The dust hasn't even settled from Super Bowl XLIII, yet Brett Favre is already finding his way back into football news. The NY Daily News is reporting that Favre will take "at least two to three weeks" before declaring his intentions for next season. The 39-year-old quarterback seems to be in constant flirtation with retirement, and this off season will be no different.There's little doubt that Favre had a commendable season, but how long can he keep it up? Unfortunately for Favre, performance isn't the only issue. He made $13 million in 2009, but the Jets are already projected to be $10 million over the salary cap. Thus, in a theme all to familiar to the Packers, Favre's lingering decision will have a major impact on Jets personnel planning. Allegedly Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum told Favre he could take "months," but one has to think that behind the scenes Jets management and Jets fans are fretting. Favre owes it to them to make a definitive decision, and make one soon.

If a commendable season means having a 1 to 1 TD-INT ratio and choking so hard that your team unexcusably misses the playoffs, then yes, he had a commendable season. The fact of the matter is that Brett Favre is a washed up, attention seeking diva that shoulda retired after his last magical season in Green Bay. If the Jets were being honest I'd almost bet they hope he does retire. I guarantee Thomas Jones does haha, but seriously, Favre needs to hang it up before he further tarnishes his legacy.
