With that said... I am not going to go look for a list of names because I have only had one cup of coffee and I am not up for it... but I remember a list being posted on a different site by someone and I was shocked there were many pro athletes who do change their mind return to the sport with a different team... but dont forget Lombardi himself retired from the Packers only to return to coach another team, Reggie White retired and came back and so did Michael Jordan a couple of times (ok basketball not football but still) ...

many is exagerated...plain and simple.
My whole point is this, Brett Favre is 'unique' because of what he put not just teh Packers thru these past few years but the entire NFL....
Plain and simple, if you are going to retire, sit out for a while and decide youthink you want to come back...fine.
But if every year for 3, 4, 5 years no one knows what you are going to do up until training camp in July and August, then it's a hassle because your team still has no idea of how to proceed!
Should I draft a QB this year? I dunno because we don't know what Favre is gonna do.
Should I start grooming this guy to take Favre's place? I dunno...because we DON'T KNOW what Favre is gonna do until 1/2 past July...
and think by the time Favre always tend to make up his mind, it's past the draft and any 1/2 way decent veteren QBs have been snapped up.....
It's an inconvenience for him to do this each season.
Again as stated before, when you mention Jordan and White...we aren't talking about guys who came out of retirement and inconveniencing a team.
I said it before in earler posts...anyone worth his salt knew that Jordan was coming back.
Reggie White came out due to need.
and honestly the only other person whose unretirement caused controversy was Magic Johnson's.....for obvious reasons....

I don't fault the Green Bay organization...please check out what I just wrote....Favre should have had his mind made up in March....either play or stay retired or immediately ask to go somewhere else.
I have never been a Favre fan but you cannot doubt his ability...he can make a team good and I think he can get the Jets out of the rut that they have been in, but seriously, the man needs to make his mind up.
