that he was retiring. All he actualy said was he was considering it. But we all know that he does that constantly. The media wanted to make this into a story.

I know he procrastinates his decisions (as long as possible), and that he definitely hurt his credibility when he actually did retire (twice). But, I think a part of those were political to get out of the situations he was in. Not that it was the right way to handle things, but I would bet there is alot more behind the scenes we don't know about.

I have been a Favre fan since he was first drafted. I wish he had finished his career in Green Bay, but I am more a fan of his than the Packers. Every year I rank the teams from those I like the most to the least, and I was a little surprised how much my ranking of the Vikings and Packers actually changed when he made that move.

I do wish that if he is going to play he would show up for training camp. I think it would help how he is percieved and his legacy alot. I think missing it on purpose sets a bad example for players/younger people. That is one thing I don't like at all. However, I guess if he can get away with missing it, and he still performs the way he did last year, then who can blame him.

I keep hoping he could retire with another Super bowl win, but I have a fear that it will end up being a decisive injury that puts this all to rest.

I guess we will just have to wait and see for the next month or so.
