Favre says he is not coming back

Apr 5, 2008 - 9:34 AM NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Brett Favre has refuted a report which stated he was having second thoughts about his retirement.

On Thursday, the Los Angeles Times reported the former Green Bay Packers quarterback - who announced his retirement last month - was contemplating a comeback with another team.

Citing NFL sources, the Times reported that Favre had been quietly talking with teams about their interest in trading for the three-time NFL Most Valuable Player.

However, Favre told SI.com on Friday that he is not considering coming out of retirement.

"That's the last thing I'm thinking about," Favre said. "I have no idea where it came from, but it certainly didn't come from me. I'm happy about my decision and I haven't once said, 'I wonder if I made the wrong decision.' I know it's the right one."

Favre also was surprised a story surfaced about him returning.

"It's crazy to me that I'm the guy they're all talking about, and the story is out there everywhere, and I have nothing to do with it," Favre told SI.com. "It's not something I'm thinking about. It's kind of funny. Even when I'm retired, they won't let me stay retired."

On March 6, Favre, who played with the Packers for 16 seasons, announced his retirement during an emotional press conference at Lambeau Field.

Favre, 38, has yet to give written notice of his retirement to the league or players' union.
