Favre’s promise should be taken as a joke

A report about Brett Favre making bet with a college baseball team immediately spread everywhere of the country, and people finally see some hope in the star quarterback’s return. However, don’t be so serious with whatever Favre says at this time, he might be just having fun.

Visiting with his Alma Mater and watching the Southern Mississippi University baseball team Golden Eagles playing baseball, Favre was asked by one of the young baseball players about his own playing status in 2010 NFL season, and the quarterback answered with more a bet than a promise- “If you guys go back to the College World Series this year, I will come back and play. How about that? You go back and I go back." Those young alumni could be proud for being able to determine the NFL star quarterback’s career future, but the pride did not seem enough to bring the 30-20 college baseball team to the College World Series, and Favre, the 19 year veteran quarterback, surely knows well of the team’s chance to win and was very possibly just joking with some kind purpose to offer the baseball team a motivation.

Favre used to make two official announcements on his retirement during the past two seasons, but still put on different styles of Favre jerseys for his 18th and 19th NFL seasons. A lot of people have learnt not to believe either official or casual statements on his status in a new season. Just keep mind open for any new updates.
