Brett Favre - Enough is Enough

I am sick and tired of this whole Brett Favre fiasco. For the last several years, at the end of the Super Bowl, it was time for will he or won't he retire. Like all great competitors, he always had that itch to play. After a few mediocre seasons, it looked like BF was going to finally hang up his cleats at the end of this past season, but something odd happened, Green Bay became good again.

Personally, I felt they became good despite have BF, a gunslinger behind the center, as their QB, but who am I to judge? GB was winning close games and BF was making less mistakes. The final month of the season, it was obvious, BF reverted back to what he became the past few seasons and watching the NFC Championship game, I knew he would not lead the Packers to the Super Bowl. Instead, BF's last pass was picked off and run the other way for the game winning touchdown.

BF announces his retirement a few months later in a tearful press conference, but still the talking heads felt he would be back. BF thought about coming back and GB officials were heading down to his home in Mississippi to make the formal announcement, but BF got cold feet and didn't want to come back.

So now, 2 weeks before training camp, after GB set their team up ABF, good ole BF wants to come back and wants to be a free agent. Claiming GB has only spoke half truths about the time line of his coming back.

Well, let me see if I can put this in prospective. BF retired, claims he was "forced" to retire by him employer for 16 years. However, this same employer stood by him and his decision making lack of ability for the last 3 years, putting the franchise's best interest on hold.

BF wants to be free to go "anywhere" he wants. Why would GB let him go to a divisional rival and take the chance he would lead the new team over GB.

I feel bad for GB GM, Ted Thompson, anything he does will bite him in the ass. Although, I would love to see BF standing on the sidelines with a head set, tutoring new QB Aaron Rodgers, that won't happen. Why should BF give back to the team that has stood by him and treated him like a better person than he is.

Thompson should let BF go and stand by Aaron Rodgers. If BF goes to a rival, so be it. If Rodgers leads the Packers to a divisional title and BF doesn't make the playoffs, it will expose BF for the farce he has become. Whatever the outcome is, Ted Thompson should have his resume ready to go.
