Well, he's not retiring today... said maybe a week or so after he gets home.
Looks like he's done.

Watching NFLNetwork now, said that he respects the coaches work ethic and has nothing but good things to say. Doesn't regret coming back - looks downtrodden overall.Quote:

Kind of sad; he's having the class to say all of the right things but he look incredibly demoralized
Whether or not Favre said those things about Mangini, didn't Bart Starr ask Vince Lombardi if he couldn't call him out in front of his teamates? Starr told Lombardi he could rip on him in private all he wanted but he needed to be a leader for his teamates and have them have confidence in him. So, I disagree with Mangini if he was calling out Favre in front of his teamates, and I also disagree with Favre for coming out with it too, but not for him not wanting Mangini to do so.
Holmgren called out Favre plenty of times on the sidelines. Amazing what happens when a coach won't stand for any player's poor performance.Quote:

Apart from a nagging shoulder injury that has gotten worse over the past few weeks, a major factor that will influence whether quarterback Brett Favre will return to the Jets in 2009 is whether and to what extent he’s happy.
Per FOX’s Jay Glazer, Favre isn’t happy playing for coach Eric Mangini.
The problem? In Green Bay, Favre had his own set of rules. In New York, Favre is treated like everyone else.
He regularly is called to the “principal’s office” to answer questions about the basis for Favre’s in-game decisions. Also, Mangini has called Favre out in front of the team.
So if Favre plays next year, it apparently won’t be for the Jets.

I suppose they would have better off with Pennington. But that picture looked different just 5 weeks ago. I think the Jets made a good decision, it revived fan interest in their team.Quote:

I think this will ultimately be the deciding factor.
Favre says MRI will affect decision to play next season

Time to call it a career Brett.
Go relax and enjoy life.
All sides need some healing and time will do just that.
I have no idea if Favre said that or not, but as to Mangini naming his son after Brett, that came early in the season, when things were going well for Favre and the team. I suspect things have been a bit more contentious the last month or so.Quote:

M3 has said Favre is a very coachable quarterback, so this story just doesn't seem to make sense. The nice part is that it's not our problem.Quote:

If Favre retires...the Jets get our 7th rounder.
