Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre may be back to lead the team again next season, no matter what happens in Saturday's NFC Divisional playoff game vs. Seattle.
Despite what appeared to be a teary-eyed farewell after last season, Favre has enjoyed a remarkable year, throwing for more than 4,000 yards with 28 touchdowns in leading the Packers to a 13-3 record and NFC North regular season title.
Favre's success has probably led to second thoughts from the future Hall of Famer, who told a Mississippi newspaper on Thursday that he is leaning toward prolonging his career at least another season.
Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy is skeptical about Favre's return, as he said he hasn't broached the subject with his star quarterback. He also doesn't like the timing of the story, coming on the heels of a very important game.
"I'm trying not to laugh, but I have not been part of any conversation with Brett on that topic," McCarthy told AP. "And I think we need to just move on and focus on Seattle, because that's what we are focused on. I'm sure that's what he's focused on."
Still, Favre may have his sights set on making another Super Bowl bid next season, according to his recent comments.
"For the first time in three years, I haven't thought this could be my last game," Favre told the newspaper. "I would like to continue longer."
