UPDATE: Favre now says he has not decided whether he is retiring. Should we be surprised?
Senior NFL Writer Jay Glazer reports that Favre has told The Minnesota Vikings team that he will not return to football. This will make it three times now that Favre has retired. Because Favre has changed his mind so many times, it is hard to say that his retirement is official.
Brett Favre expected to retire from the NFL making this his third time to retire.
According to a series of tweets from Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, “Brett Favre began telling Vikings officials last night he will NOT return for a 20th season.” Another said that “Favre is expected to issue a press release later today.” The quarterback’s ankle injury may be one reason that Favre is reluctant to play this year. ...

LOS ANGELES, CA – After meeting with Miami Heat President, Pat Riley and and owner Micky Arison, Derek Fisher has officially decided to remain with the Los Angeles Lakers. Teammate Kobe Bryant played a big part in Fisher’s decision making.
AC Green was the Lakers’ first-round selection in the 1985 college draft. He became the first rookie since LeRoy Ellis in 1962-63 to appear in every game. Green was named to the NBA All-Defensive Team in 1988-89 and was a starter in the 1990 All-Star Game. AC Green speaks to the youth of today to help them develop leadership skills and moral values.
Green went on to win three titles with the Lakers – two with the Magic Johnson-led teams (1987 and 1988) and one with the Kobe Bryant-Shaquille O’Neal 2000 team.
I just returned last week from an event in the Midwest that I provide athletes for each year. This year’s lineup included football Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett and baseball Hall of Famer Andre Dawson. And while both did a great job and received rave reviews, the person who stole the show was someone named Butch Lumpkin.
