The Facts:
Favre said Thursday on Buffalo's WGR-AM (via NFL.com) that he lacks the motivation to return for a 21st NFL season, even after a not-so-storybook ending with the Minnesota Vikings in 2010. "I don't have that feeling, that chip on my shoulder," said Favre. "I mean, I could easily talk myself into that chip on my shoulder like, 'Hey everybody hates you,' ... I could motivate myself."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
But, the 41-year-old QB went on to say, motivating himself has become more difficult as he ages. Favre, the NFL's all-time leader in numerous passing categories, admitted that his career probably should have ended after what he called a "storybook" 2009 season, when he led the Vikings to the NFC Championship Game with his best statistical performance. But Favre said he believed he owed the team one more year after such a run. Hindsight is always 20-20, but you have to believe former HC Brad Childress wishes he hadn't strong-armed Favre into returning (and that he never brought Randy Moss on board, too).
