Holy this is unexpected
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/traini...ory?id=5433551Reports: Brett Favre plans to retire
Brett Favre has informed the Vikings that he will not return for another season in Minnesota, the Star-Tribune reported Tuesday.
Favre has sent text messages to teammates saying, "This is it," league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Neither Favre nor the Vikings have confirmed the news but a press release is expected Tuesday, the sources said.
The Associated Press also reported that Favre is saying that he's not returning this season.
The Vikings' ownership is holding its annual meeting at training camp Tuesday morning.
This would be the third retirement for Favre, who also retired after 16 seasons with the Green Bay Packers after the 2007 season and one season with the New York Jets after the 2008 season.
The 40-year-old Favre has been working out at his home in Hattiesburg, Miss., still rehabbing a surgically repaired ankle that was injured in Minnesota's overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC le game. He has yet to inform the team if he will honor the second year of his contract and come back for another run at the Super Bowl.
Last year Favre told the Vikings he was not going to play shortly before camp opened. But he changed his mind a few weeks later, and went on to record one of the best seasons of his career despite having less than three weeks to prepare.
If Favre doesn't return, the Vikings' starting quarterback job likely will be decided in a training camp battle between Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson.
The 32-year-old Rosenfels, acquired by the Vikings last year in a trade with the Houston Texans, has a career quarterback rating of 81.2. In 32 games, he has 30 touchdowns and 29 interceptions and has passed for 4,156 yards.
The 27-year-old Jackson, drafted in the second round of the 2006 draft, has a 77.9 rating and has 21 touchdowns and 18 interceptions, passing for 3,643 yards in 33 career games.
Favre threw for over 4,200 yards with 33 touchdowns and just seven interceptions to lead the Vikings (12-4) to the NFC North le and their first NFC le game since 2001.
Holy this is unexpected
^ Yeah it was.
we heard this before
It's Rosencopter time!!!
NOT SO FAST !!!!!!
It's Favre
He may come out of retirement 2 weeks before the NFL season starts and might join any team at any time
Cardinals should get on it! They are a QB from NFC contention again.
Ohh, cool. Nah nah nah nahhh
Good bye Brett Farve, thanks for all of the annoying memories, maybe you could go join the cast of Jersey Shore it could be Snooki, the situation, the waffler . . .That way you could continue to be narcissistic and annoying. Anyway, Good Bye . . .
See you in 3 weeks.
Holy ! As a Cowboy fan, Great news if this is true.
Chilli gonna go down there in a couple weeks and change his mind.
err his daughter. Err the fans.
Whatever...
It's not extremely shocking I guess, just unexpected. He probably remembers that NFC championship game and how he doesn't feel like putting his body through that anymore.
About damn time, I am so sick of farve at this point. I still find it messed up that adrian peterson couldnt even attend without coach bradchildress getting mad at him, but farve got a free pass to show up anytime he wanted. farve.
Manning finally starts the assault on his records, tbh.
Childress says he hasn't heard anything from Favre yet.
I say it's 50-50 Favre plays this year.
Ill believe it when I see Jackson out there starting game one. And even then ill be skeptical that Favre wont take his place at half time.
Come back, brah.
He will be unretired next month.
as soon as training camp ends, Brett will decide he wants to play
He will be unretired next month.
Way to be the 10th person to make the joke you bandwagoning .
HaHaaHaHaHA as soon as training camp ends Favre will magically "unretire" HaaHaaaHaaa
Get it guys????

Like my 4 year old nephew says, "it's opposite day!"
If it were 2 years ago, I'd be more appreciative of him and his career. At this point, it's about ing time. Shoo, get gone already...
well ESPN is a pile of today.
as it that's any different than what it usually is.
Basically he is saying "there is a chance"!!!!!!!
