BRETT Favre has faced demanding questions from the media for 20 years, never more than this season while he's been embroiled in a messy NFL investigation and struggled mightily on the field for the Minnesota Vikings.
He has also been battered on the field during the Vikings' disappointing 4-7 start.
When he finally does decide to hang up the pads, which he insisted on Wednesday will happen for good at the end of this long and trying season, the 41-year-old quarterback said that he may look to turn the tables.
"Might be a reporter," Favre quipped.
"Ask some tough questions."
He answered a few more of them on Wednesday.
After the Vikings fired coach Brad Childress, who had a well-documented history of butting heads with his QB, some figured the old man would change his mind again and decide to play in 2011.
After all, Favre confidante Leslie Frazier is the interim coach. "I'm done," Favre said, his voice hoarse from being sick for the past week.
"I'm done."
The way this season has gone, it's hard to blame him.
The investigation into allegations that he sent a game-day hostess inappropriate text messages and photos while both worked for the New York Jets in 2008 has dragged on for two months now.
An NFL spokesman said on Wednesday that the investigation is continuing and Favre said he has not been summoned by the league for another meeting and has no idea when it will reach a conclusion.
"To be honest with you, I haven't even thought about it," Favre said.
"My focus is on this team, which is tough enough as it is. I'm not concerned about that (investigation)."
