Favre refutes 'rumours'. Sort of...


Late last night the story broke on ESPN that Brett Favre had contacted the Packers and tested the water about a potential return to football this season.

The reaction has been one of non-denial from the Packers, Favre's agent Bus Cook, and the man himself was no different.

In a text message to the sunherald.com website, Favre called the report 'All rumour', and insisted there was 'no reason for it'. The text stopping short of a categoric 'No, I will definately not play again', but it does sort of put the knockers on Chris Mortensen's report.

Again, as we made very clear last night, it would take someone with Al Davis's mindset (ie: nuts) to trade for Favre when he has retired. Whoever did get him would be paying through the nose for a one shot cannon, one that would not guarantee a Superbowl.

With a bit of luck Favre will issue a full statement today clarifying matters.
