The Favre Situation
This will be my one and only post about Brett Favre, I have been intensely sick of the media constantly putting him on a pedestal for the last three years. Now, finally he retired, meaning Aaron Rogers, whose been waiting patiently for the last three years for Favre to retire, gets the chance to start. Instead, Favre teases and prods the media about coming back, and the media drowns him in glory. If Favre comes back, its not just annoying, it is a selfish act on his part. He is one of the few NFL players that has a long career, perhaps too long, seventeen years of injury free football in the NFL is no easy task. Its time for him to step aside and give someone else a chance, just like the Packers did for him. He's making this situation even more difficult for Rogers, who could put up better numbers and win more games than Favre and still never leave his shadow. Quit being so selfish Favre and join every other former athlete in pickup games at the local park.

With all due respect - you are nuts.
He is one of the few NFL players that has a long career, perhaps too long>>>> need I remind you that in his 17th year he MADE THE PRO-BOWL. He is still near the top of his game which is at a level that Aaron Rodgers will most likely NEVER ACHIEVE. This team as constructed has a legitimate chance at winning it all and that chance is enhanced with Brett Favre at QB not hurt. Steve Young succeeded a hall of fame QB in Joe Montana and went to the Hall of Fame - do I think Rodgers could be a HOF QB - no. And even Steve Young for as good as he became was not as good as Montana until right at the very end and Brett's ability is at least 4-5 years from being where Montana was in Kansas City. Ask the players of the team who they would rather take the field with and if you could get an honest answer out of them it would be Brett.
