SOMETHING ABOUT BRETT
Brett Favre will be 39 in October, and much like a dog, that’s 112 in football years. 3 MVP’s and a Super Bowl surely gets #4 into the Hall of Fame, but it doesn’t mean success will be awaiting at the swamp pit in northern New Jersey. While I am a Giants fan, living in this area all my life I know one thing for certain – New York sports fans can be brutal as they want a winner immediately. If by chance Brettums throws a few lousy picks and starts to show his age, the green and white faithful will be booing his ass so bad that he’ll think he was in Dallas. Only a year from his 40th birthday, wouldn’t a comfy leather couch in Mississippi on Sunday afternoons make so much more sense for this man?

Imagine turning down $20 Millon to stay retired. This time of the year we North Jersey residents must listen to the Jet fans predict a Super Bowl appearance. This move will only make it worse for us. Now they think they’ll win it! Better break-out the Geritol!

Here in Wisconsin, Favre was seen as an “Everyman”, which fits perfectly into the mythos that is the Green Bay Packers. He cried as he announced his retirement… “AW! HE LOVES US! WE LOVE YOU TOO, BRETT!” Our hearts swelled with pride as this simple man who was a QB GOD punctuated his loyal career with such an unabashed display of emotion…
And then he stabbed us in the back. He could be bought.
It wasn’t about coming back because he missed football because he refused to play for Green Bay. He came back because he wanted to play for “a winning team”. It doesn’t matter to us WHO picked him up; Wisconsin doesn’t put the blame on the team who got him, we blame no one but Brett.
The Pack didn’t even get to the playoffs this year, but that’s OK because we did really well with a young team… a young, honest, and LOYAL team. That means as much to us as winning the Big One.
