Doesn't he need to just retire? I mean he's had a great career..but don't you come to a point when you just gotta say...I'm done?

Ugh, first Vick and now Favre. He's only doing this because he didn't have a chance to play against Green Bay last season with the Jets. With the Vikings, he'll be getting two chances to beat the Packers. I guess he wants that to be the last feat of his career.

Didn't Michael Jordan do the same thing? Retire, un-retire, retire, un-retire...

Yes he did and also tried his hand at baseball. That went over really well.

As a Vikings fan I just want everyone to know that we did NOT get a vote on his hiring. He would still be retired if we had!

Yeah, with all the time he spent in Green Bay, I would think the Vikings fans would have a problem with this. It would be like the Ravens bringing in Big Ben! I would not be a happy camper. In my opinion this will just hold back the Vikings for another year, not going to be a help.

Just for the record, when I retire, I'm going to stay retired.

Didn't he un-retire before and not do very well?

Yeah, he un-retired last year and played for the Jets. Did well until about the mid-way point and then had an injury that he had surgery on in the off season. Should have stayed retired the first time.
