Favre Acting Like A Player Again?

Brett Favre is starting to act like a guy who is going to play more football in 2008 according to ESPN.

Favre has downplayed the talk and regarded it as no more than rumor but his brother and other teammates leave the door open.  Here's a few paragraphs from the ESPN story. 

(However, Favre's brother, Scott, said Wednesday night that Brett has been working out and put a return by No. 4 at "50-50." "There's no doubt he can play," Scott Favre told WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee. "He's in good shape, he's working out, we know he can still play, he's healthy, so, if he did, it wouldn't surprise me."

And at least one Packers player has said that Favre hasn't completely gotten the game out of his system.

On ESPN's "NFL Live," Packers defensive back Al Harris said on Wednesday: "I've talked to Brett and I know he has the itch to come back and play. If he will or not, I don't know. But I know he's feeling he wants to play.")

The comments by his brother and Harris sure sound like they're talking about a guy who may come back.

Aaron Rodgers the guy who is supposed to be taking over for Favre is having his own problems by making some statements to Packers fans. 

He made this statement when asked about what he needs to do to have the kind of relationship with Packer fans that Favre has had, “I don’t feel I need to sell myself to the fans,” Rodgers responded. “They need to get on board now or keep their mouths shut.”

Rodgers might be the one keeping his mouth shut if Favre comes out of retirement.
