I hope he means it this time!

Brett is like the boy who cried wolf! No one believes him anymore! Only time will tell if he's really retired this time.

Agreed.

There are some reports out there now from an unnamed family source that Favre hasn't made a decision yet. He just didn't like LeBron taking all his publicity. lol

Family insider: Brett Favre still mulling retirement decision

Brett Favre has not yet made a decision on whether to return to the Minnesota Vikings for the 2010 NFL season, an unnamed person close to Favre's family told the Biloxi Sun Herald.

Earlier Tuesday, the AP, Fox Sports and Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Favre had informed the Vikings that he had opted against playing.

"Brett has not made a commitment to play or a decision to return at this point," the Favre insider told the Sun-Herald.

Favre's brother, Scott Favre, also spoke to the Sun-Herald. "I have heard no truth to that (retirement)," Scott Favre said. "I know he can still play and I want him to keep playing."

Vikings coach Brad Childress denied after Tuesday morning's practice that Favre had told him he would be retiring. He called the situation "very fluid."

Fox Sports reported that Vikings officials were trying to change Favre's mind and would even consider sweetening the $13 million salary he's set to earn.

Favre, 40, had surgery on his left ankle in May and has consistently said this year that he doesn't know if his body can withstand a 20th NFL season.

Vikings TE Visanthe Shiancoe told ESPN Radio on Tuesday that he believed Favre's retirement talk was not a ploy.

"What I'm hearing is that it is true, that he did decide to retire," Shiancoe said. "But until I hear it from his mouth, I'm going to leave it at that."

Shiancoe added that a potential retirement from Favre would be "a blow to the team" for the Vikings, who lost to the Saints in the NFC title game last year.

I'm beginning to think that Brett Favre is is somehow incapable of making a decision. And it's not fair to the Vikings. How can they prepare properly for the season if they don't know whether Brett is playing or not. I wish Brett would realize that football is a team game and stop being so selfish. :rolleyes:

Oh, I thought this thread was simply "bumped" from about 3 years ago, given the thread title. :)

And from 2 years ago. And from a year ago. It's pretty much an annual thread! :rolleyes:

The NFL/Vikings just dedicated this song to Brett "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind" Favre:

I like how ESPN has been running this story all day and yet nothing has been confirmed from the Vikings or Farve. ESPN has been turned into a tabloid network...first with that LeBron talkfest and now this.

Very true!

So, shall we go ahead and start one for next year, to kind of get a head start on the proceedings?

Todd Shanesy of the Spartansburg (SC) Herald Journal takes ESPN to task (http://campuscommuter.blogs.goupstate.com/12436/morning-brew-careless-journalism/) for overblowing the Brett Favre retirement story.

Brett will be back....

I see ESPN don't have a problem look like a Cable JOke

Brett will be back....

And that's fine if he does end up playing again... we've already started a "Favre to retire after 2011 season" thread elsewhere here in Sports Chit-Chat.
We've gotten a head start on the rest of the world!

They should. That was the biggest nonnews story of the day. Farve never said anything and neither did the Vikings. It was all just rumors. Farve was probably sitting back and laughing at the whole thing.
