Thank You Favre

Thank you, Favre, for showing that you are still the same quarterback we have come to know and love. I admit, after last season, I was worried. Last season, you played very unlike yourself. You appeared to actually be thinking and making decisions on the field instead of just throwing caution to the wind, except for the NFC Championship game. However, this past month has shown that you are still the same reckless decision maker that you have always been.

I admit, I was fooled by your tear-filled retirement. I thought you were actually going to retire. I should have known better, my roommate did. I should have known that after years of being wishy-washy on the topic, you could not have possibly come to a finite decision now. You are not the type that will bow out gracefully.

So, now you have been reinstated, and are reporting to training camp to "compete" for the starting job. Does anyone actually think there will be a competition for the starting job? It cannot happen. Even if Aaron Rodgers wins the starting job, there is no way he can suceed. He was already getting booed at home during a preseason game. In order to get and keep fan support, he would have to set every single season record, and go undefeated. Anything less, and he will forever be labeled as "not Brett Favre." Thanks Brett.

Here are Rick Reilly's thoughts on the matter.
