Favre: I'm Not Sure This Is My Last Season

I hope he'll be getting a cut of the newspaper sales in Wisconsin for the next off-season.

From what I've read, and seen, he hasn't progressed enough to warrent much PT yet. He should be happy the Packers have stuck with him as they have which was evident when Nall departed. He best keep improving too, I just checked the roster and GB has Ingle Martin from Furman on the roster, he was a transfer from Florida way back and was a fine Div. II qb.

NFL NOTEBOOK
Packers’ Favre is back, and wants no distractions
Sunday, May 07, 2006

Brett Favre is back.
And so, it seems, are the questions about Favre’s future beyond the upcoming season.
Despite comments earlier in the off-season that there was "no doubt" the 2006 season would be his last, Favre said yesterday that he wasn’t so sure.
"I know I said that," Favre said yesterday, in his first public comments since telling the Green Bay Packers he would return for another season. "But I hope you guys will respect me. I’m going to play this year, give it my best and not talk about it."
Favre said the constant speculation surrounding his football future has become a distraction for the team.
"It’s been a distraction not only for me but for I think the guys I played with in the past, and I’m not going to talk about it this year," he said.
In a half-hour session with reporters, Favre admitted he doesn’t know whether his decision to return was the right one. But Favre said he also would have questions if he had decided to retire.
Favre knows athletes can risk their legacies but that others quit when they could have played effectively for a few more years.
"Where do I fall in? I don’t know, and don’t care," he said. "The Packers still want me, I want to be back."
Favre threw a career-worst 29 interceptions last season as the Packers went 4-12, the team’s first losing season since he became its quarterback.
"I’m going to take chances," he said. "And there’s going to be people who agree with that and there’s going to be people who don’t agree with it. And I really don’t care."
Favre doesn’t plan to change his style of play at this stage of his career. "My desire and my commitment is why I’m here," he said. "Not my footwork, not my mechanics, not arm strength or decision making. It’s my desire to win. I want to win more than anyone else. I’m willing to do whatever it takes, and sometimes it’s not pretty."

I know I'm not complaning. I'd like to see it continue next Mon. in Philly. We've got to get more ground yards though, and less fumbles. The secondary is questionable also, it has to get better.

Favre not 'overly concerned' with injury
CHRIS JENKINS
Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Brett Favre isn't used to telling his team that he can't go back on the field. And 251 games into his consecutive starts streak, he doesn't plan to make it a habit. Favre said Wednesday he isn't "overly concerned" about not being able to make his next start after an elbow nerve injury kept him out of the second half of the Green Bay Packers' 35-0 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Although the injury isn't causing him much pain, Favre acknowledged he hasn't fully regained the feeling in the first two fingers on his throwing hand, leaving a hint of doubt about his availability for Monday night's game in Seattle.
Favre can't quite feel the ball the way he wants to, so he can't quite make it do what he wants it to do in the air.
"This is just different," he said. "At least with a broken thumb, I could feel the ball. It was painful, but I could feel the ball. So I am a little concerned about that, but it's only been three days since the injury so I don't think there's any certain guidelines you go through on something like this. It's kind of an odd deal. But once again, at this point, I feel confident I'll be OK."
He ran plays in the "jog-through" portion of Wednesday's practice but didn't participate in full-speed team drills.
Favre said the actual injury isn't severe. He has a minor bruise and some swelling on his right arm - not much for a guy who has played with a softball-size bruise on his hamstring (2004), broken thumb (2003), injured knee ligament (2002) and all sorts of bumps and bruises.
"As far as the pain goes, this is as minor an injury I've had to even question whether or not I would play," Favre said.
Favre was injured near the end of the first half, when Patriots linebacker Tully Banta-Cain wrapped him up, and Tedy Bruschi came in to finish the sack.
At first, Favre said he didn't understand how the hit could have caused such an injury, until he saw a cast on Bruschi's right hand.
"The cast kind of makes more sense, because otherwise I thought it was like he poked me or a knuckle or something caught me," Favre said. "As bad as it felt, I figured he had to break a knuckle or something. But he had that cast on his hand."
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the team was being cautious by holding him out of a portion of practice Wednesday.
"I've been saying all along, just with his track record, I'll be surprised if he doesn't go Monday," M | | |
