If it means getting to see him cry at another retirement press conference I'm all for Brett coming back.

I can't sit through another weepy, long winded Farve retirement speach. If you decide to go out in a huge blaze press glory, don't un-retire within a year!

I'm ok with his return as long as he announces it through a press release that states simply: "I'm backvre."

Older article, nice tribute to Brett, I didn't see it posted yet:
Favre's top 10 career moments
1. Super Bowl XXXI
Date: Jan. 26, 1997
Score: Packers 35, Patriots 21
Why it mattered: Favre passed for two touchdowns (54, 81 yards) -- including one on the second play of the game -- and ran for another in the Packers' first Super Bowl in 29 years.

Favre's memorable career included more wins, completions and consecutive starts than any player in history.
2. Playing for his father
Date: Dec. 22, 2003
Score: Packers 41, Raiders 7
Why it mattered: Just one day after the sudden death of his father, Irv, Favre passed for 399 yards and four touchdowns on "Monday Night Football" in a blowout win.
3. The legend begins
Date: Sept. 20, 1992
Score: Packers 24, Bengals 23
Why it mattered: Favre joined Green Bay prior to the season and played in mop-up duty the week before as the Pack fell to 0-2. This day, he came off the bench to replace an injured Don Majkowski and threw the game-winning TD pass to Kitrick Taylor with 13 seconds remaining.
4. Record breaking
Date: Sept. 30, 2007
Score: Packers 23, Vikings 16
Why it mattered: In his former house of horrors (the Metrodome), Favre throws a pair of touchdown passes -- his first being the 421st of his career, making him the NFL's all-time leader in that category.
5. Playoff bound
Date: Dec. 18, 1994
Score: Packers 21, Falcons 17
Why it mattered: Favre orchestrated a final drive, capped off when he ran for the game-winning touchdown with 14 seconds left against the Falcons to keep the Packers' playoff hopes alive. Green Bay ended up making the playoffs for the second straight season.

Source: Favre has 'itch' to return; player calls it 'rumor'
By Chris Mortensen
ESPN.com
(Archive)
With his family "tugging" on him to play, Brett Favre has an "itch" to come out of retirement and report to training camp with the Green Bay Packers later this month, according to sources close to the team and player.
Favre has communicated his potential desire to coach Mike McCarthy but talks have not advanced to a substantive stage, a Packers source said.
Favre was reached on Wednesday by Mississippi's Sun Herald newspaper and tried to calm the storm.
"It's all rumor," he said of reports that he wants to return.
