Don Pardo is retiring.

Don Pardo is NOT retiring.

Note that the second story is about two weeks old, and he may have changed his mind again, but it does include a quote from a family member.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

He can't be Favre until he holds a teary-eyed press conference.

Sure, but Don's been throwing a lot of interceptions on SNL lately...
