Brett Favre Announces Retirement, Again
Favre Says He Won't Return in 2011
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre has done it again: he has announced his retirement from football. Favre, who might as well be called "the boy who cried retirement", said in August, "I can promise you this: Not that I have ever set out as a goal to play
20 years, it's 20 years and I'm done. This is the last year of my
contract." But the NFL network just had to ask Favre one more time on Thursday. Is it true? Will Brett Favre really not return in 2011? Favre's answer was, of course, "No."
This isn't really an announcement per se. It is more of a reiteration, as ESPN.com puts it. And this time, there is not too much reason to doubt that Favre will stick with his decision. He is 41, has two fractures in his ankle, has elbow tendinitis, and is playing for a team that currently has a 3-5 season record. Not to mention all the Jenn Sterger drama that has tarnished Favre's public image in the eyes of many. But maybe none of those things matter to Favre; better put, maybe none of those things is a reason why Favre really might not return in 2011. Maybe he's just done with this part of his life.
Coincidentally, Sterger, who allegedly received lewd messages and photos from Favre, met with the NFL on Thursday and provided the league with what Sterger's agent calls "substantial materials in our possession." The league may end up disciplining Favre if the evidence shows that Favre did anything wrong.
