He just couldn’t resist, could he? After retiring (again) this past winter from football, there is once again speculation (created by, of course, Favre himself) that Favre is indeed contemplating a return to the NFL.  The reason this all started is becuase Favre had his agent relay to the Jets that he insisted he be removed from their reserve/retired list.  My question is: WHY?  If your retired and plan to stay retired, why even bother?  Well, here’s where it all gets interesting.  Through a statement he released, this is what Favre had to say, “Nothing has changed. At this time I am retired and have no intention of returning to football.”  That sounds about as definitive as a weather man saying there’s a fifty percent chance of rain.  To end any speculation, he could have a.) not requested such a move (apparently weeks ago he insisted on the move) and b.) said, “I’m retired and I’m not coming back.”  But that wouldn’t be Favre’s me-first style.  He once again has gotten people who dislike him (me?) to talk about him. Truth is,. I have no problem with Favre on any kind of personal level, but I think he is as bad as a Chad Ocho Cinco.  He always wants the attention on himself, and is very much a self made martyr.
