Brett Favre said he still isn’t sure about next season, but he may have given some indication after visiting with the baseball team at his alma mater, Southern Miss.
The 40-year-old quarterback told the Golden Eagles yesterday morning that if they can make it back to the College World Series for the second straight year, he will return for one more season in the NFL.
Favre has left fans hanging since the Vikings lost to New Orleans in the NFC Championship game. He signed a two-year contract with the Vikings before last season.
Southern Miss players have a lot of work to do if they want to force Favre into action. They are 30-20 and need wins to earn a postseason invitation.
