Let’s just hope all of this Brett Favre retirement/non-retirement talk ends soon.
Two years ago, he was a certain Pro Football Hall of Famer with a spotless reputation.
He’s still going to be in the Hall of Fame … but his reputation has gone from spotless to drama queen.
Who could blame the Green Bay Packers for moving on to Aaron Rodgers after Favre announced his “retirement” in the 2007-08 offseason?
Who could blame the New York Jets for being done with Favre after one year; especially after the reported dissension caused in the locker room via Favre living by a different set of rules than others?
As the “will he or won’t he” talk of Favre becoming a Minnesota Viking goes through its peaks and valleys, consider one letter to cbssports.com:
Favre has backed himself in a corner over and over when it comes to his "retirement." If he wouldn't have kept retiring in the first place he may have still been a Packer. The Green Bay organization and GM Ted Thompson were tired of all the drama and wanted to move on. Brett couldn't handle it and now he wants revenge on Ted Thompson, but he's got to consider that in the process of getting revenge on Thompson he would also be spitting in the face of all the Green Bay fans who supported him all those years through all the good and bad times. The last thing any Packer fan wants to see is #4 in purple and gold. Is getting revenge on Thompson for getting rid of him really worth turning your back on the fans and the city that embraced you for all those years? Is it worth risking his god-like status in Green Bay?
Well said. Well said!

It is time for Favre to hang it up and hang on to the last bit of his golden reputation before he totally ruins it with all of this I retire, I don't retire rhetoric. It is getting old real fast and is beginning to smell like last week's braut left in the sun. Or as my dear old grand daddy use to say "son either wee wee or get off the pot." Enough is enough.
