Favre — Is he really retired?

Add comment March 4th, 2008

Official reports say Brett Favre has retired. Maybe he has; maybe he hasn’t.

His agent says “I don’t know” as to whether Favre will change his mind. Favre apparently has been leaning toward coming back, but now feels the Packers don’t want him back.

If that’s true, then there are a lot more questions to be asked.

Sounds like Favre was unhappy Green Bay didn’t pursue Randy Moss, again. Favre announcing his retirement just after Moss re-signed with New England might reveal his current mindset.

Favre might just be stubborn enough to stay retired, even if he knows he could play at least one more season. If he was going to retire all along, he should have, and probably would have, informed the Packers sooner so they could pursue some of the top free agents.

They’re all gone now. So, too, is Favre.

Maybe.

I’ll be praying

It’s true. I’ll say a little prayer for the green and gold Sunday morning. And I’m sure I won’t be the only one. Here’s a prayer (words always adjusted for the next big game) that gets circulated in e-mails a lot. (This won’t be the one I say. I like to come up with my own.)

Our Favre,
Who art in Lambeau,
Hallowed be thine arm.
The bowl will come,
It will be won.
In Arizona as it is in Lambeau.
And give us this Sunday,
Our weekly win.
And give us many touchdown passes.
But do not let others pass against us.
Lead us not into frustration,
But deliver us to Arizona.
For thine is the MVP, the best of the NFC,
and the glory of the Cheeseheads,
now and forever.

Go get ‘em
