TOTALLY Pulling a Michael Jordan!
Filed under: Zportz
Looks like ESPN was right!
According to a new report, Brett Favre's un-retiring and wants out of the contract that binds him to the Green Bay Packers.
Will the Cheese Heads go nuts if he un-retires to another team?
Un-retiring seems so lame.
Green Bay doesn't want Brett back, wisely, so he wants out of his contractual obligations.
Will any other team hire Favre???
Why not go out in top form, on your own terms?

aaron rodgers a better QB than brett favre? please. i'm so sick of the packers making statements about how they're going to "do what's best for the team". i have watched every packer game in the past 4 years, so did i happen to walk away from the tv when rodgers did ANYTHING to prove that he's worth jack shit?
if thompson truly believes keeping rodgers & letting go of brett is the "best thing", why would they care where he goes? why so horrified by the idea of him going to a rival team? i mean…if they're keeping the BETTER QB in rodgers, what on earth do they have to be afraid about?
truth is…favre doesn't have many years left in him emotionally so why not set your egos down for a season or two (rodgers, thompson, & mccarthy) & give the guy some respect. it isn't like he's ever retired before & clearly he's indecisive…so how was he to know how he'd feel closer to september? besides, it isn't like that douchebag rodgers is going anywhere & if he is, good thing they drafted 2 more prospects.
they "wisely" don't want him back? he has been 18-4 his last 22 games…he was one game away from the super bowl…he had 28 touchdowns this year…being "wise" would be taking this man back. he is in the top 3 quarterbacks in the league right now, look at his numbers from last year perez before you pass judgment on letting a guy like favre go. not only will green bay be letting a legacy leave titletown–but they will also be letting a guy go who came off one of the best years of his entire career!!!
He should join the Vikings. Them pesky Packers are always throwin' to us anyway.
my money is on him going to minnesota
Re: Green – You are so funny. You kill me. And I am from Wisconsin and you are so right…
He just really likes to pretend to retire and then cry like a girl at the end of every season.
brett favre sucks, and no one wants him around anymore. he should retire under a rock and stay there until he dies.
Does he really want to piss off a state full of drunk cheeseheads (I can throw shade ’cause I'm one of them)!!?? NO loyalty man. No loyalty. Do what you want though. Kinda surprising you're over the packers?! WTF? You wouldn't be you without them. They wouldn't be who they are without you. Acknowledge that. Be grateful for the career you've had. Don't slap us in the face by playing for another team and forcing us to boo our former hero when you get on field.
Re: Jayne – Fuck Brett Favre.
BRETT-
PLEASE COME TO CHICAGO!!!! WE NEED YOU AND LOVE YOU.
Tired of all the drama. I live in Wisconsin and its been drama with Favre retiring/not retiring for a few years now. I am sick of it. I love him, but I am tired of the drama. I can't figure out who is being the big ass here, Farve or the Packers GM & management. What is the real story here? I want to see him play, but I can't stand this crap.
Its not as sad as you might think. He wants the starting QB job, and the Pack were placing him on the bench more often. The retirement was a ploy. See now that he's retired, the Packers must reinstate him to the ACTIVE roster, but they've already made their plans for the season. If they don't they MUST release him. What his agent's doing is just a courtesy and a way for the Packers to save face. If the dog's got more gas in the tank to make a season or two of final runs, let him! Jerry Rice had a couple really good seasons with the Raiders and Joe Montana had a few successful seasons with the Chiefs after both were dumped by the 49ers…let's see just how much gas Brett's got.
You don't know shit about football.
Keep to Hollywood gossip and your shitty Hot Topix flip flops you fucking poofter
have you ever played football? Ever even been to a game? You are a fucking douche. Dont be such a fucking idiot. You know NOTHING about this. Dont post shit like this on your gossip website.
HE DIDNT GO OUT ON HIS OWN TERMS!!! he was forced out by the packers, and if he wants to come back and play, GOOD FOR HIM! he has earned it, he is an amazing quarterback, and if hes not done yet, hes not done!
