Message: <blockquote data-quote="longtimefan" data-source="post: 288240" data-attributes="member: 145">A day after reports surfaced that Brett Favre had begun telling the  Minnesota Vikings he was planning to retire, Favre now says he will play  this season if he thinks his surgically repaired ankle can handle it,  and he denies that he told the Vikings he was retiring.Ed Werder of ESPN caught up with Favre in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and reported on SportsCenter that Favre said he hasn't made up his mind about playing.Favre  also told Werder he did not send text messages to Vikings players or  management officials indicating that he was planning to retire. There  may be some ESPN-on-ESPN crime on this story, though, as just minutes  after Werder reported that, ESPN's Chris Mortensen said on SportsCenter  that Favre "sent out some text messages that led -- or misled -- some  people to believe he was retiring, not that we should have believed it  anyway."  Whatever Favre said via text message, he told Werder he'll play  if he can. It's still an open question whether he can, however, as  Werder described Favre as "hobbling somewhat" on his ankle.Favre  said he talked to the Vikings about when he'll make a final decision,  but he wouldn't reveal when that would be. In other words, Favre will  keep stringing everyone along for at least a couple more weeks.</blockquote>
