Brett Favre, at age 45, says he could still play in the NFL

Favre is on the cover of this week's SI, the annual "Where Are They Now?" issue.

At age 45, Favre has been out of the NFL for more than four years. He announced his retirement multiple times before finally walking away from the game for good in 2011 after two years with the Minnesota Vikings

“I think I could play,” Favre said. “As far as throwing. Of course, we’re not trying to start some he’s-coming-out-of-retirement deal.”

“Do I think I could play and lead a team? Look, no. But I could play. I could make all the throws I made before, I just couldn't throw it near as far, but that never matters anyway.”

Happy he got the Packers a Super Bowl win, but that doesn't mean I have to like him. Just go away.
