Official reports say Brett Favre has retired. Maybe he has; maybe he hasn’t.
His agent says “I don’t know” as to whether Favre will change his mind. Favre apparently has been leaning toward coming back, but now feels the Packers don’t want him back.
If that’s true, then there are a lot more questions to be asked.
Sounds like Favre was unhappy Green Bay didn’t pursue Randy Moss, again. Favre announcing his retirement just after Moss re-signed with New England might reveal his current mindset.
Favre might just be stubborn enough to stay retired, even if he knows he could play at least one more season. If he was going to retire all along, he should have, and probably would have, informed the Packers sooner so they could pursue some of the top free agents.
They’re all gone now. So, too, is Favre.
Maybe.

It didn’t take long to realize we were getting close to Lambeau Field today. At the Walgreen’s on Oneida Street, their sign read, “Attention Giants: Bandaids and pain killers on sale.”
We got here easily, with traffic light two hours before kickoff. Most everybody already had arrived, even though the temperature was 2.
The cold didn’t seem to stop tailgaters. Just might have taken longer to light those grills.
One hour, eight minutes to kickoff. Guess we’ll have to eat.
If you’re wondering, it’s a balmy 74 degrees or so in the press box. Plenty of additional body heat, as I’ve never seen this many media ever at a Packer home game.
Must be an important game going on.

It’s never been so easy to get to Lambeau Field. Green Bay looked like a ghost town when we pulled in a half hour ago. Well, except for the yo-yo in a minivan with two Packer flags flying who took a U-turn with no warning inches in front of us. Other than that, the streets were empty. The parking lots — including front and back yards of neighboring houses — were full, though, from several blocks away. Thankfully, there’s no wind here, so the walk to the stadium wasn’t too bad. The lack of wind makes me think that the passing games should do well today. It’s cold, but not bothersome. — Matt Trowbridge

Register Star reporter Kevin Haas is funny. That’s why we asked him to write how Green Bay is better than New York. I actually laughed out loud.
