Will Brett Favre retire?
January 31, 2010
Heeere we go again.
In what has now become an annual tradition in the NFL, football fans will once again wait for Favre’s decision on whether he’ll walk away from football and retire or if he’ll give it another shot once we crown another champion at Super Bowl XLIV.
For the fourth straight year, (or fifth… probably…) Brett Favre will talk to his family and decide if giving it another go next season is ”the right thing to do.” But as of this writing, Favre says his return for another campaign is ”highly unlikely.” And in case you were wondering, yes, you heard that one from him before.
”Just wondering if I can hold up, especially after a day like today,” Favre said after throwing for 310 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday in their loss to the New Orleans Saints. ”Physically and mentally. That was pretty draining. I am going to go home, a couple of days and just talk it over with the family.”
In case you didn’t know, Brett Favre has been contemplating on retirement for years. Heck, the guy ALREADY RETIRED, TWICE, but decided to come back anyway. He came back to play for the New York Jets after his first retirement then retired again after missing the playoffs only to come back last August to play for the Minnesota Vikings.
With Favre once again at that time of the year, can we get an answer now?
”It’s still early. Way too early. Brett is liable to change his mind five, 10 times down the road,” Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian said. ”He already knows that we want him back. It’s more or less letting him go off and do his thing.”
I wonder if Berrian really wants Favre back or if he’s just going with what the rest of his teammates want. You see, Berrian was the Vikings’ no.1 receiver last year. When Favre got into town, he was relegated to no.3 since Favre would always look for Sidney Rice first, then Percy Harvin.
If the loss to the Saints was Favre’s last game in football, then Vikings fans will always remember Favre for giving up an interception in the dying seconds of the 2010 NFC championship game that ultimately cost them the trip to Super Bowl XLIV.
”I probably should have ran it,” Favre said. ”I don’t know how far I could have gotten. But in hindsight, that’s probably what I should have done. I don’t know how many yards we needed for a field goal, but I knew we needed some. I was just late to Sidney (Rice).”
It was. That’s why we have the Saints going up against the Indianapolis Colts in Miami.
