And so it begins: Favre return "highly unlikely," he tells ESPN
Posted by: Michael Rand under Vikings Updated: January 25, 2010 - 2:21 PM
While there is considerable evidence to suggest Brett Favre will make a reasonably quick decision on whether to come back for another season, we still have to take his "highly unlikely" comment to ESPN.com's Ed Werder with a grain of salt. We'd hardly be surprised to see him make one more run at it, given the high level he played at this season. But that's based on nothing more than past history and the knowledge that the Vikings are built for now. Here is a short snippet from that ESPN.com report:
Brett Favre's return for another season is "highly unlikely, but it has been an awesome year," the Minnesota Vikings quarterback told ESPN's Ed Werder after the Vikings' loss to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. Favre, who returned to the NFL from retirement with the goal of leading the Vikings to a championship, fell just short when his pass with seconds left in regulation was intercepted. The Saints won in overtime to advance to the franchise's first-ever Super Bowl. ... Favre also told Werder before the game that not one Vikings player had inquired about his future because they were so focused on the game. Favre wasn't quite ready to make a decision on his future immediately following the loss, but he said he wouldn't take long to make his plans known this time.
