Brett Favre stays that he'll remain retired, even if he gets the urge to play football again when the 2009 season rolls around. "I foresee getting the impulse to play," Favre told Sports Illustrated's Peter King. "But as good as Mike Tannenbaum has been to me, I could never bring myself to do it. I know I won't do it. If I did, I'd be putting the Jets in a tough spot, because I know they can't release me." The Jets, who declined comment, have said that they are taking Favre at his word that he is retired.
