I have always had a lot of respect for the guy, but I sincerely hope he stays retired. Maybe this is all PR, he's up for contract renewal with "Wrangler"! Sealed

Report: Favre to meet with Vikings coach Childress

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—Just when Brett Favre looked to finally be out, the Minnesota Vikings could be pulling him back in.

Citing an anonymous source “with direct knowledge of the discussions between the two parties,” ESPN reported Tuesday that Favre is scheduled to meet with Vikings coach Brad Childress later this week about a possible comeback with Minnesota.

Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, did not immediately return a phone call to his Mississippi office left by The Associated Press.

Childress did not immediately return a message. A Vikings spokesman declined to comment on the report.

Both Favre and Cook have said this spring that Favre intends to stay retired. But Favre’s statement after he was released by the New York Jets last week left the door open.

“At this time, I am retired and have no intention of returning to football,” he said.

Those three little words—“At this time”—set off rampant speculation that he was indeed considering a second return to action.

Childress said Friday he had been too busy to concentrate on Favre, but did acknowledge the subject would soon be broached.

I'm no Favre fan. Even so you have to admire what he has done - in the regular season. He's not what he used to be anymore though and in my mind he should have retired a Packer after 2007, one of his best seasons. I think what he have done/will do after 2007 will be an afterthought in 10 years or so, but for now it feels like he kills off some of his legacy with all this, nonsense.

I think Favre should still come back. Wouldn't you rather have him quarterbacking your team than Tavaris Jackson?

the first time he pulled this, i was just annoyed. i listen to sports radio everyday at work, and it was all they could talk about. but now, i think its funny, i hope he does come back. it really is pathetic that he cant even tell that his career is over. i would never want brett farve playing for my football team.

Favre just wants attention.  Probably doesn't know what to do with himself without football.

They are saying today that Favre wants to remain retarded, I mean retired.
