Brett Favre Announces Retirement...For Now

Last night Brett Favre told the Minnesota Vikings that he will not return for a 20th season, thanks to a nagging ankle injury.

The 40 year old phony, has done this dog and pony show before. He retired twice before changing his mind to play for the Jets, after he spurned and angered the Packers, then the Vikings last season.

The Vikings have been surprisingly patient with Favre, waiting into training camp and the 2010 season for the former MVP to decide what to do. Now it appears that Favre is done...again...leaving Minnesota as the third team that Favre left in a lurch.

However. Yes, however, WFAN reports that Favre was on the practice field in Mississippi this morning. He did not speak to reporters, but was seen throwing to his favorite high school kids.

ESPN reports that Favre has not made a final decision. He told Ed Werner of ESPN that he will play if he is healthy. "Favre told ESPN that he has decided to play for Minnesota in 2010 if his surgically repaired ankle heals but said the fact he has not been able to decide his future reflects his level of concern about regaining his health."

The Vikings also offered Favre $20 million, $16 million guaranteed to play this year. That will heal an ankle fast won't it. Stay tuned for phony to decide.
