Brett Favre…stay retired!!!
I love Brett Favre. He’s an amazing football player. As a serious Bear fan I grew to respect this guy more and more over the years and he’s very hard to dislike. I find myself cheering for Favre like I cheer for pitchers on my fantasy team that are pitching against the Cubs in a series. I mean that I want him to do well but for his team to lose. Favre is a legend and it needs to stay that way. Brett needs to officially retire and hang them up.
Espn devoted a section today of 32 situations for Brett Favre to step into if he left or stayed in Green Bay. Someone ‘wasted’ hours putting that together and looking at roster situations for a guy that said he isn’t playing anymore. If Favre plays it will be for the Packers or nobody else. Remember how funny Emmitt Smith looked as a Cardinal? Favre would look worse as a Chicago Bear. Some things aren’t meant to be and this is one of them.
The Packers need to move on and all this speculation only hurts the team. Aaron Rodgers is really trying to take over and lead this team and the team needs it to happen. In all honesty, it had to be a bit of relief to not have the constant ‘is Brett staying or going’ talk all the time. Then this happens and it is a bunch of all new distractions.
Favre has come out and said that ‘these are only rumors’ but he could squash them at any time by simply saying that he is retired and turn in his paperwork to the league office. He hasn’t done that yet because he is having understandable second thoughts. Like I said, i love Brett Favre but he needs to move on for his team, his family and himself.
