Sure he has changed his mind in the past, but the reason we're sick of Brett Favre is NOT Brett Favre, it's the perverted love affair the media has with him. They overblow and prolong every decision the man tries to make.
If he can still play, I don't care about him coming back. Even if he can't play...who cares, he'll be ruining one of the NFC's Super Bowl contenders, not MY team.

I agree that the media has a stupid obsession with drenching us in everything Favre.
But the fact remains that Favre has become a circus. Retiring, un-retiring, BS press conferences about being done for good, etc etc. That's all him. The media didn't make him do it. And don't give me the whole, "he just loves to play," bit. If he loved the game that much at this point, he would never have retired to begin with. He just would have kept showing up until his wheels fell off.
Ever since Aaron Rogers was ready to take the reins in GB, Favre's MO has been all about sticking it to Ted Thompson and the Packers front office. This isn't about the love of the game. Not even close. Otherwise, why is Minnesota the ONLY team he considered playing for? I mean, his career numbers in the Metrodome have been pretty bad. Why Minny? Who is their arch rival? Exactly.
And what the hell was last year about? He didn't give a rat's ass about the Jets. He couldn't sign with Minny last year, so the Jets were nothing but a big payday stop-gap until he could stick it to the Packers in Minnesota. He's had playing for the Vikings in his head since the day the Packers bid him adieu.
