Well, now that the Vikings have been eliminated from the playoffs, we can all start the speculation that has been driving so many people absolutely insane. Will Brett Favre finally retire?! Or will we he put another team through the whole, well golly I sure would still like to play one more year! If you could just give me a shot!
Well, here's my opinion on the whole matter. Retire, Brett. Please, retire. This constant waffling between retirement and playing again has definitely tarnished your legacy. Sure, that Sears commercial was really funny, but do you realize that that is exactly how people view you now? They don't view you as the guy who can make any throw, they don't view you as the gun slinger, they don't see the 3 MVPs or the super bowl ring. They see the old guy that doesn't want to admit that his time has come. The whole concept is a joke to people now. I wouldn't be surprised if there were odds being put on this in Vegas.
Brett has already said that he likely won't play again (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Favre-I-m-highly-unlikely-to-play-again-Sure;_ylt=AjoSLuV3ibmMErKdDYzd3ntDubYF?urn=nfl,215612) according to yahoo sports, but come on, haven't we heard all of this before? You know the best way for Favre to prove that he isn't going to play again, to just disappear and not let the whole media circus happen as it always does. That might show people that he actually is done with football. The other thing that we might all do to help the matter along is, and I realize the irony of the statement as I say it, to just shut up about it. The longer that we continue to make a huge fuss over whether or not he should stay or go, the more he is back in the public eye. And he absolutely loves the public eye. So let's just all stop talking about it!
Once again, it is a damn shame that the career of one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the game of football is no longer really remembered for his career and all the greatness that he brought to the game. Instead, he is to be remembered as the great waffler. Hopefully, we can all just put it to rest. Now, as of this moment, I am going to stop talking about Brett Favre. I would greatly appreciate it if everybody would join me. Congrats on one last push Brett.
completely agreed! it's too bad that in 2 of the past 3 years, that one of the greatest QBs has lost the game for his team by having to be the hero, too. Once Favre, the guy that can make any throw, CAN'T make any throw, he needs to call it like the rest of the world sees it and retire.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed this post. My whole thing with Favre is that while he’s completely frustrating, he’s allowed to be indecisive because he’s a lot better than the majority of quarterbacks in the league. Half the teams would take him even though he’s likely to cause headaches and sit out most of training camp
