Favre says he's considering playing again
Football Betting Lines
06/15/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Making his first public appearance since retiring from the New York Jets, Brett Favre said Monday night he's considering playing again, this time for the Minnesota Vikings.
Favre spoke on the new HBO show "Joe Buck Live" and said he had surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago on his throwing arm, but indicated his status on returning hinges on how the arm heals. He said Dr. James Andrews told him it would be 4-to-5 weeks before knowing if the surgery was successful.
"If it's not up to par when the time comes, then you can't play," said Favre, who also noted he's throwing the football now.
Favre said he met with a Vikings trainer on Sunday to work on different exercises.
"It makes a lot of sense because the pieces are in place," Favre said of possibly playing for the Vikings. "They do have a great running back (Adrian Peterson), a great running game. If I go there, there are no guarantees. We all know that. I went through that last year with New York."
Favre played for the New York Jets last season, but was hampered by a torn biceps tendon. He then announced his retirement, for a second straight season and was then granted his release by the Jets.
Quarterbacks Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels are battling for the Vikings starting job, but that was before Favre entered the picture.
The three-time MVP ended a very brief retirement in the summer of 2008 and was traded by Green Bay to the Jets, helping them to an 8-3 start last season. But Favre and the team stumbled over the final five games, as the Jets finished the campaign with just one win to conclude the season at 9-7, missing the playoffs.
The Jets selected USC quarterback Mark Sanchez with the fifth overall selection in the NFL Draft and subsequently released Favre, who reportedly wanted to become a Viking before the Packers traded him to the Jets last offseason.
Favre spent 18 seasons in the NFL and starred for 16 years with the Packers, who acquired him from Atlanta before the 1992 season. He threw four passes in two games with the Falcons, who had selected the Southern Mississippi product in the second round of the 1991 NFL Draft.
The ultimate gunslinger, Favre was a seven-time All-Pro and was selected to 10 Pro Bowls, including this past season with New York. He left the game as the NFL's all-time record holder in several categories, including wins by a starting quarterback, passing yards, touchdowns, interceptions and consecutive games started.
Favre completed 61.6 percent of his passes for 65,127 yards with 464 touchdowns and 310 interceptions. He led the Packers to a pair of Super Bowls, winning his lone title after the 1996 season in a 35-21 victory over New England. The Packers lost to Denver in the Super Bowl the following season.
