?Football Back? began trending on Twitter when the NFL lockout was finally ended (and when the owners reached an agreement amongst themselves, but we?ll let that one slide). ?Favre Back? is a trend that could ignite in the near future if Brett makes yet another return to the league. His agent quickly denied any rumors of a Favre-return, but he may have also accidently revealed that he is interested in one.
His agent talked to The Clarion Ledger about the Favre rumors saying:
?Brett Favre retired in January. He has not talked to any teams, including Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia Eagles, the Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks. He has not talked to anyone about playing football. He's retired, period.?
Yeah, he said ?he?s retired, period,? what could you possibly interpret out of that? The agent didn?t just deny the rumors. He could?ve just said that last sentence, but he didn?t.
Favre?s agent named specific teams, the Panthers, Eagles, Cardinals and Seahawks. The Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings are really the only teams that No. 4 was linked to with legitimate rumors. Where did those other teams come from?
No one expected Favre to want to play for the horrendous Carolina Panthers. Fans and analysts alike believe that Kevin Kolb will ultimately end up in Arizona. The Seahawks are an up and coming team that needs a young quarterback.
None of those teams were thought to be strong possibilities as Favre?s destination, but maybe those names were mentioned because those are the football teams that Favre is actually interested in playing for.
Who knows; it?s just speculation, but if Favre had a list of teams, that?s one way it could accidentally be revealed.
