Just a day after multiple reports had us thinking fourty-year-old NFL great Brett Favre might be retiring for the third time, new reports are telling us a different story. According to a report from ESPN.com, Favre has told ESPN that he has not made a decision about returning to play with the Vikings this season but that he will continue to play if he can make a healthy recovery from an ankle surgery that he underwent in May. In other words, if Favre's ankle heals, he will play for the Vikings in the 2010 season. According to Favre's agent Bus Cook, Favre will meet with his doctor next week to learn more about his physical condition. According to a report from Fox Sports, Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe said on Tuesday that "'He [i.e., Favre] told a couple guys on our team he's going to retire," but Favre says that he never sent any text messages to Vikings teammates saying that he would be retiring. Whatever the case may end up being, Favre has already established himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time; indeed, many consider him to be simply the best QB ever. Plenty of fans would like to see Favre return for another season, including at least some members of the Vikings. But the truth of the matter is that it has been a great run for this NFL great, regardless of what happens. Vikings coach Brad Childress said, "It wouldn't surprise me one way or the other, whether he elects to play
or whether he elects to retire. I think all of us
can live with it either way. The big thing is that he is at peace with
it.'' (Sources: espn.com, msn.foxsports.com)
