NFL’s All-Time Interception Leader MIGHT Come Back
Update: I’m not the only one who recognizes Favre’s selfishness. Pro Football Weekly weighs in:
Now, we’ll hear about how Favre is one phone call away every time Rodgers throws a bad pick or loses a game with a so-so fourth quarter.
Enough of this B.S. The endurance of Favre as a story is part of the reason I wasn’t jumping for joy when he retired.
If you know Brett Favre and his many manipulations, you aren’t surprised by this: Favre said there are conditions under which he’d possibly return to the NFL.
If the Green Bay Packers are ravaged by injuries this season, Brett Favre might consider returning should the team reach out to him.
“It would be hard to pass up, I guess,” he told the Biloxi (Miss.) Sun Herald. “But three months from now, say that presents itself, I may say, you know what, I’m so glad I made that decision. I’m feel very comfortable in what I’m doing and my decision.
“Yeah, I can probably be up there doing that and playing, but again, I don’t know. It’s only speculating. I think the world of that team. I had a lot of fun, not only this year, but over my career.”
Color me unsurprised. Favre would like nothing better than for the Packers to stumble to a 4-4 or 3-5 record, have QB Aaron Rodgers get injured (which has has shown such a flair for), and then coming out of retirement for a run at the playoffs.
If you thought NFL defenses killed themselves by being afraid of Favre (Favrephobia, pronounced Fav-ra-phobia) in 2003-2007, what about when he comes out of retirement and Al Michaels makes him out to be the greatest thing since sliced cheese?
Opposing cornerbacks would forget to bring their shoes onto the field. Donald Driver would leap over fallen linebackers and have 200 yards after the catch per game. Defensive coordinators would spontaneously combust and waterboys would have to take the reins.
After how many years with the media, you don’t think Favre knows what he told the Biloxi Sun Herald would get picked up? Remember, Favre is supposed to be on “sabbatical.” If this guy loved being a farmboy riding his lawn mower so much, he’d be just fine doing that, not stirring up the pot and putting more pressure on Aaron Rodgers.
Then again, maybe he’s on to something with the anti-Rodgers strategy.
