money off our labor including the soon to be air and water taxes. Yes there is the argument that this money goes for funding of more and better government programs since we sheep are too stupid to do things for ourselves (blatant sarcasm). I spent almost 22 years working for the federal government and I assure you the government is not the least bit concerned about what and how your tax dollars are spent, only that they ARE spent.

Not that I'm cynical or anything....

The Dolphins are trading their pick to Green Bay pick and Favre will be in a Dolphins uniform for the next two years. BOOK IT!

Broadhead is code for giving head to his prison buddies.
