NEW YORK (AP) — David Letterman did his best to lure Brett Favre out of retirement.
The MVP quarterback paid a visit to Letterman’s “Late Show” Thursday night and talked about life after pro football. And yes, Favre told Letterman he was indeed retired.
But, when Favre was asked if he might start feeling “something” as training camp draws closer, the former Green Bay Packers quarterback admitted that “something” was bound to happen.
That gave Letterman an opening. There could be adjustments to the summer training regimen if Favre came back, Letterman promised. Favre jokingly asked Letterman if he could work that out.
Letterman ribbed Favre that his retirement had turned Green Bay upside down. The talk show host told Favre that he heard they were going to shut down the city of Green Bay and move it to Michigan.
Favre, rarely seen in a jacket and tie, wore a button-down shirt and blazer for his “Late Show” appearance. He told Letterman he spends his post-football time driving his youngest daughter to school and tending his 400 acres near Hattiesburg, Miss.
