In a shocking development, Brett Favre still hasn’t made up his mind about whether or not to return for another season. But in an interview Thursday morning with the Sun Herald, he did admit that he would like another shot at the defending Super Bowl champs.
‘‘I would love to go beat the Saints. I know I can still play at a high level. Last year was a great year, but it could have been better (winning NFC Championship).’’
Favre of course won’t admit that he’s returning because wants to milk whatever attention people are still paying him for as long as humanly possible. He also hates practice, so the longer he can push off having to return to camp the better.
But there’s little doubt that he’s going to return, or else there would have been more panic in Minnesota this offseason about the Vikings’ quarterback situation. Do you think Brad Childress would have anointed Tarvaris Jackson his starting quarterback in training camp like he did back in May if he knew Favre wasn’t coming back? There’s no way, especially considering the Vikings held on to Sage Rosenfels this offseason.
Lord Favre is coming back.
