He calls his GM and asks to play again. His GM tells him they'll talk about it later (not such a great sign for Favre.) Apparently he later asked to be released, and was denied. The Packers organization says he's welcome on the team but the spot isn't guaranteed.
Regardless of what you think of B
rett Favre, you have to admit this isn't his most classy moment. He shouldn't be doing this to his team. The quarterback is the most important position and if the team doesn't know who it's captain is going to be they're not likely headed in the right direction.The NFL is only a couple weeks from starting camp and drama surrounds the Packers. There's nothing wrong having in itch to play the game you love but there is a problem with taking a while to decide whether or not you're coming back, then deciding to retire and later changing your mind and deciding you made the wrong decision in the first place. You're only bringing your team down. Brett Please, make up your mind. By the way, if you don't want your streak to end due to injury, don't return. You're on the Madden Cover this year.
