You can type all the caps you want.. yes, he did say it was for his charity golf tournament DURING the press conference. The problem is, he told no one BEFORE the press conference that it was going to be about the charity golf tournament.

Common sense should tell you that if the press conference is being held during his charity event, then that is the purpose of said conference. If you even saw the press conference you could notice the frustration in fis facial expressions, and hear it in his voice. It was obvious that he was not happy with being asked questions about his possible retirement. Of course, as I said, you would know if you saw it.

Common sense does not tell you that. We are in April, workout minicamps have just been held, the draft is coming, you don't know what the Packers are thinking as picking a QB in the draft, the "will he or won't he" soap opera has been playing since the end of last regular season four months ago. When an announcement comes out that "Brett Favre is calling a press conference" the last thing that pops on anyone's mind is Favre's golf tournament.

"The Brett Favre Foundation is calling a press conference " is very different from "Brett Favre is calling a press conference". Besides, there was speculation in all mayor media outlets for many days (if not weeks) before the conference that Favre was going to make an announcement about his NFL career in said conference, and Favre and/or "his camp" had plenty of time and opportunities to clarify what the press conference was going to be about, but they chose not to.

The most dangerous place on earth is between Brett Favre and a TV camera.

The guy isn't retiring, he loves the circus too much. He wants at least one more year of slurping. John Madden talking about "how much fun he's having", Dan Marino saying, "he should play until he doesn't want to play anymore", the Fox guys making excuses for his dumb decision making and bad play. 2006-7, one more year of slurping Brett Favre.
