The Packer Pundit

I can't say it wouldn't happen," Favre said. "If it comes to a point where they do start over and I feel like I can play and they say, 'Brett, if you want to go somewhere else, go ahead, but we've got to start over. It's time for us to rebuild. It just doesn't make sense, so do what you want.' If I got the itch at some point, I can't say 'no.' "

Favre told Sports Illustrated recently that remarks by CBS-TV's Phil Simms prompted him to return for at least another season. In the interview with Costas, Favre provides more details about the day he decided to keep playing. Favre said on the night of April 14 he was listening to Simms being interviewed on the NFL channel on Sirius Satellite Radio. Sirius is the pay radio partner of the National Football League. "That night, I remember it as if it was yesterday, and in my truck I have satellite radio," Favre said. "They said, 'Phil Simms is coming on in 30 minutes, going to discuss Brett Favre's situation, whether or not he should come back or not.'

"I said, 'I wouldn't mind listening to his advice.' "


Simms said that night: "Play as long as you can. When you think it's over, play another or two years... because life after football, it's forever."

Said Favre: "That's me. I said, 'You know, he's right. I should go back because I know I still can play. I know I still want to.' "
