Brett Favre Plans to Stay Retired?

Well, the latest in the “Brett Favre Unretirement Watch” has revealed that Brett plans to remain retired. This is according to “a source close to the team.” Apparently Brett had a phone conversation with Vikings head coach Brad Childress and saved coach the airfare to Hattiesburg, Miss. by declaring his desire to remain retired. It was also reported that Brett will explain his decision soon.

I am beginning to find the whole media frenzy surrounding Brett’s return to the game amusing. And kind of irritating. One day you hear one story, the next day you hear a completely different story. And every media outlet has a “source.” Who’s to say the Yahoo! Sports “source” referred to in this post has any clue what he/she is talking about? I mean, yesterday we heard that coach Childress was on his way to Brett’s home to talk about his supposed return to the game. Some reports already had him in Mississippi. NFL Network had reporters at the Hattiesburg airport and in Brett’s front yard for God’s sake. Today we have a completely different story. Tomorrow the situation could take an entirely different turn. From an entirely different “source” no less.

I enjoy being part of the hype surrounding information that is actually true. But when you have one conflicting report after another to try to follow, it gets very exasperating. So, at this time, Brett is supposedly happy being retired and doesn’t plan to join the Vikings. Whatever. If that’s the truth, do I expect Brett to change his mind? Of course. I don’t think this is the last we’ve heard of Brett Favre’s “unretirement.”
