I like Favre alot but there isn't a more tiresome topic in the NFL than "when will Brett Favre retire?" He's been talking about it for years now, I'm starting to believe that he craves national attention even when he and his team aren't playing well enough to earn it.
Lets get the quotes right. The media have brought it up time and time again. It has only been, as I can recall, last off season that Brett even uttered the word and that was due to his wife's condition on top of every thing else going on. The people who keep replying "Brett has talked about it for years" are wrong on so many accounts.
That aside, I would think any Packer fan would hope Favre makes a QUICK decision this offseason so as not to leave the franchise handcuffed as they try desperately to rebuild.

The media are the ones who keep bring this up, not Favre. But then again I would expect all Favre haters to ignore that fact.
What I haven't seen mentioned here, is the fact that he is due $11 Million this next year. Is he worth that? No not now, but he has restructured his contract many times to help alleviate the cap so they could sign free agents. I know Favre has NEVER been about the money, but I don't see how he can turn this down. He earned it, and deserves it.
If he reels himself in and stops making so many stupid throws, really focuses on changing the "gunslinger" mentality, he could play for maybe another 2 years, definitely one more.
