Hahaha, just saw this on TSN.ca...what a buffoon. Should have stayed retired to begin with. He certainly puts the ASS in class.

I'm sure the criticisms of his team-mates made the decision easy for him.

Lets wait for a few month before the spotlight whore gets done crawfishing in Louisianna before I will take this as fact.

As not much (if any) of a NFL-follower, I vaguely heard something about his teammates criticizing him or something of the sorts? What did they say exactly?

Jones, in a radio interview shortly after the Jets' season-ending loss to the Miami Dolphins, questioned whether Favre should have been benched. "If somebody is not playing well, they need to come out of the game," Jones told Hot 97 FM. "You're jeopardizing the whole team because you're having a bad day. To me, that's not fair to everybody else. "
In a later interview on ESPN's First Take, Jones sought to clarify his comments, saying he respected Favre.
"I would expect him to answer the question the same way about me if I had two fumbles and it was a situation where I wasn't playing well and he answered the question the same way. I wouldn't look at him any different," Jones said on First Take.

In the second half, you're right.
But in the first half of the season he was being spoken of in MVP terms.
I guess teams got enough film on the Jets and the Jets didn't/couldn't adapt. I'm not sure it was all Favre's fault, but I also don't think he helped himself or his team, and trying to do it all himself wasn't a new thing for Favre. Everyone got what they deserve.

Chad Pennington and the Miami Dolphins are the big winners.

I used to be a Favre fan, but retiring then unretiring and then going to the Jets has certainly has reduced my opinion of him. If he really wanted to play he should have not retired in the first place.
I suppose as a pro athlete it is the hardest thing to do - walk away from the game you love.
If I was a pro-athlete, I would play until they wouldn't let me play any longer - screw the going out at the top of your game crap -- if you love it, play. As much as I dislike Chelios, I respect him for staying in shape and playing and playing and playing.

Quick, shoot him in the leg before he changes his mind!
He better not get another press conference. I still can't believe he started contemplating retirement to the media again before the season was even over and the Jets were in a playoff fight. What an attention whore goob.

I respected him a lot when he was a Packer but that took a little bit of a hit last year.
With that said he was a great QB and is 1st in all time passing yards for a QB and all time TD Passes. Additionally he is only 1 of 2 players to win 3 NFL MVP's for the regular season (Peyton Manning is the other).
NFL All Time Passing Yards
1. Brett Favre - 65,127
2. Dan Marino - 61,361
3. John Elway - 51,475
4. Warren Moon - 49,325
5. Fran Tarkenton - 47,003
6. Vinny Testaverde - 46,233
7. *Peyton Manning - 45,628
* active (other then Manning, only 2 active QB's have more then 30,000 yards passing: Collins and McNair)
NFL All Time TD Passes
1. Brett Favre - 464
2. Dan Marino -420
3. Fran Tarkenton -342
4. *Peyton Manning -333
* active (other then Manning, no active QB has thrown more then 200 TD passes)
Time for Peyton to become the leader in both!!

True, but even in the first half when he was lightin things up he had still developed a bad rep for all the junk that went down during the off-season. It's amazing how far he's dropped in one calender year. It was just last Feb when he had his tearful PC and SI released a whole book dedicated to his legacy. Seems like it was years ago now.
