Getting close to Favre

1 comment March 4th, 2008

I was in Canton, Ohio, in November to speak to sister sites about Web-first publishing. I had the opportunity to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I had the picture below taken. (That’s the ball Favre threw to break Dan Marino’s touchdown.) It’s the closest to Favre I’ll likely ever get. And I may just have to book plane tickets five years out because I am sure Favre will be inducted when he’s first eligible.

Will he or won’t he?

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.)
