Another Favre comeback thread.......
 

SI's Peter King writes that Brett Favre "wants to play football again" and his agent could ask the Packers to be taken off the league's reserve/retired list in the next ten 10 days.

It's the logical next step. King writes the Packers clearly don't want him back, so this would force the issue. They'd have to let Favre play or get rid of him, both of which sound frightening. They could also try one last time to convince him not to play. King believes that ultimately the Packers would take him back, risking the chance they alienate Aaron Rodgers. Another option would be if Favre agrees not to join one of their NFC North rivals. Jul. 7 - 9:55 am et

If this happens and I'm Aaron Rodgers I ask for a trade.

he must miss the boys
a little more than what is normal

I hope he doesn't. The dude's gonna be 38. It's gotta hurt ALL THE TIME anymore.

My opinion of Favre would go down dramatically if he came back.

somebody needs to remove his right hand until he agrees to stay retired...
and then they could sew it back on

Dude, the man is made of different stuff I think he can take it.

Motherfuckin Iron man dude

Why? Jordan did the samething twice in his career.

And I thought less of him because of it as well. However, I cared far less (I'm not much of a basketball fan).

Why would you think less of him though?

Why is he doing this? Does he need the money?

Because I think he's holding his team back, personally. I never had an issue with him taking a while to decide each offseason, but his team has already made preparations for the season without him. The team has been preparing to go into a season with a new QB and, potentially, adjustments in the way the team will play. To me, it's unfair to his team to try and come back at this point.

Admittedly, I don't know that much about basketball, but my guess is that it's far easier to "plug a player in" to a system in basketball than in football.

In his case, I honestly believe it's simply love of the game.

I think if Brett can still play, he should.

Once it's truly over, it's over, and there is no coming back.

I know if I thought I could still play it would drive me crazy to watch a season go by that I was still physically capable of participating in.

As a matter of fact it does drive me insane to know that I'm young enough, and in good enough shape to play, but will never get the chance to play organized football again.
especially after what happened in my HS career.

I'm almost always in favor of old players continuing to play........ as long as they are still good enough to do so. Brett Favre can still play. He's a top 10 QB in the '08 NFL.

Green bay keep a lid on what an asshole he is
another franchise won't
