Favre staying retired

No more Favre-Bean

**sniffle sniffle**

I was SOOOO hoping he would have come back for ONE more season and finish his career in Minnesota (my #1 team has been the Packers and #2 is the Vikings). No luck though. I REALLY wanted a Favre jersey from the Vikings; it was really hard for me to cheer him on while on the Jets last year. What a bummer. Oh well, we'll just act like he retired and never went to the Jets.

Excerpts from the NFL website:

Last year, Favre tearfully retired from the Green Bay Packers after 17 seasons in the NFL and three MVP awards -- then made an about-face and was traded to the New York Jets. He retired again after the 2008 season, had surgery in May to alleviate a torn biceps tendon and then flirted with the idea of coming back with the Vikings, the Packers' NFC North rivals.

Favre turns 40 in October and didn't believe he had enough left to get through a full season, according to Childress.

Favre holds almost every NFL career passing record that matters, including completions (5,720), yards (65,127), touchdowns (464) and interceptions (310).

Of course, this is Favre, which means there's always the chance that he will change his mind. Former Packers teammate Matt Hasselbeck, now the Seattle Seahawks' starting quarterback, tweeted that "Brett has always been predictably unpredictable."

As far as Leber is concerned, however, the case is closed.
