Lang Whitaker of SI.com lays out five possibilities for Brett Favre as the retired quarterback searches for a new career.

1. Republican Presidential Candidate: McCain’s been on autopilot for a while now, so maybe Brett could shake things up.

2. NFL Head Coach: Favre’s rep as a gunslinger might diminish his credibility with his players, but he’s always been a leader and a favorite on his teams.

3. Host of an ESPN Outdoors Show: Hunting isn’t for everyone, but it’s definitely for Favre.

4. MLS: Not sure what position he’s best suited for — along the back, perhaps? — but David Beckham can’t carry MLS on his own forever.

5. Chairman of Federal Reserve: Favre’s always specialized in Hail Mary’s and making the impossible possible. Maybe Brett can help America avoid the dreaded “R” word.

Pretty weak, Lang.
