The Return Of Brett Favre?

As every football season passes, it seems to be tradition for Brett Favre to agonize over his decision to play again for another season. Of course for the last six years, he always chooses to come back for "just one more season" because he has that itch to win one more Super Bowl.

With the lockout, it appeared that this would be the first off-season where we would hear no peeps from the Brett Favre camp. Guess we might be wrong. Word has leaked out from friends of his that since this season's pre-season won't be long, he believes it would be hard for rookie Christian Ponder to be ready in time for the season. With no established veteran quaterbacks on the Vikings roster (Joe Webb and Rhett Bomar), Brett's friends have leaked out that he believes he could be ready in time for another season. No official word has come out, nor has a large deal been made of this since there are no "Brett Favre tosses football with local high school wide receivers" sightings, but this could be the first steps of another comeback.

Telltale signs could be what the Vikings do in the very short off season. Quaterbacks such as Rex Grossman, Donovan McNabb, and Kerry Collins are all veterans that will be available this off season and have all been rumored to be interested in playing for the Vikings. If one of these quaterbacks signs with Minnesota, then Brett's chances of coming back are diminished quite a bit.

Taking a closer look at Brett Favre, he has no reason to come back. He has rings, he has a hall of fame career, and he owns many career NFL records already. This past season was bad enough with all the news headlines concerning his "sexting" of Jen Sterger. He should retire while he can, rather than see himself as a possible savior of Minnesota.
