Comment on No Surprise: Favre Unsure About Playing in 2010

You are correct. I am NOT a Favre fan. To be honest, I was never a fan of any athlete that held enough sway to keep the hopes and progress of an entire franchise in limbo. Michael Jordan was the same way when he walked away from the Bulls to try baseball and then came back.

Any fan of the National Football League knows and appreciates what Favre has contributed over his long, storied, illustrious career. I will not sell the man short for that. We all remember what he did on Monday night against the Raiders when his father died. We also remember his addiction to Vicodin. Similarly, people that are solely die hard Cheeseheads will never forget Favre for forcing the hand of the Green Bay front office to go to New York, and even less so when he signed with the Vikings.

He is an icon of the sport, but it's better to go out and stay out, then to be a hanger on.

Having been a Packer fan for 48 years, then a Jets fan and now a Vikings fan, I guess you could say I'm a pretty huge Favre fan. Chris, the author of the above article, is obviously NOT a Favre fan. He doesn't hate #4, he just doesn't understand how we dutifully sit and wait and wonder if Brett is coming back. It's a ritual, a healing that he must go through after another punishing year on the gridiron, which only makes us Favre fans appreciate him all the more. We will celebrate if he decides to return and be heartbroken if he retires, but it's his life and his body. There's been a lot more good than bad with #4 over the years so, no matter what he decides or how long it takes, it will have been a great ride. Heck, I've added about 90 pounds and 3 grandchildren since Brett started playing (for Green Bay), and he played his best football EVER last year. Hardly seems fair that he gets better with age and I just get larger! Anyway, he and his family should take all the time they need to decide. If he comes back in 2010, I'll be ecstatic; if he retires for good, I'll be grateful for the thrills he gave us. #4 will be #1 in our hearts forever!

If anyone can, Jay can. I vaguely remember but I didn't know how serious the talk was. Sports guys love to speculate.

Yes...I told you back in December that the Cubs shipped Bradley to Seattle. Maybe Jay Buhner can smack some sense into him.

That's pretty much the mentality that I had about the whole thing and the point I was trying to make to people here. The justice system has become more Justice for those who have money instead of Justice for All.

Glad to know this country has the mindset that we should value dogs more than our own human selves.

Sickening stuff.

Well, you got me. For the record, I still (sadly) maintain that Minny was the better team - they just couldn't onto the damn ball. Oh, and I'm NOT a Favre fan - oh well, congrats Saints: you've earned your right to lose to Indy in the SuperBowl! CHEERS>
