To update Packer fans on the latest in the Brett Favre saga, there have been a couple things that have come out since my last update. The biggest update is that Brett Favre has finally responded to the rumors by saying that they are indeed rumors and no one should make a big deal out of them. At this point you need to believe what Brett says the most since he obviously knows what he is going to do. Some people are probably going to say that he is just saying that they are rumors but he is still planning on coming back. While these people might end up being right (at this point I doubt it) you can’t jump to conclusions with no real proof to back them up. To me it seems like Favre probably had a weak time and thought about coming back but realized why he retired in the first place and that was enough to show him that he should stay retired. To read more about the latest update check out JS Online’s Favre to Biloxi: ‘It’s all rumor’, and Yahoo’s Favre considers return to NFL or does he?.

The other update is that Al Jones (the reporter at the Biloxi paper that Brett has reported news to before) thinks that Brett is coming back. He “claims” that Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy forced Brett to retire this offseason and Brett has decided that he can still play and wants to. This report is a little suspicious in my opinion for several reasons. First Brett Favre, Mike McCarthy, and Ted Thompson all said that the Packers management wanted Brett back for another season. Some people will probably say that Brett just lied. I don’t believe this since Brett has always been known to express his true feelings and not hide anything. The other reason I think it is suspicious is the fact that Al Jones is going to be writing Brett’s autobiography. So I pose a quick question. Which will sell more copies? A book about Brett leaving on his own terms or a book filled with controversy where Brett was forced to retire? I am guessing that book #2 would sell many more copies, so Al Jones has something to gain out of claiming Brett was forced to retire.

If there are anymore updates I will keep reporting the latest news. In the meanwhile what are your thoughts on this whole situation?
