The 39 year old Brett Favre, for the second consecutive season, says he's retiring from the NFL and the game he loves. I think it was not really news this time when he broke the news today. My eyes rolled and I'm looking to next place he tries to sucker into taking him. I must admit this last season I felt bad for Packer fans who worship #4 since his departure from Green Bay. He kept Packer management sleep with one eye open for the last few years only for him to come out of retirement and make such as scene at training camp. I respect the all of his accomplishments as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time as well as all the things he's had to go through with his family, but that doesn't mean you drag a team you've played for 16 seasons with a town full of your acolytes through the mud.Remember all the fanfare that occurred after this press conference?
After that rolled all his stats and retrospective of his illustrious career...then comes training camp. You know the rest of the story, he goes to the Jets and fall short of the playoffs which lead to the firing of Jets personnel. Had he played for a more forgiving team, he may still be lingering around. Retire his number already!
John Madden and Frank Caliendo will sure miss Brett:

Stick a fork in him…I honestly think he's done for good this time. We'll see, though.
