Does anyone care about Brett Favre anymore?

Brett Favre had 61,655 career-passing yards, 442 regular season touchdowns, 5377 completed passes, and one Super Bowl ring.

My question for the "cheese-heads" out there is, what does Brett Favre have left to prove?

An icon for sure; a Hall of Famer.

Coming back from retirement and being successful?

Not so much!

Already considered one of the NFL's elite, Brett Favre had set the bar for quarterbacks through the 90s and into the Millennium, in terms of leadership and heart.

If his resume is not impressive enough, Favre lead the “Pack” to a winning season every year, but 2005, when the Packers were a disappointing 4-12.

It was decided on Tuesday, July 8 that Favre during a conference call to the Packers head office stressed to them that he wanted to come back and play football, yet again.

Green Bay, surprising, the football/sports world, has been reluctant to offer any kind of support to Favre— that leading to Favre wanting the Packers to release him unconditionally from his contract.

A whooping three years for $39 million— Favre can still make!

The Packers General Manager, Ted Thompson, more than likely will release Favre, but with some conditions.

Those have yet to be determined, but if I were a betting man I would say that some of the stipulations would include not going to a in-conference team and I could even see Green Bay trying to buy out some of Favre's contract.
