Favre Tells Dilfer He Won't Come Back

From PFT (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/05/04/favre-tells-dilfer-he-isnt-coming-back/):

Less than a week after “retired” quarterback Brett Favre said in a statement that he’s still retired “at this time,” Favre offered a less equivocal response to a question from ESPN’s Trent Dilfer regarding whether the all-time leading everything at quarterback might come back in 2009.

“NO,” Favre supposedly said via text.

So why does no one believe it? Heck, even Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com is risking suspension from employment and/or eternal damnation by openly questioning the credibility of Lord Favre.

But here’s the simple reality. Favre has no credibility on this topic. Not because he’s a liar, but because he’s too emotional.

Today, he doesn’t want to play. Tomorrow, he won’t want to play. But chances are that at some point between now and late June, Favre will wake up and decide that he wants to play football in 2009.

Then again, maybe he’s a liar, too. Last year, when he and agent Bus Cook were working behind the scenes to get Favre back to the top of the Packers’ depth chart or unconditionally released, Favre brushed off the reports as “mere rumor” and said, “There’s nothing to it.”

We’re not saying that this means Favre is coming back. We’re only saying that nothing he says about the matter can be believed.
