Favre to retire...or...um...

Is it bad that I still care about this story?

Quarterback Brett Favre, who led the Green Bay Packers to two Super Bowls but was traded to the New York Jets last season after a bitter breakup with the Packers, told the Jets this morning that he is retiring from the National Football League.

ESPN.com, which first reported the story, said Favre's agent, James "Bus" Cook, informed the Jets of Favre's decision this morning.
But wait!

At NFL.com, reporter Adam Schefter reached Cook. Cook was asked whether this retirement was for good or whether Favre could change his mind this summer.

Cook responded to Schefter: “For good.”

However, ESPN reported that Cook raised the possibility of the Jets releasing Favre. There has been speculation that Favre was interested in joining the Minnesota Vikings.
It's like the OJ Simpson trial - it never ends, and I can't stop watching!

Favre was thrown under the 'Bus?'

I love Favre, but I don't want him here. That would be sacrilege. (For anybody who doesn't know, I'm a cheesehead who now lives in Minnesota.)
