The fact is Bus Cook DID ask for Favre's release last week which was "respectfully declined" by the Jets. He's just enabling leverage and testing the waters IF Brett CAN come back from the Biceps injury.
The shit storm will start around training camp if Brett wishes it to be. As far as media, he has nothing to lose if he's so inclined to sack TT, as he sounds bitter as hell and I doubt the Vikes would say no if he wanted to play for the minimum.
In defense to those that think he's washed up...maybe true, but his stats were damn fantastic when the Jets were 8-3 and the talk on ESPN of the best of the AFC (Brett's stats were amazing too at the time) before his last 5 miserable games with his injury. We'll see though what happens...
The guy (Brett) has a huge ego complex and feels he's still the man to beat and can play (he's said it recently..if healthy), so I'll see he's retired when he's not playing in 2009. It may be true, but doubt it. Damn entertaining though...
