The Brett Favre Story


Brett Favre has that itch. The one that everyone knew he would have. He is considering a comeback. But there are some sticky points. We can all agree that Favre is a hall of famer and one of the best quarterbacks in the history of football. I can't remember the last off-season were there weren't rumors of him retiring. When he announced his retirement at the end of the year, I was skeptical. I knew he wouldn't be able to leave the game. He loves it too much. But by retiring, he has put himself and the Packers in no win situations. He is asking for a release, which the Packers shouldn't grant. Favre is supposed to be retired. He is also under contract. Just because he wants a release doesn't mean that it is the right thing for the team. If the Packers were to get rid of him via a trade, at least they get something in return. But, by trading him, the Packers would be trading away the person responsible for the revival of the Packer franchise and the most beloved person in Wisconsin. Fans would riot because he means so much to them. Both sides are in a bad situation. I think if the Pack don't want him, they should try their best to trade him. He should have good value especially for a team that doesn't have an established quarterback. He showed last year that he still has the fastball. There is a way that this situation could have been remedied. That would be for Brett to have never retired in the first place. He knew he still loved the game and that he could physically succeed. Him wanting to come back means one thing for sure; he hates Aaron Rodgers.
