This is the same exact AP piece from above... Everywhere I have happened to poke around, Green Bay local dailies in particular, give it the title it's given as per the post above,... all except this out-of-town resource... Look at the difference in the selection of a title... From off "the Gridiron Newsstand":
"Favre says '06 will be finale if he plays"
Same exact words, quite a different emphasis!  This is just rhetoric, but I thought it interesting enough to post about. It's, at least, an object lesson in "media slant" particularly relevant to the goings on of this forum.  Don't believe the hype!

TUNICA, Miss. Brett Favre, one of the NFL's great quarterbacks, is still unsure if he will play another year with the Green Bay Packers.

That would be personal.

Your mind-reading skills are better than mine these days.  Humans are complex creatures. Human emotions and rationale are unpredictable. It is totally plausible that the man simply does not know. It is only mid-April. Make this statement again come June, and I am with you, but not yet.

Mind you, this definitely could be the case (but I don't think Miami would be his #1 choice).

Here's just an interesting thought that popped into my head (while I labor over Symbolic f'n Logic)... As I stated, I don't disagree with the take that Favre would (have) like(d) to (have) go(ne) to a legit playoff contender. BUT, do yous think that maybe, just maybe, another possibility is that Brett would have liked to have played out his final days back down in New Orleans? Playoffs or not, what would give him "purpose" (to play another year or two) would be contributing to the rebuilding of his hometown team and hometown (area), a purpose embedded in the very circumstances, a real-world purpose that is not evanescent like (mere) Super Bowl dreams, which he has already lived, mind you. Playoffs or a Super Bowl would just be the cherry on top in this scenario. For that matter, how about Steve McNair? The same could stand for him. ... Drew Brees went and unexpectedly mucked both those scenarios up, though.
Anyway,... just throwin' it out there...

What a turn-around in just two years... We can recall last year's saga, now, this this year... This guy definitely was not made to play in Green Bay. Honestly, given the timing of this, I think he dislikes Favre for what he said during last year's saga and is unhappy to hear that he is returning. But, we all know he can't trump Favre... and, mind you, shouldn't. From "The REAL Feed":
Packers' Walker gets OK to talk trade with other teams
ESPN: NFL (27.04.2006 10:12)
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Javon Walker has received permission from the team to explore trade opportunities and a deal is expected before this weekend's NFL draft, league sources with direct knowledge of the situation said.
Wide receivers have become such prima donas in today's game...
