Brett Favre Done With Football, Unsure Of Future Plans

Brett Favre is done with football, according to what Favre told the Associated Press on Tuesday. Favre fans and haters, you may rejoice or roll your eyes accordingly.

Favre, speaking at a football camp at his alma mater, Southern Mississippi, told AP writer David Brandt that he is definitely done with football. Favre might not be the most trustworthy source on Brett Favre at this point, but he did file retirement paperwork with the NFL in January. And, well, Is Brett Favre Retiring? still indicates that Brett Favre is retiring.

As for his future, Favre told the AP that he has “no plans right now,” but that he enjoys working with young players. Favre certainly has the experience and football acumen to try his hand at coaching if he wants, but he has also been mentioned as a possible studio analyst frequently during his string of flirtations with retirement.

Or, and this is not to give Favre any ideas: he could come back to play football again. If history is any indication, that is a possibility that should probably not be ruled out until a few years after Favre shuffles off this mortal coil.
