Will Brett Favre come back or retire?
March 16, 2010
Did Brett Favre just told Jay Leno he’ll come back?
With still more than a few months left before we get to see what the 2010 NFL football season has in store for us, Brett Favre ain’t budging yet when asked on what exactly are his plans for his imminent future in the NFL.
You see, Brett Favre said that he still hasn’t decided yet on whether he’ll play again next season, and doesn’t expect to make an announcement anytime soon. Well, we can’t say we haven’t heard something like this from him before.
Appearing on NBC’s ”The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” Favre, who played for the Minnesota Vikings last season, politely balked when host Jay Leno asked for his thoughts on returning for the 2010 season.
”Well Jay, it’s only been a month, and I know now that I’m just not going to say anything anytime soon, just going to kind of sit back, relax, enjoy the offseason,” Brett Favre said in his first public appearance since the Minnesota Vikings lost in the NFC championship game at New Orleans back in January 24.
The pride of Kiln, Miss., Favre is the NFL’s career leader in nearly every major passing category. Hell, the guy’s a three-time league MVP too. The former star quarterback of the Green Bay Packers had one of his best seasons ever after doing what was once unfathomable, playing for Green Bay’s rivals, the Minnesota Vikings.
The Vikings were rewarded with 33 touchdowns and the lowest interception rate of Favre’s career. But Minnesota’s loss at New Orleans left the 40-year-old battered. He said afterward that his decision probably wouldn’t take months and that his main concern was whether his body could hold up for another season.
Asked if that defeat still upsets him, Favre told Leno, ”I think it will for a long time.” Despite that, he still managed to put a positive spin on his season with the Vikings.
”Obviously had we gone to the Super Bowl that would have been the icing on the cake, but it was way better than even I could have dreamed of,” Favre said. ”I’ve told people I really believe my biggest accomplishment this year was winning over the majority of the Vikings’ fans. For so many years I was hated.”
Favre changed his mind about retirement in both 2008 and 2009, joining the Jets for the 2008 season before signing with the Vikings last August. I won’t be surprised if Favre does the same thing heading to the 2010 campaign.
