I think he's really done this time. I got plenty sick of the drama last pre-season. And I am not a Packers or Jets fan. I have a feeling his shoulder is much worse than they have let on and much like Elway and his knees, its not the loss of desire thats pushing him out but his body.
I'll always have respect for Brett, even though he pushed it last season, the man loved the game and loved to play.
My question is this, if he does stay retired, will the Packer fans accept him back and be happy if he goes to the hall in a Packer jersey?
Yeah. It just could have been better.
I get it, the guy loves the game, and wants to play. But I supported the Packers saying 'no mas' when he tried to unretire - I mean, come on. We have to start moving forward; going year-to-year without any certainty of your QB's plans are no way to build a team.
LOL, the Brett Favre saga continues. Like Richard, I'm pretty skeptical that his retirement will "stick" this time. Come Springtime, he'll start to wonder if one more year is possible, he'll start to feel better and the waffling will begin anew.
I do hope he can learn from the past and just walk away. He needs to realize that he has the rest of his life in front of him and he needs to be healthy enough to enjoy it.
He's a tough competitor, and it's difficult to face the time when you can't compete anymore. I wish him the best of luck, he is a class act, even if he is a bit of a prima donna.
I predict he will be behind a microphone this year. ESPN really loves hiring retired superstars like Favre.
(So I can't give a date in the pool because I really believe he is done this time. No, really.) ;)
