Favre seeks release from Packers (updated)

[jsarno]

I honestly don't know what to think about Favre. I was "sure" he was going to stay retired, clearly I was wrong there...I can see it from both perspectives. I can see how the packers moved on, and want / need to start the Rogers era, but I can also understand the need for Favre to play one more year since he did so well last year. My biggest problem is that he teared up and called it a career. I was sad and happy for him at the same time. But he basically promised he was leaving. I am just not sure he should take that back, nor am I sure that the Packers should release him. He really put the packers in a sticky situation.
For as opinionated as I usually am, I just don't know.
