It seems like Brett Favre retiring has been the topic of offseason conversation for at least the last five years (he has actually been threatening to retire since 2002.) Being the poster boy for indecisiveness, Favre is at it again, soaking up the attention of the media and adding chaos to another football team’s locker room. Yesterday, Favre allegedly sent certain Viking teammates text messages stating that he will not be returning to the NFL.
At 40 years old, Favre just came off one of his best seasons of his career with the Minnesota Vikings. But in the NFC championship game against the New Orleans Saints he suffered an ankle injury on his left leg. In May, Favre had arthroscopic surgery on the ankle and has since claimed to be having some trouble with the recovery.
At this point nothing is official, but it seems as if the Vikings will have to rely on the unproven Tarvaris Jackson when the preseason starts this year against the St. Louis Rams.
