From the transcript of Brett Favre’s interview with Greta Van Flippin’ Susteren.

I would hope so. And I keep going back and talking with people. I am guilty of retiring early. There is a reason for that. The major issue is, ‘Why did he retire?’ He asked for his release because he doesn’t want to play in Green Bay. That’s not true. And I hope that the people are hearing this and say, ‘OK, that clears it up.’

There are going to be some people who say, ‘So what?’ And once again, them moving on does not bother me. It doesn’t. I totally understand that. By me retiring March 3, I knew that that could possibly happen. All I was saying was, ‘You know, I’m thinking about playing again.’ The ‘itch’ has been used. That’s been the word that’s been used. If you want to say itch or the fire has come back or whatever, if I’m going to play it’s going to be 100 percent commitment, and it’s not going to be in March. And so, if you’ve moved on, you tell me one thing. Don’t come back and tell the public … just say, ‘We’ve moved on. We’ll work with Brett on whatever it is.’ Don’t make up a lot of stuff or give half of the truth and say we want to let you be the backup and he’s got to understand and all this. I mean it’s ridiculous. It really is.

Well, that certainly clears that right up.
