Breaking News: Brett Favre Announces He Will Not Play Next Year........Ho Hum

Jay Glazer is reporting that Brett Favre will not play for the Minnesota Vikings or any other teams this season. The Glazer tweet says, "Favre has told teammates he will NOT play this season, citing wear and tear on his body. Team is hoping he will change his mind." I'm sure the Vikings are hoping he will change his mind. They're now stuck with either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels as their QB. Not exactly inspiring.

Favre says he's not coming back because his surgically repaired ankle isn't healthy enough for him to continue to play. He might still be hurt, but I'm not buying he's not coming back until the season starts. It's only August 3rd and we're still more than a month away from the start of the NFL season. He's burned his bridge for anyone to give him the benefit of the doubt. Brett Favre announces he will not play this season...............ho hum, move on.

Update: I would avoid ESPN today if you don't want non-stop Favre coverage.

Update:  Vikings coach Brad Childress addressed the media a few minutes ago. He knows nothing and then promptly passed out.
