Brett Favre: Why It's Time to Stop Talking About a Comeback for Good

Brett Favre should not come back to the NFL.

There are a lot of Brett Favre fans that want to see him return to the league and thrive as a starting quarterback.

I am not one of them.

Since Favre originally retired with the Green Bay Packers, he has played for the New York Jets (one season) and the Minnesota Vikings (two seasons).

Doesn't it seem like just a distant memory from when he was a revered figure in Wisconsin?

Not only has his legacy taken an obvious hit with his inability to decide on retirement, but his constant waffling and ephemeral nature have made many very tired of his entire act.

Now, with Favre seemingly enjoying retirement thoroughly, Gil Brandt has decided to add fuel to the Favre fire once again by claiming he might be interested in a comeback.

“I do think Favre would be interested in talking to a team about returning,” Brandt said.

Come, on man!

You couldn't just let the man enjoy his retirement?

Have we run out of things to talk about during the lockout?

This rumor is nothing more than just that, as it would be really difficult to imagine seeing Favre back on the field once again.

But really, the only person that knows is Favre himself. And sometimes, it appears as if even he doesn't know what he wants to do.

For what it's worth, Favre's friend Ryan Longwell doesn't think that he'll be back at any point soon (via Fox Sports North).

“I talk to him at least once a week,” Longwell said. “We are good friends. He is doing great; his family is doing great. He is really excited about not having any questions about whether he is coming back or not, there is no doubt. He is really doing well.”

Like Lucille Ball, Brandt is gonna have some 'splainin to do to back up his comments.
