We'll let you know the next time he changes his mind or officially retires. And if he finds an option other than playing again or retiring, we'll let you know that too.

"He never socialized with us, never went to dinner with anyone." He accused the quarterback of being "distant" and unwilling to integrate himself with the team after he was acquired. He apparently spent most of training camp and the preseason in a specially designated office rather than the locker room.This latest announcement comes on the heels of Thomas Jones' interview where he blamed turnovers for the Jets late season collapse. Favre will reportedly take until the end of February to make a decision on his future, but it seems that his teammates are not so eager to see him return.
