The Saga That is Brett Favre


oh, my. this is becoming ridiculous.

as many of you know, i'm a HUGE green bay packers fan. brett favre retired after last season. i cried with him during his announcement and prepared my heart for an interesting 2008-2009 season.



and now, brett wants to play again. ugh. he tried coming back to the packers, but paying him $12 million for one year isn't in the books. the packers are offering to keep him on as a back-up, but that may not be financially possible. so, they are talking to tampa bay & the jets about making a trade.

TRADING BRETT FAVRE!!!!!! BAH!

thinking about the whole situation gives me an ugly feeling inside. i wish brett would have just gone fishing like he said he was going to. if i have to see him play in another team's jersey, well, i wouldn't be like the lady in this interview, saying that she would be a "packer fan" and cheer for brett anyway. i'll be honest, i feel betrayed by my friend, brett. he just doesn't seem like a sell-out or a guy who wants to do this for the money.

despite all of this crap, i am still a HUGE packers fan . . . so much so that my sister gave me my (november) birthday present early; two tickets (row 28) to a packers vs. colts game at lambeau field in october. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

poor Green Bay fans... it really is an ugly situation. Like when Michael Jordan retired and then came back, only probably worse since at least the Bulls could keep him... Something about the QB in football-- like can you imagine John Elway playing for the Bills or something?

I'm sorry :(

Oh, and have fun watching the Colts kick GB tail!
