Favre ponders playing again

NEW YORK - Brett Favre will know in several weeks whether his surgically repaired arm will allow him to come out of retirement again.
The quarterback made his first public comments since retiring from the New York Jets in February in an interview Monday night on "Joe Buck Live." He said the only team he has spoken to is the Minnesota Vikings.
The three-time NFL MVP said James Andrews performed the surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago on his throwing arm. Andrews told him he would know in 4-5 weeks if he'll be able to make his throws.
Favre said Vikings coach Brad Childress wanted him to attend Minnesota's recent organized team activities, but he declined.
"I figured there would be a media frenzy if I was there," Favre said.
Asked by Buck if he would play this season, Favre replied, "Um ... maybe."
"I know people are tired of it, really," Favre said earlier of the drama that accompanies his annual waffling over retirement. "My intention, though it's good for you, isn't to create controversy."
