Favre hangs NFL future on CWS
HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Brett Favre says he still isn't sure what he's doing next season, but he may have given some indication after visiting with the Southern Miss baseball team.
The Minnesota Vikings quarterback told the Golden Eagles on Thursday morning that if they can make it back to the College World Series for the second straight year, he will return for one more season in the NFL.
Favre has left fans hanging since the Vikings lost to New Orleans in the NFC Championship game. He signed a two-year contract with the Vikings before last season. Coach Brad Childress hasn't talked with Favre recently except by text message.
Southern Miss players have a lot of work to do if they want to force Favre into action. They are 30-20 and need wins to earn a postseason invitation.
Even we didn't have to deal with something as wacky as this...

Is this for real? Surely he was joking. I hope he was joking.

Trying to motivate his alma mater, I think this is being blown out of proportion

Yet the latest example in an exhausting list of Favre being a complete media whore. He simply cannot handle not being in the public eye..whcih is why he's going to play until nobody wants him anymore.

What an egomaniac. I disagree, Chuck. I don't think it is. It illustrates what an exaggerated sense of self-worth this guy has. As if these players aren't playing hard for themselves or their teammates, Favre interjects himself.
Excuse me, I don't think a pitcher is going to think, 'I gotta get this out or Favre won't come back.'

I don't disagree with your sentiment, I just think this isn't even newsworthy and people should just ignore it
That is pretty much where I stand on all things Favre now.

I agree with it with Chuck. Its like one of us saying we would buy a round if the Bucks win the conference. We would prob buy a round anyways, but its fun to tie it in to something bigger. I don't think it was a serious comment, but I do think it reveals he is planning on coming back already.
Add in a little bit of news coverage that favre wants and its all good.
