Favre Declines Talk Show Appearances

It’s funny the plethora of things that get reported on about Brett Favre. The latest is from TwinCities.com who says that Favre is “so focused on winning games this season that the Vikings QB has respectfully declined guest appearances on the Jay Leno and David Letterman TV shows.”

Shrug. Didn’t he always do this? I don’t remember him making the late night appearances when he played with the Packers during the regular season ever. I did see him once in a while on the boob tube in the off-season, like this particular appearance after his very first retirement.

I remember watching that appearance and saying to my husband, “I think he’s coming back.” Oh the memories!

All in all, if Favre really is making a conscious choice not to appearance on chat shows, I think it’s a very wise idea. He just needs to lay low (as much as that’s possible with someone as high profile as he is) and focus on the game.
