    I'm going to buck the odds and say he unretires this Friday. That way people will talk about him doing something different for a while. When that interest starts to fade, he'll not show up at camp, leading to even more talking. He'll then send out a note to ESPN about a major announcement the night before the regular season kicks off, which will be about his new product endorsement.

    That annoucement will be an hour-long special on ESPN, hosted by Jim Gray.

    It's not that I loathe Brett Favre, it's just that I so passionately despise him.

    I'd like to get Rosie's thoughts on this.

    It will soon be revealed that as part of a new contract for this season between the Vikings and Favre, the Vikings proposed new stadium will be called "Brett Favre Field" and Favre has agreed to go in to the HOF as a Viking.

    Someone in Favre's family told a Mississippi media outlet that the veteran QB hasn't made a decision.

    But after Tuesday afternoon's practice, tight end Visanthe Shiancoe confirmed Favre had informed some teammates of his intentions.

    "He told a couple of guys on the team that he is going to retire," Shiancoe said. "He hasn't told me yet. I'll go in and check my phone right now..

    It should be noted that last year he told the Vikings he was retiring. Then he changed his mind.

    I've got it figured out. He's retiring from the NFL but practicing with the high school kids because he wants the starting job back from the kid in Kiln.

    The kid in Kiln (his nephew) signed with Mississippi State :D, so that job in Kiln should be wide open at the moment.