Re: The D – I agree with you. I'm glad Brett is coming back to play. I would love to see him turn a team around. The Packers are idiots! I've heard Miami, Ravens, someone even mentioned Saints but we have Brees that isn't going to happen. Someone can take Bush from us though, I'm tired of him!
The Tampa Bay Bucs want him!!
i am a HUGE green bay packers fan, even tho im from new york but i know i will personally be DEVASTATED if brett went anywhere else
I STILL WANT YOU BACK AT LAMBEAU!!!
I have been in Love with the GB Packers and Brett Favre since I was 5…and to have him join another team disgusts me. Just thinking about it makes me sick….he is a Packer and should always be a Packer.
Re: Carle – Talk to the Packer organization, they are the ones who let him go and won't take him back. Not his fault.
You guys r all stupid…B.Favre is the greatest fball player ever..and Perez, really…u watch football?? You obbbbbviously don't know the following Favre has. He is a freaking sexy man and an amazing fball player…no one can deny that. let the stud play!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!! I AM FROM WISCONSIN AND I SPEAK FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS THE STATE OF WISCONSIN. WHY WOULDN'T THE PACKERS WANT TO TAKE HIM BACK HOW DUMB ARE THEY. I HATE THE PACKERS NOW. THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN. WE ARE ALL PISSED AND WANTING ANSWERS.
When you're as good at what you do as he is, unretiring is simply great news, not to mention how substantially he can fatten the retirement coffers. Buyers will get good bang for their buck, so no worries, all around for Favre, Management, and Fans. It's not only women that change their minds.
Re: INGY – comment #1 - YOU are a foreigner to every other country in the world. What do you have to say to THAT?
Re: Rebec – Get a life moron. Don't worry about a hick from Kiln.
These fuckwads think they can play forever when they're pumping the growth hormone. Fuck this selfish hasbeen!
We are stinky, and we have sex with our daughters.
Porkez's favorite team is the Fudge Packers.
WISCONSIN WILL HATE U IF YOU PLAY FOR THE CUBS BRETT!
I had sex with him and so did my friend…for real
You are retarded perez if you think favre would truely retire. After one of his best seasons, you can't compare him to what michael jordan did. Hes going to be one of the best in the league, Still
BRETT FAVRE ROCKS! He is notter, betterlooking and more talented than Douchebag Toothpaste Model Tom Brady will ever be. At least Favre didn't have to cheat to win his Super Bowl!! I hope the Rams hire him!!!
This is seriously disappointing. After having defended him to pretty much everyone i have spoken to about this matter, and being a diehard Packer fan, it feels like a slap in the face. Come on Brett.

The man doesn't need the money, he could stay in retirement, under his contract and continue to collect a big check. He's a player, he's committed to the game, it's been his life since peewee league. It's tough to give up what you love, even when everyone else sees it as desperation or just a plain bad move.
Re: Wisco – ok i am from wisoncin and i dont talk like that…"day hey" that is offensive…that is people from minnesota and chicago…
Re: dehli – ok how would he have a shot at the superbowl w/ the vikings…they suck every year! they either do good then suck or get good when it doesnt matter anymore…why wouldnt he come back to the team that almost got him there last year?
ok people get a clue….packers had a 13-3 season last year not 14-2 and he has been with the packers for 16 years! not 13!
I live in Wisconsin near Green Bay and I can assure everyone that people around here will go WILD if Brett plays for another team. It doesn't seem fair to anyone involved or make any sense as to why he would want to do something like that…..the winters are bitter enough around here Brett, why make it worse?!
Re: Wonder_Women – brett is going to be a viking or a bear next year…the packers said they will put him on the active roster but will not start him.
Perez…how many football games or any sport games did you watch this year, really? i like how you comment on things that you really don't know about just because its on the news. stay away from real sports news and just comment on who they are dating…i.e. jessica and the sorry replacement romo.
As much as we love Brett Favre in Green Bay, and all the craziness surrounding the big question of whether he will play or not, I have to wonder why he would risk his health to try to play another year. He is 38 years old, and as great as he is, all it takes is one hard injury to end his career, and possibly his life. Why would he risk not only his future, but his families too? We love you Brett, but I would like to see you live a happy productive life doing something else…you've proved all there is in football.
