After nearly three months of what he described as intense and often emotional soul-searching, Brett Favre decided to remain retired from the NFL rather than become the Minnesota Vikings' starting quarterback.
Favre told ESPN's Ed Werder that the decision not to play for the Vikings was incredibly difficult, and in the process he indicated that he is unlikely to ever considering playing again in the NFL.

Michael Vick was reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday and could play in regular-season games as early as October.
Vick can immediately participate in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and can play in the final two preseason games -- if he can find a team that will sign him. A number of teams have already said they would not.

Should you expect him to be dropping 47 points in a regular season NBA game any time soon? No. Should you be surprised if Anthony Morrow(notes) does drop 47 in an NBA game any time soon? No.
Morrow did drop 47 in a summer league game last night, and I have to tell you, that's significant. It's worth our attention. The kid is no joke.
