Enough Already: Brett Favre Saga Getting Old

There is no doubt that there are many of you just hoping and praying the legend, Brett Favre, comes out of retirement again and gets his revenge on the Packers by signing with the Vikings.

You are all waiting to bow to the king of the gridiron. 

Let me know how that works out for you.

I, myself am in the minority in this situation. I loathe the idea of Brett returning yet again to try and prove to everyone he is bigger than the game and that he can still play a little. I emphasize a little.

Brett Favre is making a mockery of the word "retirement." It was one thing when we all watched the teary-eyed Favre walk away two years ago to return before the start of the next football season. But this time, he did it over the phone and has made countless comments to anyone who would listen that there was no chance of another comeback.

You think we all would have learned by now.

Now, after recent comments made by Vikings head coach, Brad Childress, the two men are planning to meet and discuss the possibility of a second comeback for the former pro-bowl quarterback.

What makes Favre think he can play anywhere near the level he has in the past? Everyone is quick to forget his 1-4 record over the last five games last season, in which he threw two touchdowns to his nine interceptions, practically costing the Jets' playoff chances.

Secondly, coming back once can be accepted. But to do it twice is a whole different situation. Just ask Michael Jordan, who is arguably the best player to ever play the game of basketball.

Once again in the minority, Brett Favre is not in the top five players at his position, let alone the game, in my opinion.

There is no question why Brett is doing this.

Yes, he might love the game still; most professionals never lose that. But if anyone thinks the No. 1 reason for this comeback, if it happens, is to give one final shot to the Green Bay Packers organization for not allowing him to come back to their team last season.

It was bad enough last year when he put Aaron Rodgers in a no-win situation, as he tried to replace Favre's legendary status in Green Bay. Now he wants to do this all over again.

And of course, Favre will be in no rush to make a decision. He will probably drag this out through the summer months until he is good and ready—and Minnesota has named their starter for the year.

Then he will strike again, destroying any chance another young QB may have to build a career.

So the advice I have for Favre: Great career, Brett. You did many spectacular things. But now its time to stand aside, and allow the league to grow without you and create new legends. NFL stands for the National Football League, not the National "Favre" League.
