Beefcake's Superbowl Prediction: Minnesota 42, New England 0.


Brett Favre essentially ended his retirement last night, revealing that he has talked to the Minnesota Vikings, and is even working with a team trainer to rehabilitate his surgically repaired right arm.

The longtime Green Bay Packers star not only said playing for rival Minnesota "makes perfect sense," but actually referred to the Vikings as "we" at one point.

Favre spoke at length on the debut of HBO's Joe Buck Live. He told the host that the Vikings' head trainer, Eric Sugarman, had visited him in Hattiesburg, Miss., on Sunday to show him some exercises related to rehabbing his arm.

So this is no longer a "maybe." Favre made it clear that only if his arm fails to respond to surgery will he stay retired. And that Minnesota is the only place he'll play.

Favre said he was told by famed surgeon James Andrews, who performed the arthroscopic surgery on his right arm, that he should know if it was a success in four or five weeks.

Since the surgery took place more than two weeks ago, it seems likely Favre will be announcing his "official" return sometime around the Fourth of July.
