Brett Favre Looking For Revenge Against Green Bay

As sure as you can bank on the Oakland Raiders making a mockery of the NFL draft you can also count on the Brett Favre talk dominating the NFL airwaves once again in the weeks following the NFL draft. It’s something that we should be used to by now and yet the majority of the sporting world is scratching their heads and questioning why?

Favre was able to bring life back to the New York Jets but not able to get them into the playoffs and ultimately ended up costing Head Coach Eric Mangini his job. Now Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress appears to be the next person to bear that burden. After retiring, again, Favre requested – and was granted – a release from New York and is flirting now with Minnesota.

Brett Favre has enjoyed a hall of fame career but his skills have diminished to the point where a comeback seems improbable. Is it his love for the game that keeps wooing him back? Nope! Perhaps it’s his love of the limelight? Not even close! Turns out Favre’s motivation is hatred. Hatred for a team that was once endeared to him.

According to a New York Daily News source Favre wants to play in the NFC North again so that he can stick it to the Pack.

"Favre can't stand Green Bay," the source said. "He wants to play Green Bay and say, 'I told you so.' His bitterness is creating this. I think he's calling Minnesota. I think Minnesota is talking about this as we speak. You haven't heard the end of Favre. No way. He is bionic. As long as somebody will let him in, he will play."

Oh the drama!

Here We Go Again

Last off season we had to sit through the Brett Favre drama as he decided whether to come back for another season or retire. It seems like we are back at it once again! After initially saying that a decision would come within weeks of the end of the season now the future Hall-of-Famer is saying that he may have jumped the gun with that announcement.

Favre indicated in an interview last week that when it comes to retirement he is still very much up in the air. "I don't know if I'll ever know for sure (whether it's time to retire)," Favre said Tuesday. "I've been off three weeks now, and I'm just trying to get as far away from it as I can."

"I don't really (have a timetable)," Favre said. "I probably jumped the gun a little when I said that."

Admittedly he doesn’t want to drag it out as long as last year but it will still drag out. Free Agency begins March 2 so don’t expect a decision until sometime around then.
