Favre said he told Thompson that if the team doesn't want to wait for his decision, then he should be "cut loose." "When you sit down and tell a GM, 'I don't know if I can give you everything'—and I have—that's usually the first ticket out of town," Favre said. Thompson said Monday the team wants Favre to return and is willing to wait for his decision. "That's . a decision Brett has to make with his family," Thompson said. "They'll get it worked out." McCarthy said Favre told him playing another year wouldn't be "that big a deal," but referred to other issues that could push him toward retirement. Favre's family has been through a string of difficulties in recent years, from his father's death to his wife's bout with breast cancer to his family members' displacement by Hurricane Katrina. "I still know I can play," Favre said in the ESPN interview. "I still love to play. But there's just so much more to it than that now. I never thought it would be complicated, never thought mentally I would give out before I did physically." The Associated Press You need advice. Take ours. Write to advice@chronicle.utah.edu.
