GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Brett Favre (fahrv) insists he's thrown his last pass despite reports to the contrary.
ESPN was reporting Wednesday that Favre is considering coming out of retirement. But the former Green Bay Packers quarterback has dismissed the report, telling a Mississippi newspaper Web site that "it's all rumor."
The paper reported that Favre sent a text message saying there's "no reason" for a media frenzy.
ESPN reported that an unidentified Packers source said the 38-year-old Favre told coach Mike McCarthy in the past two weeks that he has the itch to play. Cornerback Al Harris said on ESPN's NFL Live that Favre also made similar comments to him.
Favre retired March 6th after a 17-year career.

An old Favre (2007 passer rating per NFL.com) is better than a Grossman, Jackson, Harrington, Garcia, Huard, Hasselbeck, McNabb, Warner, Brees, Cutler, Schaub, Palmer, Anderson, Rivers, Campbell, Griese, Boller, Culpepper, Kitna, Carr, Pennington, Collins, Leftwich....should I continue?
