Please. He's 44. It was too sickening watching him get hammered time after time even 3 years ago. Let it go.

I like (Viking) Favre. He was nearly crippled (pretty much the same OL issues we are having now) his last stint with us. He's not coming back. Let it go...

Favre, 44, during his interview where they asked him about Peyton returning to Indy for the first time looks physically awesome, which is probably what got the Rams so wet.


LOL! I doubt the Rams were "wet" for Favre. In fact, I'd be surprised if they seriously inquired about his services at all. One of the QBs they signed, Austin Davis, is represented by Favre's agent, Bus Cook. This whole story reeks of Cook seizing an opportunity for some easy publicity.

Favre's done as an NFL player.

Thanks to dirty playing by the Saints that has since been addressed, the "bounty" scandal.

I was actually referring to the 2010 season where he was concussed out of the Bears game.

Brett's loving his life away from the game. I believe he said he finally realized how much he hated being hit, and that he has no intention of ever playing professionally again. When his agent said that he was in the best shape of his life, Brett said that he isn't in football shape.

I promise you, that #4 is not coming back.

Dude can you edit a few thousand "o's" out of your No so I don't have to scroll a mile to read the other comments?

I can't even find the "submit" button because my screen is so stretched.

Great Googly Moogly. I foresee a day almost a century from now when some poor sap of a journalist decides to have a seance and see if its possible to call forth the spirit of Brett Favre to help their team.

Football legend Brett Favre says that at age 44 he’s facing “scary” memory issues linked to on-field concussions. His story yet again casts the NFL as one of America’s most dangerous work environments, despite myriad changes made by the league to protect today’s players.

Hold the phone are you telling me it's not a healthy idea to repeatedly run headfirst into solid objects at max speed and/or take the brunt of such hits for 15 years? And whose decision is that? Call me heartless but little sympathy here for their post-retirement injuries.

I don't recall asking whether you are sympathetic.
