During an interview that will air Sunday morning on the NFL Network, Brett Favre told Steve Mariucci that he does not plan on playing in 2011.

Mariucci asked Favre directly if he would be back to play in his 21st NFL season. The future Hall of Famer shook his head and said, “No.”

A Twitter conspiracy theory suggested that whatever Jenn Sterger told the NFL on Thursday, will lead to Favre’s “retirement” from the sport.

We know the name of this tune though.

I’m not so sure he’ll go away that easily.
