To return or not to return ...

The last act of Brett Favre’s Hamlet didn’t play so well in Green Bay, and a repeat performance in the coming months isn’t likely to draw rave reviews in New York, either.

Favre’s indecision last off-season on whether to return to Green Bay, his subsequent footsie-playing with Minnesota, and his pouting and posturing even turned off die-hard Packers fans — and his eventual trade to the Jets was seen by many as more relief than tragedy.

Hailed as “savior” in New York, Favre played relatively well the first 11 games of the season, but his dismal play the final five games (nine interceptions and just two touchdown passes) helped cost the Jets the playoff, cost Eric Mangini his job, and cost Favre whatever locker room affection he had earned in the Big Apple.

Favre’s play was knocked this week by running back Thomas Jones, and an anonymous Jet ripped his attitude, calling him a “distant” teammate who spent a lot of time away from the other players — in an office especially designed for him.

As for his return next season, safety Kerry Rhodes said,
"If he's dedicated and he wants to come back and do this, and do it the right way ... and be here when we're here in training camp and the minicamps and working out with us ... then I'm fine with it," Rhodes said. "But don't come back if it's going to be half-hearted or he doesn't want to put the time in with us."
