OK, enough with this guy. Anyone who knows me knows I have an embedded distain for this grey-bearded, INT-bomber. In fact, the other two WKFTB members used to be adamant supporters of Uncle Brett, but I don’t even think they would come to his defense now.
The good-ole-boy gushing media are even starting to turn on Favre now. Let’s face it, everyone is getting sick of him. At least when Jordan came back, he just announced it and came back. Plus he pretty much owned the team during his second comeback with Washington (such a weird thing now that you think about it, isn’t it?).
But with Brett we get the same thing everyyyy year: a retirement statement, tears, a rogue report saying his working out, then a wishy-washy offseason of Brett Watch – Will He or Won’t He?
We’re all tired of it. He’s not even that good anymore, as evidenced by his horrible performance down the stretch last season. Well, except that game against the Pats. Thanks, bro!
We even get reports now on deadlines for the aging quarterback to return, followed by reports saying that, well, there is no deadline. Hell, there was even a “news” story on ESPN.com saying that members of Favre’s family bought a bunch of hotel rooms in Green Bay for a winter weekend. Who’s in town that weekend? The Vikings!
And we’re about a week away from a Peter King exclusive where Brett says he’s coming back to play for Minnesota to help stick it to the Packers. Only will Minny even want him by then? Brad Childress has already made it clear in his recent remarks to the media that he wants his QB, his team leader, whether it’s Sage, Tavaris or Brett, to be in attendance at mini-camps. Will they wait to see if Brett decides he wants to play again?
Or will Brett try to hold another team hostage for as long as possible, keeping his legendary cloud hanging above the heads of the other two Viking QBs, not to mention their offensive coordinators, the receivers, the O-Line and the fans?
How can an NFL team legitimately prepare for the season with the prospect of a dramatic change in personal at the most important position on the field? This is why the Packers cut bait, as cold as it may have seemed at the time. And this is why the fans – the Green Bay fans who named kids after him, still relish his jerseys and probably would chop of a hand to have a beer with him – are starting to turn on him. Well, that and the fact that he might go play for their fiercest rival. But will he come back?
Only time with tell. And if there’s one thing Brett Favre loves the most, it’s wasting your time.
