A friend of mine sent me back an email I had written over 5 years ago, in it I predicted favre would play until he is 45, for at least 5 teams, the last one being the raiders. At the time, my friends thought I was crazy, now, not so much.
reasons favre can't quit, 2 reasons
#1 he is the most frugal with his money of any player wisconsin fans have ever known, known to stiff waiters, watresses, bag attendants at the golf course, caddy's, etc, welch on bets on the golf course - he will play as long as he can because he wants more money
#2 he wants to hold the QB records forever, as many as he can and even if he adds 8 or 10 td's, it will be that much harder for anyone to catch him. he has an ego that does not quit, if you guys did not know.
the reason he retires and unretires is he does not want to go to camp, rumor has it he also got the packers to give him his own locker room and that he often tues afternoon for mississippi and came back thursday morning, I don't know how true that is. his argument for not needing to practice is he already knows the offense, Mccarthy put his foot down and said that may be true, but your teammates need practice time with you.
Also, some packer players said the offense was difficult to change, since favre had troubles learning 'new' stuff. watch for teams to call out viking plays and audibles, I know darren sharper was calling out all of the packer stuff when he played for the vikes.
should be really interesting, favre will make it exciting for sure
