Brett Favre has been in touch with Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson and new coach Mike McCarthy on an almost weekly basis of late, but there is nothing new to report regarding his decision to possibly retire ? a decision that Favre and wife Deanna are contemplating. The fact that Favre is calling regularly from his Mississippi farm to check in would seem to be a positive sign that he is still open to returning for a 16th season after a miserable 4-12 campaign that saw him throw a career-high 29 interceptions. "We've had some really nice conversations and I really like Brett and Deanna," Thompson said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. "I haven't tried to speculate. I know what I want him to do. But this is going to be their decision and I'm comfortable with that."
