I used to live in Wisconsin, in the far far north, and I’ve met Mr. Favre (whether that means my take has any more authority. . . but I was his bartender for a time). He’s a simple guy, with simple pleasures. I think he feels his age more every year, but when the reality of retirement begins to wash over him, he can’t stand it and jumps back into the ring. Or, onto the field. He’s not trying to build publicity, or grab more money–he just doesn’t know how to do anything else. When he finally does retire, I fear a bit for his mental health.

Favre definitely deserves to be in the hall of fame. He just needs to hurry the hell up and retire so he’ll become eligible.

Sorry to hijack the comments, but Jammer you should see and possibly review Project 9. That movie rocked my world.

I’m not a big football fan, but it’s both fun and annoying to see the huge and neverending hoopla this has created in Minnesota (where I’m from.) Oh well, at least it distracts the media here from more Michael Jackson “coverage.”

Favre a BSG fan?
All this has happened before…

Better for the guy to end while he’s still ahead of the game than risk pulling a Jason Street down the road (FNL reference). Early retirement is a given when it comes to most kinds of sports. Football’s no exception.

Guy has turned into a joke and doesn’t even realize it. Sad.

But 10 years after this is all over, people will forget all about the retirement circus, and remember his glory years and he’ll be in the hall.

I’m thinking this whole saga tarnishes his entire career and I wouldn’t want to see him in the Hall of Fame. Before this, yes definitly, but now, no. I just wish he went away, so when I want to see Football news and go to NFL Network (Which does a much better job covering all teams instead of ESPN) for news, he won’t be part of it.
