One the one hand it is clear he is leaving the door open. On the other hand it looks like he is talking to someone who has already hung up the phone AND it just gives everyone a chance to rehash the distance between the two parties.

Plus, when its time to actually start to discuss the event, he has one less reason to talk to Favre directly.
Favre never sounds enthused about it. Kind of like, "Yes, eventually I will have that colonoscopy that I know I should have."
