Brett Favre dismissed an ESPN report that he's considering coming out of retirement as "all rumor." Favre responded Wednesday to the report by telling his hometown newspaper, the Biloxi Sun Herald, that "it's all rumor." The paper reported that Favre sent a text message saying there's "no reason" for a media frenzy. ESPN reported that an unidentified Packers source said the 38-year-old Favre told coach Mike McCarthy in the past two weeks that he has the itch to play. The Wisconsin State Journal adds that in those conversations, Favre and the Packers didn't particularly see eye-to-eye, and the talks ended with Favre requesting his release, which the club refused. Furthermore, Sports Illustrated contributor and former NFL executive Mike Lombardi told Sirius NFL Radio Wednesday that he thinks it's "80/20" in favor of Favre returning.
Here we go again with Favre and his on-again, off-again decision to play football. The Packers might be balking at Favre returning because they're moving forward with Rodgers and drafted two rookie QBs in April (one being Brian Brohm).
