Brett Favre Coming Back Out of Retirement Again?
Rumors have circulated that Brett Favre is once again coming out of retirement.
The rumor was that the Philadelphia Eagles were intrigued by the notion of bringing Favre in to back up/mentor Michael Vick. Favre, who mentors to nobody. Vick, who just got free of Kevin Kolb looking over his shoulder. The Eagles, who have created/fostered more than their share of drama over the past five years -- enough to make them seem like Cowboys East.
The rumor was so noxious that the Eagles dismissed it with great vigor and verve almost as soon as it saw daylight, and normally teams like to let a rumor that has some link to reality marinate in the sun to see how the customers like it. In short, no Favre to the Eagles.
