You all sound like all the Play-by-play guys during the Packers losing season. I can't imagine you guys were all upset when Brett was throwing touchdowns last year. And as far as the NFC Championship game Brett didn't lose that with an interception. If memory serves Eli was picking us apart with Plaxico. If we would've stopped even half of those pass plays it certainly would've been a different game. I don't know Brett at all, but I gotta imagine if he could've he would have waited till training camp to make a decision.I gotta tell you though all the speculative chat on here about trades sans-sarcasm sounds even more goofy then the articles they're commenting on. If Brett would've gotten hurt in the first game of last season we probably would not have gotten to the playoffs. I would love to see him return for another season. This is the decision of a lifetime. ( lets see do I play one more year or do I retire and leave a job that has been the focal point of my life for 20 plus years?) sounds like an easy decision HUH?

When will fans realize that as long as the media keeps digging for more, asking what do you thing from people who know Brett, that this will become a topic. He's done - period. He had his fun on Letterman, everyone knows he's a practical joker and was kidding around with Letterman. I suppose somebody, when they start getting thin at contacts, they'll go to Buckley, Don Majkowski, Sharpe, etc. Seems it's already started with asking Butler. It’s the Media Stupid!

Butler's the moron who's out there talking about him coming back. All Brett ever said is that he's going to miss it once training camp starts (on Letterman), and people blew that out of proportion too. I've lived in Green Bay all my life, and I can tell you this: Favre is retired. He's not coming back. He's never said he would come back. He said it would be tempting if the Packers begged him, but that has more to do with his loyalty to the Packers than anything else. He has said several times that he would never consider playing for another team. On another note, has anyone out there read LeRoy Butler's autobiography? The guy must have an IQ of about 50. Butler's a good guy, but he's an idiot. Don't believe crap you hear from him. If the media would just shut up about it, it would all go away. Why are you people ripping on Brett for this?

He did say on Letterman that "...something is bound to happen..." He has a history of playing mind games with the media, and consequently, Packers fans. Until he speaks the words "I AM COMING BACK and/or NO LONGER RETIRED" he is retired. The Packers have placed him on the retired-reserved list, so it is my understanding that they retain his rights, and that unless he reports for is it 1/4 or 1/2 of the season (not sure, might be niether) they retain his rights and he does not get credit served under his contract. I think if he wants to play again, he should say as much, and the Packers should oblige him by doing one of two things: First, they should trade him. To whom, I am undecided, but they should reasonably ask for some pretty steep compensation. He will only agree to be traded to a contender, so even a 1st round pick is not too steep a price to ask, maybe more. Second option, it's clear the Packers are unsold (as am I) on Aaron Rogers...Why draft two viable QBs in the draft unless they anticipate Rogers will struggle. Could they then trade Rogers? Brohm is, in my opinion, the franchise QB of the future in Green Bay. Rogers' performance in Dallas last year notwithstanding, he is injury prone, hs is a Jeff Tedford student, and he really looks like a backup NFL QB...Brohm may not be a Favre but he looks to me more like an NFL QB than Rogers...I would even say that Matt Flynn (God, don't strike me for saying this as I am the loudest anti LSU voice in the state of Louisiana) is at the same level of talent that Rogers is...at least close. Could GBP go Favre-Brohm-Flynn/somebody else then putting Flynn on the practice squad...who knows, but ultimately, Favre needs to say something and say it soon. He has never put the team ahead of his career decisions, and to some extent, he has earned the right. This time, it would be in his best iterest, as well as the interest of the team to SAY ANYTHING...(maybe Mooch will dress up in a trenchcoat and stand outside the Favre property in Hattiesburg holding a boombox above his head playing some 90's angst-anthem hoping Brett will hear it and come running back to GBP.)

The only way Brett can go elsewhere without being the villain is to be traded. Therefore, his rights will be traded while he is retired. Then the new team will make a show of offering him a blockbuster deal to come back out of retirement. It has to be a WARM WEATHER or DOME team that runs the WCO. And needs a QB. I'm thinking Buccaneers. I could've seen the Texans, if Mike Sherman was still there. Although I suppose it's still a possibility.

Yea, right LOL, keep dreaming. No way Brett would go play for Chicago, Minny or Detroit, but Minny would make the most sense as he would only come back to play for a contender, and Minny is the closest team team to being a contender that just lacks a QB. Why would he come back to play for Buffalo or New York? To see if he can win six games?? No way. As I've said before, Brett does his fair share of keeping these rumors alive by dropping stupid little open-ended comments but the media deserves its fair share of blame, as every little non-development in this saga gets headlines on this site and foxsports.com and everywhere.

It’s not Favre’s fault that THE MEDIA WONT LET IT DIE. Let alone Butler, who has a history of shooting his mouth off and starting unsubstantiated rumors.

Favre shouldn’t be faulted because others can’t shut up about it.

People make mistakes. He's still under contract with the Packers, if he wants to play they're obligated to either pay him to do it (or to do nothing) or to let him take his services elsewhere. I think he should play as long as he wants, and as long as someone will pay him (same with any player) because once it's really over, there's nothing else he'd be able to do that even remotely compares.

I mean, they are the ones forcing him out anyway, so what's the problem? Right now, the ball is in Farve's court. He can simply not turn in his papers and then show up for training camp and they have to either cut him, or keep him. If they cut him, he could sign on wherever he wants. It doesn't sound like they want him back, and it seems like the Packers organization is trying to force a legend like Farve to retire, which is a heck of a lot more punk than Farve playing for a different team. So why not let him go to another team that has a legit shot at winning a Super Bowl? Sure, Packer fans would hate it, but other than that, why not? You put a guy like Brett Farve on a team, like, let's say, the Vikings... and that equals a Super Bowl. Wouldn't it be ironic that the Monday night game when the Packers are supposed to be retiring Farve's jersey, that he's on the other sideline suited up to play for the Packers nemisis. Oh, what sweet, sweet irony that would be. lol Maybe Farve hasn’t turned in his papers because he’s waiting for the Packers to release their rights to him.
