    Ever get the feeling you'll be hearing Brett Farve rumors until 2050 or so?

    This is why.

    In the latest news regarding the former Jets never-ending playing-status saga, Dr. James Andrews, who performed recent shoulder surgery on Favre, told the Clarion Ledger in Mississippi that the QB wants to play for Minnesota.

    "I did his shoulder (arthroscopic) a few weeks ago. I visited him in Hattiesburg two weeks ago. He wants to play and he wants to play for the Minnesota Vikings. He wants to end his career on a high note and I hope he can."

    For those keeping score at home, Favre formally retired after the 2008 season only to sign with the Jets in the fall. After last season ended, Favre told team management he was retiring again.
