Time Is Money...Especially When the Market is Hot

In head-spinning breaking news today the Green Bay Packers have reportedly offered Brett Favre $20 million over the next 10 years if (and only if) he retires and stays retired. But Favre makes $13 million per year playing football, where he is a legend and accepted by all, excpet for those whom own/manage the Packers.
The day Brett Favre sells out on the fans, on the sport that made him so rich and beloved, on these records that are continuing to mount-up as he plays every game; it will be a sad day for the game.
It would be known as "The Day Green Bay Killed Foot Ball," and Legend Brett Favre let them do it too.
If Favre wanted to retire, then why did he ask the collectors to not place the word "retired" in association with his name?
Having lived in Mississippi for 3 years I can not for the life of me see Favre turn his back on the game, especially after all this "hub-bub." Nor will he turn his back on the people of Mississippi, who are always there for their boy and look to him as a living legend. Down there he is known as "the good ole boy who conquered the north and its elitism." He is a hero down there, and being bought-off by big northern-cash would not tide well at all.
