America's sports media is in a frenzy as NFL star Brett Favre is pondering whether to play another season.

Favre played last season with the Minnesota Vikings and, until this point, has been undecided on whether to play the upcoming season or to retire for the umpteenth time in his career. The record-breaking quarterback has talked of retirement since 2002.

ESPN is reporting that the 40-year-old Favre was visited by three of his Vikings teammates in his home town in Mississippi and boarded a plane with them to Minnesota.

He is expected to make an announcement about his future in the next few hours, though it is believed he will confirm a 20th season in the NFL.
