[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 10703, member: 257"] Hey all, This board certainly has it's personalities! :) However, I can't believe some of the stuff I am reading on here. First, I would like to address the original poster who asked if I think Favre will retire after this season. From what I have read, there were two factors that made him decide to come back to Green Bay in 2005. The first one was that Deanna is responding very well to her cancer treatment. Favre stated that this was the number one factor that his retirement hinged on. He also stated the second reason for his return was Mike Sherman. I find it difficult to believe that anyone could possibly believe that Favre would sit back for a year and let his team "rebuild" after a 10-6 season and an NFC North title. Equally amusing is the thought of a team "rebuilding" while the GM plots to sack the head coach the following year. There is no way I believe that Favre would "agree" to such a scheme. The man is a born competitor, and hates to come second place to anyone. It is this determination that has been responsible for his storybook career as one of the top five quarterbacks ever to play the game. If he is returning to play in 2005, it is because he wants to win in 2005. It is certainly not because he hopes to win in 2007, 2008 or 2009. As far as Favre returning in 2006, I believe this depends on a number of factors, the main two being Deanna's health and if Sherman is resigned for a contract extension. At 36 years old, I doubt he will want to wait 2 - 3 years and see if his team comes together under a new head coach. As far as Holmgren returning to Green Bay next year... I recall a conspiracy theory being posted last week that Holmgren purposefully threw Super Bowl XXXII in a hissy fit for not being made both GM and HC. I for one don't believe this, BUT if it is even remotely true, I could not see Favre (or many other veterans for that matter) being too eager to play under someone like that, regardless of the fact he brought the Lombardi back to Lambeau. Go Pack! Robert C. Hedley [/QUOTE]
