Brett Favre said he was startled Friday morning to see a report on a sports show suggesting that he might come out of retirement, and had no intention of doing so, he told SportsIllustrated.com.

“That’s the last thing I’m thinking about,” Favre told SI.com. “I have no idea where that came from, but it certainly didn’t come from me. I’m happy about my decision and I haven’t once said, ‘I wonder if I made the wrong decision.’ I know it’s the right one.”

Friday morning, Favre was on his way to see a doctor because he believes he might have a hernia that needs repair, SI.com reports.

“It’s crazy to me that I’m the guy they’re all talking about, and the story is out there everywhere, and I have nothing to do with it,” Favre said. “It’s not something I’m thinking about. It’s kind of funny. Even when I’m retired, they won’t let me stay retired.”

The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday that Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, was making inquiries with teams about their interest in trading for Favre.

The Times report was followed Thursday by vehement denials by Cook and Packers GM Ted Thompson.

However, Sam Farmer, author of the Times story, stood by his story in media interviews. And in a report in the Wisconsin State Journal of Madison, Wis., an NFL official is quoted as saying there is “at least something to” the Times report.

Favre, 38, announced his retirement in March 4, followed by a March 6 news conference. However, he has yet to submit retirement papers to the NFL or the players’ union. It’s not mandatory that he do so and not uncommon for players to delay filing their retirement papers.

The Packers hold Favre’s rights and could trade him.

Thompson told the Associated Press: “We don’t know anything about it, and it’s inconceivable.”

Favre played 17 seasons. He was a three-time NFL most valuable player and won a Super Bowl title with the Packers in 1996.

He was outstanding in 2007 while leading the Packers to the NFC Championship Game. He threw for 4,155 yards with 28 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. The Packers lost the NFC title game to the New York Giants 23-20 in overtime.

In the Journal story on Thursday, reporter Jason Wilde writes: “The idea that Cook was asking such questions would mean that if Favre were having second thoughts about hanging up his cleats, he would have to continue his career with another team, since the Packers have been clear in their support of new starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

“The source said it’s also possible that Cook was acting without Favre’s knowledge.”

In addition to Thompson’s denial, Packers coach Mike McCarthy cast doubts on Favre returning. He told Wilde: “When I talked to him, he’d just gotten off a bulldozer moving trees. He definitely doesn’t miss the offseason program. I think he’ll feel it about September when opening day starts. That’s when you have to worry about it. For 17 years in a row, his fall has always been around football.”

Cook attempted to douse reports of his inquiries with these comments to ESPN: “That is absolutely false. Absolutely false, and you can quote me on that.”
