Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre at a news conference after his team’s 23-20 overtime loss to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship football game Sunday, Jan. 20, 2008, in Green Bay, Wis.
Somehow I managed to get out of bed this morning and show my face in the office. Thomas isn’t here yet, but I expect to hear from him once he gets here. He’ll get his cheese, I promise.
This morning, the talk on talk radio is whether Brett Favre will retire. I’ve said it every year since the first talk of retirement surfaced, and I’ll say it again. It’s not time for Brett to hang it up. And I don’t think he will. (By the looks of the picture above, he shed some tears after last night’s loss. I can say I didn’t cry. Just felt sick.)

A true hall of famer like Brett will be missed in the game if he decides to retire. I think that he will be back.
He wont go out on such a sour note.

Boot Strap Bob,
I hope you are right.

Give me a break!!! You Packer fans keep thinking of lame “sour notes” reasons for Brett not to retire. Look at the season he had. Isn’t that enough? What else does he need to prove to all of you? Unless he wins a super bowl (highly unlikely) then you guys will never be happy and you will all keep guilting him into coming back one more year. Even Favre himself said he would not let one bad game define his career. So why are all of you?
I’ve said it once and I will say it a hundred more times, LET HIM RETIRE, PACKER FANS, AND MOVE ON WITH HIS LIFE, YOU ALL NEED TO SUCK IT UP AND FACE LIFE WITHOUT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
