Brett Favre's advice for Peyton Manning

Retired NFL great Brett Favre has some advice for current NFL great Peyton Manning who is considering whether or not to retire before next season. “I think the numbers he’s put up the last few years are staggering. Can he do that again? I guess that’s a question these teams have to ask if he chooses to play.”

“Initially he said this is gonna be a quick decision and it hasn’t been so quick,” said Favre. No one knows better than the NFL great how tough it is to decide to retire following a legendary career. The multiple-MVP quarterback is known for his career with the Green Bay Packers. After he made the decision to retire in 2008, he changed his mind and filed to be re-instated. He then went to play for the New York Jets for a year, told the team he was retiring and was released. The next year he played for the Packers’ NFC rival – the Minnesota Vikings (and led them to a division championship and was a game away from making it back to the Super Bowl).

Two things need to come together for Peyton Manning to play NFL football for another season:

Peyton Manning wants to play.

An NFL club offers Peyton Manning a contract to play.

If those two conditions are met, then Peyton Manning will play another year and we'll get to see more "Peyton-Face" whenever he throws for an interception.

Peyton is currently #13 on the all-time interception list and another season will allow him to sneak into the Top 10 (Eli's currently at #33 with years left to go.)

I'll be rooting for him.
