Packers Fans Harass Packers Brass On Behalf Of Favre

You know where I stand on this.

Brett Favre should stay retired.

He left football for all the right reasons.

If he comes back it will be for a lot of the wrong ones.

Packers fans held a rally where they tailgated and chanted and protested for Favre to be the starting QB. People held signs that read “Favre ‘08″.

I really think that a lot of Packers fans like Brett more than they even like the team. I wonder what might happen if they fall into complete obscurity over the next 10 seasons.

If only people were this passionate about ending foreign entanglements…

Anyway, clearly Brett Favre is better than Aaron Rogers. Clearly. But if he does return as the starting quarterback, I wouldn’t fault Rogers at all for slashing Brett’s tires, taking a shit inside Brett’s helmet, putting Icy Hot in Brett’s jockstrap or demanding a trade immediately and forgoing all sophomoric pranks.

Rogers would probably be a step up in Carolina. He would DEFINITELY be a step up in Minnesota and Chicago.

We won't be seeing much of this next season...

Just stay out of football Brett. Do the right thing. Go bass fishing, buy a grocery store, build a homeless shelter, start a robotics company, build cyborgs that can fight each other. Do anything else.

Just stay retired. 

Also, I have felt for a long time that there is a certain level of player who is good enough to keep his team decent but not good enough to win it all for them. Like Tony Gwynnor Barry Sanders. Guys who carry teams to the playoffs or keep them relevant, but aren’t enough to win it all. As a result their teams always end up with like the 14th-26thdraft pick each year. Which hardly ever works out to be a great addition. It keeps the team stuck in a cog. Look at the Lions. I would venture to say that had something to do with their troubles in the 90’s into the early 2000’s. The lack of QB, constant drafting of overrated WR’s and defensive issues have been the recent problem.
