Don't read on unless you don't want to know what happens on Letterman tonight!
Brett Favre repeated today that he has retired from pro football but admitted to TV host David Letterman that as the Packers’ training camp gets close, “something’s bound to happen.”
Dressed in jeans, a button-down shirt and a tan blazer for a taping of CBS' "Late Show" to be broadcast tonight, Favre was evasive when Letterman asked what he meant by the comment.
“I don’t know,” Favre said. “Did I just say that?”
“You just said ‘something’s bound to happen,’ so this makes me think you’re not retired,” Letterman said.
“Butterflies, so – I don’t know, something’s bound to happen,” Favre said.
When Favre said he wouldn’t miss minicamps, Letterman asked him if he would be interested in playing if adjustments could be made for his summer training schedule.
“Can you get that worked?” Favre asked.
“Yes, yes, I can. I can take care of that,” Letterman replied, and the audience laughed and applauded.
But the conversation then focused on Favre’s successor Aaron Rodgers (“I think he’ll do well:” Favre) and the impact of Favre’s retirement on Green Bay.
“But you, you’re not only the heart and soul of football, but my God, what have you, you’ve turned that town upside down,” Letterman said. “What is Green Bay doing? I heard they’re shutting down the town. I heard they’re closing up and they’re moving to Michigan.”
Letterman used the occasion of Favre’s visit to hold up a case of the new EA Sports Madden ’90 Xbox 360 game, with Favre on the cover.”
