Once again Brett Favre has announced his retirement, and once again I'm having a hard time believing it.
When the Vikings take the field for the first game of the regular season and Favre still isn't on the roster, then I'll believe it.
Everyone should keep in mind that he can very easily change his mind at any time during the next month and still be the Vikings starter in Week 1.
The main reason why he's decided to potentially call it quits is due to his ankle that may not be responding to the surgery as well as he would've hoped.
If Favre's retirement ends up being final then there's no reason to push the panic button if you're a Vikings fan. They still have a top five defense and solid offense.
Many of you may be forgetting that Tarvaris Jackson was gradually improving before Favre came into the picture. Not to mention you have Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, and Sidney Rice in your arsenal on offense.
With Favre the Vikings are right there with the Saints for Super Bowl favorites, whereas without him you move them back behind the Cowboys but still a viable contender.
Just like I said after his second retirement from the Jets, I will not be the least bit surprised if Favre is playing football next season.
