Favre's 19 seasons in the league have been filled with more touchdowns, interceptions, drama, retirements and unretirements than any other quarterback in NFL history. Often brilliant, sometimes frustrating, but never boring, Favre seemed to always be in the limelight, whether as Packers icon or would-be savior of the Vikings and Jets.
In Minneapolis, early this morning, The Star Tribune's Headline was "Bret Favre Announces Final Retirement."We all know about the previous two times he's announced this without any indication of coming back, that he was retired officially. We've been through the Brett Favre Roller Coaster full of tears, lies, rumors, and eventually bliss with his sudden returns. One thing that I can tell Vikings Fans truthfully from what I've heard today surronding Brett Favre is that there is as much chance that Brett Favre is actually retired as there is a chance that His Wife isn't hot!!! Slim chance, right! Everyone is skeptical of the "official retirement announcement" by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Ryan Longwell, his teammate for nine seasons [counting this when when he comes back] has said that he talked to him yesterday and there was no indication of Favre retiring, and that he never received a text message like when he "retired" with the Jets and Packers. Has the silverfox finally succumbed to his ankle pain.stiffness and called it quit for goods? Or he he just trying to get 20 million instead of the 13 million guaranteed he has for this year like the other top quaterbacks[Tom Brady And Drew Brees]? Brett has tweeted and texted many times that his ankle is bothering him and that his ankle is the only thing that's stopping him from returning to the Vikings organization. Even at the ESPYS he declared that his ankle wasn't at the point where he wanted it. Does this mean the misery for Brett Favre and the Shoe-in Vikings this year for the Superbowl in Dallas. It is and it isn't. It is, becasue T-jack is unexperienced and not clutch in pressure situations, as displayed in the 2008 playoffs vs the Eagles[Asante Samuel 74 pick-off for a touchdown to give the Eagles the lead at Half].

Say it isn't so, oh wait it probably isn't true!
Are You Serious?Brett Favre Retirment Announcement:
Here's A Video of the live report:
Brett Favre Retiring? Playoffs? are you talking about no playoffs?!
WHY THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!!
- He's Still Alive: What else is BRETT FAVRE going to do besides play football for the Vikings and win the Superbowl. Ahh, let's see, mow his lawn with his John Deere Riding Lawn-Mower, play with his kids, Go Fishing, Watch the Vikings win the Superbowl with T-Jack, watch TV, Play golf, Go hunting for bucks, take a walk with his wife, sleep, eat steaks and grill-out, and have sex. Minus the sex part, everything on this list fails in comparison with leading the Vikes to the Superbowl!! This was the storyline for this year, "Brett Favre and The Vikings Return To Win The Superbowl After Devastating Loss to Saints." Not Brett gets pooped and quits!! You've had three ankle surgeries, I'm sure it's fine. at least give Vikings Fans some closure, For real!
- He Still has pure joy for the game: I don't have to go into details on that. Everyone knows that Brett is the most entertaining player to watch in the NFL. Losing him from football is like losing Roger Federer from Tennis, Tiger Woods from Golf, John Madden from Announcing, Kobe Bryant from Basketball, Phi Jackson from Coaching, Lance Armstrong from Cycling, Michael Phelps from Swimming, and A-Rod from Baseball. What to they all have in common? They all are the respectful kings of their sport and play it with pure joy and love. There isn't a figure in sports that is more amicable than Favre. Even Green Bay Fans Still Love him unconditionally!
3. He's Getting 13 million Guaranteed this year and a Superbowl: Who's to doubt that the Vikings aren't the favorites for the Superbowl this year if we reacquired Favre, not certainly the Saints [lucky bastards]!
We have no holes in our roster, [except back-up quarterback], and our defense and offensive lines combined are the highest paid, most talented lines in the NFL.Brett can , and still can win a Superbowl if he banishes his impulsive action.
4. His wife renewed her Lifetime Fitness Subscription In Minneapolis: Certainly this is more concrete evidence that Brett is staying in Minnesota and playing with the Vikings than the legitimacy of Brett Favre Saying he's retired. I mean, why else would Deanna renew her subscription? People from the Deep South, as Brett and Deanna are, don't just switch lifestyles to the Midwest and the freezing,snowy conditions for nothing.
5. His teammates will talk him out of it, or he'll realize what he still has in Minnesota: Ryan Longwell, AP, Childress, and all of his friends in the NFL will be sending him texts telling him how good he still is and how they hate to see him go and he'll flop his intent and return to the Vikings.
6. Brett Favre Is Too Good To Retire: C'mon he just came off his statistically Best Season! The man had 32 touchdowns and a 67.5 % complete Percentage. He never had a better season than in 2009, he can't be completely down with his decision even if that's his feeling right now.
7. Bret Favre Is Impulsive: Brett Favre is a guy who lives in the moment. Do you think he actually compared all of the intangibles and opportunities he has or did he just wake up with a stiff ankle and decide in a rush of despair, I can't play this year! He never gave a press conference like the other two times, doesn't that sound odd.
8. He never gave a press conference or his word: The Two previous retirement announcements, he declared it live on television. Adding to this fact, he never told Childress or any of his teammates or friends that He's retiring. Just some unofficial text message to the Media.
9. No Video or tangible evidence. I don't see anybody confirming this announcement.
10. Brett is Unpredictable: We will never know until T-jack steps onto the field under center vs the Saints in the 1st regular season game of the year.
