Well, one guy from Fox Sports said that he decided in March that he wanted to come back and he Packers said cool, and then he said he wasnt coming back and that he is staying retired.
So now, the Packers dont trust him because he could say he's coming back and then they automatically give him the job, and then he says hes done and then they are screwed.
I like the move again.
From a PR standpoint: Why would a team want Brett Favre? "To win a Super Bowl."
Okay, that eliminates about 28 of the teams in the league, including Minnesota and Chicago.
So after the 2008 season ends, how embarrassing would it be for not only the NFC North rival that he played for, but also for the Green Bay Packers and Brett Favre himself???? I say off the charts, and the humiliation for all parties will be remembered long after the non-Super-Bowl-winning gridiron performance of 2008 is forgotten.

If Favre played as well as he did last year I think the Vikes could contend. They would certainly be as good if not better than the Giants.

Basically. Its the same reason Malone went to the Lakers. But even then, the team still sucked. Signing up a big-name athlete in his 40's and on the verge of retiring, isn't much of an 'acquisition'.

38, but who's counting?
He had the best passer rating of his life last year. A lot of teams could use him. Including the Packers, ironically.
But I want to see him compete. I hope they release him instead of trading him. The Vikings still don't have receivers, but will be a scary team with him at the helm.

He's damn good, and no one can argue that. But I don't like when people announce they're retiring only to turn around and say that they were just pulling your leg and you're an idiot if you bought it.
Bill Maher put it best: "New rule: you cannot say you're going on a farewell tour, unless you absolutely positively swear you'll go away. This goes for Cher, Madonna, Michael Jordan, and if The Eagles pull this again, I swear I'll stab them all with my steely knife until I just do kill the beast!"

Wow suprised that got done after it all fell apart in the draft. I figured if it happened this late it would be the Giants being desperate to get him out of the locker room and give him away cheap but they got a premium price on him, a 2nd and a 5th round pick.. wow.
