Once again, another NFL offseason, another round of speculation as to whether or not Brett Favre will come back to play for someone. Again, the Minnesota Vikings have been mentioned as his most likely suitor. And once again I say. Don’t do it! If comments from some of the New York Jets from last season are to be believed, Favre doesn’t appear to want to put the work in during the week to get ready for the games; he just wants to play the games. I suppose when you’ve been around as long as Favre has, you can figure where corners can be cut. But in the NFL, cutting corners isn’t necessarily a strong strategy. These are year-round athletes, even if the season only lasts a few months. In my opinion, he needs to be just as committed to the work that leads to the games, as he is to the games themselves. In just the last week he has gone from definitely retired to meeting with the Vikings to discuss coming back, to being committed to retiring (again), to listing conditions which will allow him to play again. The story has been getting non-stop play on ESPN, being mentioned on SportsCenter every quarter hour or less just to make sure the audience is paying attention. Basically, he needs to decide if he wants to go through another season and remain committed to doing so, or just give up the game he loves. I understand he has an itch to play, but maybe it’s time to look in another direction. I also left my opinion on this issue at a blog post at MKRob’s Sports Blog.

If the comments from Kerry Rhodes and Thomas Jones are to be believed, then Brett Favre only wants the Sunday glory, not the work you have to put in to make that glory happen. That's not the way a future Hall of Famer should go out. I agree with Kenny and Malik.

I think Favre wants to play, but he wants to do it on his terms, and it can't work that way if the Vikings are seriously trying to make this run. Thing is...if Childress does talk to him, and Favre really wants to play, he'll let him, and he'll even go along with the special treatment. I can't believe Ed said that. He hates Favre...hahahahahaha Malik is 100% right. I think Favre wants to play, but he wants to do it on his terms, and it can't work that way if the Vikings are seriously trying to make this run.

I did not know that you neede my response right then. I think Favre should talk to Jerry Jones. I love Brett and will not say anything bad about him. He may still have a good year or two left. And since I no longer have faith in Romo... Aw snap! I did not know that you neede my response right then. I think Favre should talk to Jerry Jones.
