The LOS ANGELES TIMES exploded a dirty bomb of conjecture with the report that Brett Favre maybe coulda might be thinking about weighing a comeback after retiring from the NFL for all of a full month. Missing all that playing time must have been rough on the Gunslinger.

Favre’s agent has already tried to nip this in the bud, but the rapid Favre philes in the media will hear nothing of it. So long as Peter King lives and breathes shall Brett remain in this league!

Naturally the timing of this coupled with the ridiculousness of the notion that the Packers would allow Favre to be dealt to another team render our latest episode of Favre Watch moot.

Of course, should the impossible happen and Favre take back the short-lived emotional retirement he announced and jilt the team he’s played with nearly his entire career only to come back, it might be with a different number, as math itself has laid the number four to rest.

They could always give him infinity on his jersey, as Favre will never go away, you see.
