Steve Mariucci was on Sirius NFL tonight just after texting back and forward with Favre and he said Favre hasn't officially retired but his ankle isn't where it needs to be and he's not in the shape he feels he needs to be. Last year he could still do cardio after shoulder surgery to stay in shape but with the ankle he hasn't been able to so he's not near game shape. Didn't sound very promising from what he had to say.
As far as I'm concerned this is just Favre being Favre. He was probably getting a little jealous with Haynseworth and Revis getting all the headlines going into training camp and wanted to remind everyone that he still hasn't made his annual decision yet. In a few weeks if he feels like playing he will, if the ankle is really not recovered he won't. Personally I think the guy is pathetic but I kind of hope he comes back as it will make the season that much more fun. Nothing like the annual Favre crash and burn ending to his teams season.
