Like I said when he retired (much to getting tarred and feather by the board
)
Favre is a drama queen...
"When Brett Favre tearfully announced his retirement in March, speculation began that it wasn't really the end. The doubters might be right, as the future Hall of Famer seems to be itching to continue his great career."
EVERY...SINGLE...PLAYER...(almost, the early rounders anyway) have the financial capacity to retire comfortably almost immediately after recieving his first signing bonus as a rookie.
Every year after that, each and every player...goes thru the mental exercise of whether or not they want to retire or return. Every year they make the decision quietly and without fanfare, most return...some retire. All but one...
Where every year we must announce publicly that we (Favre) is considering not returning...(EVERYBODY LOOK AT MEEEEee, I want addulation, I want people to beg me to stay, I want to be on sportcenter in the offseason)...."oh no wait, I guess I'll play".
We've done that opera for what 5+ years in a row? It gets real old. Two years ago, I remember we (Favre) called a press conference to announce...there is no news, he hasn't decided yet...
So, last year...we ramp the soap opera up a notch and...announce we'll retire.
We get espn to run tribute specials, we get the cover of Madden, we get tribute books and biographies published...
And now we may just come back...oh like I didn't see that one comming
I respect the talent, I love the arm...but stfu and play or don't play, make up your mind and do it quietly.
I haven't seen a drama queen this big since I went to the prom 20 years ago...
