Is it just a coincidence that Brett Favre already filed retirement papers?

For his previous 5+ seasons or so, he debates retirement the entire offseason, leaving whatever team he is playing for wondering how they stand at the QB position. Now, all of a sudden this season, he decides to file for retirement prior to the Superbowl. I think he did this because his former team is in the spotlight and on their way to a championship, and he wants to be in the limelight one last time before he finally goes, and what better way to do it than doing it in a fashion that also steals it from his former team. What a conceited piece of trash. Who agrees with me?
