NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Brett Favre says it is all rumors on his return to the NFL

The rumors have started that Brett Favre is coming back.
ESPN reported that an unidentified Packers source said the 38-year-old Favre told coach Mike McCarthy in the past two weeks that he has the itch to play.
“The Packers have no reaction,” team spokesman Jeff Blumb told The Associated Press.
Favre’s agent, James “Bus” Cook, didn’t return a message seeking comment. Packers general manager Ted Thompson and McCarthy were on vacation.
Favre retired March 6 after a 17-year career.
Even Al Harris, the Packer’s cornerback said Brett would come back. Al then added a little to spice it all up.
“Aaron is our quarterback,” Harris said. “Brett’s retired. But if he wanted to come back, there would be some guys who wouldn’t mind it. I would welcome him back with open arms.”
Don’t look now, but Brett will lose his consecutive game streak, plus the 12 and a half mill per year they were paying him.
Aaron Rodgers, the heir apparent, has had enough of all the Brett talk.
“I don’t feel I need to sell myself to the fans,” he said in the article. “They need to get on board now or keep their mouths shut.”
Not the best way to get the ball rolling, heh?

I think as a career move, it would be a bad idea to return, what if he has a terrible season, wouldn’t look so good on the resume.

true, but the Pack will have a great young aggressive defense. If Brett could just play normal they win the division. Then, who knows?
