If it means another season ending in heartbreak for Favre and the team he plays on, then I'm all for it.

Is all this retirement business really about retiring for him, or is it a means to keep the guys from ESPN coming over to his house during the off-season so that he doesn't get lonely?
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
He may very well retire and un-retire a few times in the off season. We won't know for sure until late August

The Vikes should've drafted a better QB.
No, it's true this time. He reports to the Birmingham Barons tomorrow to begin his baseball career.

So I'm gonna go with September 1st for his un-retirement.
Go Gators!
He'll sign with the Bears in about a month, then finish his career with the Lions at the age of 48, thus completing his circuit of the NFC North.
And THEN it's on to the Globetrotters.

Only 1 more fake retirement and Favre ties current record-holders Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair.

I hope he stays. I'm a big Favre fan myself, but that's just me. His body will force him to stop eventually, though.

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
As an aside, if this really is the final "real" retirement for Favre (and not a ploy to skip the first few weeks of training camp as I suspect it is), then the Vikings really screwed themselves by not acquiring a more capable backup in the offseason.
They could've had Donovan McNabb, Marc Bulger or Jason Campbell -- and now they're turning over a team that is Super Bowl material to Sage Rosenfels.
I'd be working the phones quickly to see what it would take to acquire someone like Kerry Collins -- because Rosenfels isn't starting-QB material.
