I admit, Favre was my Hero at first. I loved him in the 90's but he hasn't played to form in sometime. The interceptions are out of control and his lust for the game seems to have gone to the wayside.
This year he returns with questions about his arm. It's untried after surgery. He hasn't really played with the team he's signed with and pre-season has already begun. His ego is bigger than the state of Minnesota and yet he's back. How does he think he'll do with a team that has already bonded? He's discarding two potential starting QB's and he'll be 40 in two months, old for football standards. This does not bode well for him.
Let's not also forget that he is indirectly attacking the team that gave him the chance to be great to start with. Greenbay signed him when he was still very green himself. We loved him and watched him grow. We cheered for him and with him in 97 and told him it'd be alright in 98, there was always next year. When his father died, we all cried for him and were proud he still played that day. When retirement first came up we all prayed for one more season, and repeated that prayer season after season. Then when he finally said good-bye we mourned the loss of our great Brett. That post season we held our breathe as rumors whirled he'd be back, in April and again in May. When we went with Aaron, some where angry, but Favre waited to long, he'd strung us along for to long. He had chances to comeback and he drug it out. What were we to do? Loss Aaron? then what would happen the following season? Apparently the same thing. I'm tired of it, Brett Favre. Retire already!! And this time STAY RETIRED!!! Give us time to forgive you for dragging us through the last few years & how dare you go to Minnesota!?! Really? We'll be waiting come Nov 1st, and you'll see how it feels to be on the other teams walking into Lambeau.
Tell me, is anyone else as irritated about this as I am?
