You Know You're About To Make a Bad Decision When...
Love him or hate him (which almost nobody does…yet…) Brett Favre has been a standby in football for the last 14 seasons. Ever since I was old enough to comprehend football, Brett Favre has been the starting quarterback for the Packers. Its the way things were. It was great.
Then he retired. It was sad. A few grown men told me his press conference brought a tear to their eyes and they weren’t even Packers fans.
Everyone loved Brett Favre.
But now he wants to come back? He wants to be unconditionally released from the Packers and seek employment elsewhere?
ASININE I SAY!
Listen Brett, do yourself a favor and shut up, get a nice studio or assistant coaching job, hell become a high school coach, hell, start an intramural football league in Mississippi. You have the money. You can QB a team and it can be a league full of guys who played in high school or college or who just want to play some football with Brett Favre. Shit man. Do ANYTHING ELSE but return to a team that ISN’T the Packers.
Don’t you remember the Joe Montana in Kansas City years? No? Me Neither. Exactly.
The teams that are most in need of a QB at this point are probably the Bears, Vikings and Panthers. Can you even imagine Brett Favre NOT wearing the Green and Yellow? No? Me neither. I don’t care if he started his career on the Falcons (they maybe could use him…?) that doesn’t mean anything.
Plus, think of the value of the Brett Favre rookie card I have that you’re trying to destroy. Jerk.
That’s how we want to remember Brett Favre. All full of piss and vinegar and braces.
Not as a member of the lackluster Bears or Falcons with no receivers, throwing 20 INTs and being shitty.
Remember the end of Dan Marino’s career? He hung around a year too long and ended up looking pathetic. I would not want the same fate for Brett Favre. I mean, I’m against him even coming back to the Packers for fuck’s sake. If he did that though, at least he would be on the right team.
Anyway, last year was the best season Brett Favre and the Packers had in a while. it was their best chance of winning it all. And they couldn’t get it done. They probably aren’t going to get any better this season. Not with an aging QB anyway.
Listen Brett, go do some bass fishing, start an intramural football league, have some kids, go bowling, drink some Keystone Light, go see some movies, hang out with your family, do ANYTHING other than come back to another team. You will only regret it.

I agree with everything you said here. I can’t even imagine the aftermath. I already have that embarassed feeling for him. Yikes. I would much rather see Brett cameo in more Farelly Brother’s movies than a) come back to football and b) come back to football not play for the Packers. Athletes hate retiring.

Brett, I am so proud of you. I am in my 30’s. I wish that I was still in a sport. There are so many opinons of you getting back into the NFL after the first choice of retirement but I really hope that you did it for yourself and not the money and the fame. I am proud of what you have accomplished this year. If you are done or not, you made a point. I hope that you did it for the right reasons. I rooted for the Jets because of you. But, I like the Bears but LOVED to see you play. Love ya PJS
