Every NFL fan, except maybe Minnesota Vikings fans, has rooted for Brett Favre. Until maybe now. Except for my unconditional support for the Redskins, despite coaching debacles, or should I say coach recruiting debacles, Favre is one of the players I root for. He's been on fantasy teams of mine. When the Skins play at 1 and Green Bay plays at 4, I'm probably watching Green Bay on DirecTV.
This ongoing saga of his "unretirement" is bugging me to say the least. Now there is word he is asking to be released by the Packers.
I don't blame the man for wanting to come back. The Packers are in a tough position. They handed the keys to Aaron Rodgers months ago and now Favre wants them back. Like a teenager told he can drive the Corvette, but now has to sit in the back seat.
I'll never understand how strong the urge for Favre to return is, but I think he should really hang his helmet. Let Rodgers prove his draft position.
