Reports throughout the week have claimed Favre was meeting with Vikings coach Brad Childress to discuss returning yet again from retirement. However, reports also claimed that the shoulder problems that plagued Favre at the end of the year last year had not healed enough for the gunslinger to return.

While I don’t doubt for a minute Favre’s desire to stick it to the Packers front office, I believe the collateral damage that would be done to the Packer fans and the health of his shoulder will keep Favre on the sidelines this year.

Of course, thanks to the golden boy’s many tearful retirements that didn’t stick, I’m sure well be subjected to several more speculative stories about Favre’s plans for the upcoming season.
