Question

Why did Favre say the he will not play next season?

Answer 1

Brett Favre on Thursday told the NFL Network he will not play next season. In an interview with the network, Favre was asked directly, “Are you coming back in 2011?” Favre hesitated for a second, broke into a small grin, then shook his head and answered, “No.” Favre, 41, has announced his retirement each of the past three offseasons, only to return to play. This year, he said his Vikings teammates had to convince him to come back, and when he arrived in August he said that this would be his last season.
