See Ya Favre

What will I do now that the overgrown manchild is out of the NFL? Laugh. There's all sorts of shock and surprise about him retiring while fronting an up and coming team, but it makes a lot of sense to me. For the past few years, until last season, Favre's been stinking it up. In spite of him, the Packers have improved their team dramatically and the team, as a whole, did really well in '07. Now with an improved team, the Packers should do pretty well next year, with or without Favre. Except that Favre's been so bad two out of the last three years that he knows, if he's playing, the team is as likely to be 4-12 as 12-4, and his pride is too much to play through a thirty interception season. So, as has become typical of his career, he takes the coward's way out and quits. This reminds me a lot of Plummer's cowardly exit from the league, coincidentally, though I can't be happier than the day Denver traded Plummer so, Favre, you lose again.

A lot of people have been talking about their favorite Brett Favre moment. Mine was seeing the tears stream down his eyes while he watched John Elway lift the Lombardi Trophy high over his victorious head. Sniff...poor Bretty. Is there anything I can do? Do you need another Vicadin? Poor baby....
