NFL FOOTBALL QUOTES
Bret Favre's Retirement from Retirement
.
Brett Favre spent his first few days of freedom wild boar hunting.
.
Teammate Frank Winters thinks that Favre will have no problem finding things to keep him occupied other than football.
Winters suggests "knocking down trees and stuff" on his tractor.
.
Favre hasn't officially filed his retirement papers yet, but he just thinks that's a formal step, and plans to do it later.
.
When receiver Donald Driver was asked whether or not Favre would come back for a ceremonial coin toss to start the 2008 NFL season, he laughed.
.
"He ain't coming back for no coin toss," Driver laughed. "He's going to be a ghost. That's the thing—he has to get away from the game for a little while."
.
The prospect of a return from retirement, not unlike that of Michael Jordan, is also considered highly unlikely around the Packers camp.
.
"I don't know," Driver said of Favre's future in football. "It'd be hard to say."
.
Green Bay Packers president and chief executive, Mark Murphy, a former safety for the Washington Redskins, said retirement is extremely tough to cope with.
.
"I didn't really miss training camp, didn't really miss the minicamps," Murphy recalled. "But when the games came around in the fall, that's when it really becomes difficult to see your teammates and friends playing. But people have gone through it. And he obviously thought it through. He really knew that it was time for him to step down."
