ESPN pokes fun at the on-again, off-again retirement plans of Brett Favre, who is attempting a comeback with the Minnesota Vikings. This Wieden + Kennedy spot features SportsCenter anchor Steve Levy admitting he has a hard time keeping track himself and shares the network’s system for staying on top of the Favre news.
