Favre to tell Jets he'll retire

Brett Favre has told the New York Jets he will retire.

In a one-word response to USA TODAY, Favre's agent, Bus Cook, said the story ESPN broke this morning that the 18-year veteran intends to retire is true.

"Confirmed," Cook told USA TODAY.

The Jets had told Favre they wanted to know this month so that they could begin to make plans for next season.

Favre, 39, initially retired from the Packers last year before changing his mind. He returned to Green Bay when training camp started, and the Packers traded him to the Jets in August.

Favre told ESPN in an e-mail that he does not regret ending his career with the Jets instead of the Packers.

The e-mail read:

"Mike and Woody, as well as the entire organization, have been nothing short of outstanding,'' Favre said in the email. "My teammates -- Thomas (Jones) and Kerry (Rhodes) included -- were a pleasure to play with. Eric (Mangini) could not have been any better. I enjoyed playing for him. My time with the Jets was short, but I'm honored to be given that chance.''

Jones and Rhodes were critical of Favre after the season when the team's 8-3 start fizzled to a 9-7, non-playoffs finish.

The Jets have not confirmed the move. A team official on Wednesday night said they had not official word, but that "could change at any minute."

Plane Flies From Minneapolis To Hattiesburg, And Back Again

Posted by Mike Florio on April 29, 2009, 10:59 p.m. EDT
It probably means nothing.

But, let?s face it, Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport is hardly a major hub of transportation.

Only five flights arrived there today, and only six departed.
One of the arrivals came from Minneapolis, and one of the departures headed back there.

The plane from Minneapolis arrived at 9:11 a.m. local time, and left at 4:14 p.m. local time.

It probably has nothing to do with one of the more famous residents of Hattiesburg. After all, he?s retired from playing football, and he has no intention of coming back.

Favre said so himself. ?It?s all rumor. [There?s] no reason for it.?
Oh, wait. That was last year, when Favre shot down in early July talk that he wanted to come back.

Since he was telling the truth then, he?s surely telling the truth now.
