MILWAUKEE, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre may not have decided if he wants to undertake a 17th NFL season, but fans almost unanimously want him back.
Around this time last year there was a lot of talk that Favre should move on, but now there have been reports that fans believe Favre should postpone retirement for another year at the very least, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.
Last time around the talk-show airwaves and online chat forums were abuzz about switching Favre out for newcomer and first-round draft pick Aaron Rodgers. They're much calmer this time.
"It's close to unanimous. I'm sure there are a few people left who think it's time (for Favre) to move on and find out if Rodgers can play, but they're probably the same people who eat an ice cream cone from the bottom up," said longtime radio host Steve "The Homer" True, the host of "World's Greatest Sports Talk Show" in Milwaukee and Madison.
"It hurts me, because it's one less topic to talk about," said True. "'Do you want him back?' was great material because it was divided. Now, there's no e-mails, no calls. Everybody, or as close to everybody as everybody can be, wants him back."
