**** Brett Favre. Go the **** away and don't come back.

At this point it would be bigger news if Favre announced that he was switching to Levi's.

 

[JackReacher]

OMG!

 

[Starman]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well, that settles it.

I'll believe it when the season reaches October and the Vikings still haven't quietly begged him to come back. Schefter said something about how this is Favre's third retirement.

Hooray for the summer of Favre and LeBron.

Never has retired close to this late though. We'll see what happens. Thought GB would win the North if he came back, now they better or there will be some explaining to do.

I'd think McCarthy will be fired if they don't at least win the division. Expectation should be a first round bye.

Mort, Schefter, Werdell and King spend years sucking Favre off and get torched on his "real" retirement.

Awesome.

 

[Wendell Gee]

Translation: Everyone assumes I'm playing, so no one is talking about me. I'll "retire" to get them talking about me, then I'll "unretire" just before the third preseason game.

 

[EStreetJoe]

What's the over-under for what date he'll "unretire" and what's the line on what team he'll come back to play for this time around? I want to place my bet.

 

[JackReacher]

What are the odds Favre addresses/mocks his on-again, off-again nature in the press release later today?

 

[playthrough]

He's gotta milk it for a couple more commercials, right?

 

[JimmyOlson]

So we can set his return date for either Oct. 11 (at the Jets on Monday Night Football) or Oct. 24 (at Lambeau), right?

 

[Armchair_QB]

I was counting on one more playoff run so we could watch throw yet another franchise-crushing interception.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

He'll be back before week one. Book it.

 

[Gator]

And ESPN has fallen for it again .... hook, line and sinker.

Nah... Sept. 26 against Detroit. Gotta have a preseason game to get ready for real teams, and there's a bye week between the Lions and the MNF game with the Jest.

 

[Boom_70]

Maybe the Vikings will lure Kurt Warner out of retirement.

Look, you can make the argument that this is a very big deal, but I watched a ****ing hour of SportsCenter this morning and not once did they talk about ANYTHING else. That box on the left screen just sat there with the Albert Haynesworth update box and Ryan Howard injury box changing only from three stories away to four stories away.
