Brett Favre contemplates life after retirement
With Brett Favre it?s not over until it?s over. No matter what he puts his body through, and how many teary eyed press conferences he gives, his saga will continue until he has gone two full seasons without stepping on to an NFL field.
Call it ego, boredom or anything else you want, but Favre is always a possibility to return to the game he loves?even now.
After a season where Favre saw his consecutive game streak end, he now is telling NBC sports that his future is up in the air.
Favre said:
I don?t know. I really don?t know. It could be coaching. It could be TV. Both of those are unlikely anytime soon. I don?t see myself becoming a full-time coach anytime soon at any level.
While Favre is mulling over the options, don?t discount a return to football. Retirement papers are only valid until Favre gets the itch to play again and the labor dispute may scratch that itch.
The prospect of a shortened training camp would appeal to Favre, who has made a habit of ducking most of training camp the last two seasons. For the Vikings it would give them a player who?s familiar with the personnel, the system and wouldn?t take any time to get acclimated to the pro game.
As for Christian Ponder, who is likely to become the Vikings starter at some point, he would benefit from a year behind Favre rather than be rushed into a shortened season in his rookie year.
No one wants the Favre saga to continue, but as long as there is life left in his body there will always be a chance.
