3 for sure it probably just that,he's living his dream and name one person that wouldn't do the same.

1 and 3

Answer 5

All he knows is FOOTBALL. He definantly has ENDLESS love for the game. He's still doing good, has good health...why not do what he loves to do? He's still the man. I don't think he's egotistical, I think that alot of BS was talked, and I also believe that he was asked to give the Packers an answer after the last season...he needed more time is all. I'm glad he's back (not with the Jets) but you can always count on a good game when Brett is on.

Answer 6

He doesn't know how to do anything else.  It's all he has.

Answer 8

Numero uno.  He can't bear to be out of the spotlight.

Answer 9

All the other greats in sports history that have done the same thing-- now it's an issue? Brett is a football god, he is the best at what he does. He probably just talks about retirement to appease his wife. Deanna realizes how miserable he is without the game, and tells him to go back. He plays because he still can.  

Answer 10

3 for sure.
