Brett Favre has stated he doesn't want to play for the Vikings and agent Bus Cook has stated his client is done with the NFL.
But does that rule out a comeback with the IFL? Me go? Mark Rypien did it a few years ago in the GLIFL with the Rochester Raiders (currently in the IFL of course, within the league parameters).
I could see Favre liking to play just to play. If billings blog guy or someone else can get an interview with Favre and ask him that would be really fun to see.

ANCHORAGE - Brett Favre is the next in the latest line of Alaska gunslingers.
Just he'll be throwing a football with a cannon arm.
Favre is the starting QB for the Alaska Wild, the latest chapter in a storied football career that just keeps getting better and beitar.
"I am excited to be a Wild," said the HOF QB. "It may take some time to get used to the rules, but it's going to be a good 'ol time for the good 'ol boy."
The Quarterback was asked about what kind of stats he could compile with the Wild.
"These are exciting times, I've been known as the gunslinger during my career. I can use my arm in this league to the max and probably get a lot of yards and scores. I'm here to win a championship though."
Just my take on Brett Favre IF he signed in the IFL. Would be a lot of fun.

Yeah, not going to happen. Rypien playing was a publicity stunt only and he'd been retired many years by then. Favre may still return to NFL and he wouldn't risk injury or play in a minor league for any reason I could ever see.

Though if that game were a blowout Rypien would've gotten in for a series (and since that was the plan, why not have that one be the second NYNJ game instead of the PH game), it went into overtime.
One of the better games I've ever seen, too.

Just stop the madness and stick Favre in his rocking chair already! I like the guy but he's really starting to annoy me with all this unretiring nonsense!
