This is ridiculous. I do appreciate how candid Favre is being. I mean, he said hey, if they were to call, it would be a really tough choice. However, he needs to come to grips with the fact that he is done and realize that he can do that without saying that he is incapable of playing anymore. Every one of his comments seems to have something to the effect of "Hey, I can still play if I have to." It sounds like he is trying to prove something. Hang em up Favre.

See thats the thing, I didn't/don't think he should "hang em up." He had a spectacular season last year and I see no reason why he couldn't duplicate it this year. HE decided to announce his retirement not the Packers or an injury so I have no problem with him changing his mind, at the same time I would have no problem with the Packers saying no thanks Brett we're already moving forward.

See, I would have been fine with him not retiring too. I think that he could have had another great year as well. However, he made the decision to retire and I think if he makes that choice he shouldn't drag it out.

For sure, Brett is looking kinda foolish 2nd guessing himself now, and will look even more foolish should he come out of retirement after an offseason. But if there's one thing we've learned from Brett through the years is he shoots from the hip rarely thinking things through and also he could care less if he does look foolish.
Another thing, the Packers are as much to blame for this situation as well. If the Packers want Brett to come back they should just ask and if they don't they should just squash it now and say they are moving forward without him.
I don't understand what the big deal is. He was asked questions, he answered them. If they needed him to play, he would consider it. It's not like he's saying he will be there in a heartbeat, and he's certainly not campaigning for a comeback.
