The NFL season has been over for a couple months and we are still waiting to hear from Brett Favre. I was just wondering if he has decided to play another season or if he is going to retire AGAIN. I guess it doesn't really matter if he retires now or not. He might play next season anyway. It wouldn't be the first time, or the second time for that matter. That is another NFL record that Brett Favre owns, even though it isn't talked about much. He has the most retirements and unretirements in NFL history.
His first retirement was from his team of 17 years, the Green Bay Packers, at the end of the 2007 season. He finished the season by throwing an interception against the NY Giants in over time of the NFC Championship game. They were just one game away from the Super Bowl and he still decided to retire. After his first summer as an ex-NFL player, he decided to come back. He wasn't done with football yet. The Packers had already decided on a different quarterback, son Brett ended up playing his 2008 season with the NY Jets.
After playing only one season with the Jets, and with his shoulder requiring surgery, he decided to retire AGAIN. He had the surgery on his shoulder and recovered while enjoying his second summer in a row as an ex-player. But as the 2009 season approached there were several reports that Brett was coming back AGAIN. This time to play for the Minnesota Vikings. At first Brett dismissed the reports as false, but about 2 months later he was, in fact, the quarterback of the Vikings.
Brett had one of his best statistical seasons of his Hall of Fame career with the Vikings last season. But the final game of the season ended on a bad note. It ended with an interception in the NFC Championship, AGAIN. Brett still has not made a decision for the upcoming season. Play or retire, does it really matter what decision he makes now. Everyone knows that he will be back next year. So, I am leaning towards retirement now then unretirement for another season, AGAIN!!
