GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Is Brett Favre retiring?

The Packers' official Web site briefly said he was. But the page under the breaking news section was live for only a few minutes Thursday.

Both the Packers and Favre's agent, Bus Cook, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Favre had not decided whether to return for his 18th season.

Waiting for Favre's decision has become an annual winter rite in Wisconsin.

Several Internet web sites have screen captures of the page that shows Favre's picture with a caption saying, "Packers quarterback Brett Favre has announced that he will retire."

The page also had a blank area to enter the story's text and details on general manager Ted Thompson holding a news conference to talk about the announcement.
