Favre watch continues.......

When is the insanity surrounding Brett Favre going to end? How many times is he going to retire, then un-retire, then retire again? I'll admit, I watched his retirement press conference a few months ago, and was sad to see him leave the game, when he clearly still is a force at the quarterback position. Brett is a quality quarterback and could very well lead the Packers deep into the playoffs next season, if not the Super Bowl.

I understand that this is off season for the NFL, free agency and the draft is long over and we are in the dead portion of the off season and the need to create a story is out there for media hacks.
Brett Favre is and was a great quarterback and a great personality, however, he was not and is not the only player in the NFL. Enough already. The mancrush on Favre by Florio over at profootballtalk.com is sickening. Florio's crush makes Madden look like a 6th grader eyeing her 8th grade beau at a middle school dance.

But, enough already with the stories. He played well last year, and I have no doubt that he will continue to play well in the 08 season if he decides to return. But enough already with the stories fueling speculation. Two years now, this has been ongoing.

I for one would like to know if he is going to return as the Packers play a game in Tampa this year and I've missed seeing him play in the past.
