Brett Favre, wearing his old Green Bay Packers No. 4 jersey, is featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week as part of the magazine's "Where are They Now" issue.
Favre voices many of the same thoughts he did back in October when Journal Sentinel reporter Tyler Dunne visited him at his home in Mississippi, talking about his life today, the physical toll the game took on him, his reconciliation with the Packers after the messy departure in 2008, and more.
He also thinks he could still play in the NFL sort of. "I think I could play," he says. "As far as throwing, of course. I could make all the throws I made before. ... Were not trying to start some hes-coming-out-of-retirement deal. ... But I could play."
Favre will get his chance to show off his arm in a few weeks when he plays in a flag football game at Camp Randall stadium July 19, the day after he is inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.

Time to enjoy your retirement Brett!
Given how terrible many quarterbacks are today, I agree. For example, the Chief could run a pro-style offense and a touchdown from a wide receiver if he was QB.
With the right supporting cast, he probably could, and competitively.
Popping Corn - BFL! :)
