| Updating previous reports, the Fox News segment has aired, and Brett Favre has told his side of the story, the Green Bay Press Gazette reports. "I was not totally ready to commit," Favre says of his March 3 press conference. "(I) sort of left the door open. But they wanted an answer, and am I mad at them for that? No. And I think that’s what needs to be cleared up, is that, hey, you wanted an answer? I gave you the honest answer at that time." He explains that he wanted to wait until training camp to make a decision. Favre adds, "I was told that playing in Green Bay was not an option." He has not signed his retirement papers and has asked to be released. "Apparently now, they want to protect my legacy by bringing me back and having me be a backup. Boy, that, that is really good," Favre concludes. |
