Favre retiring (for today)

So we can set his return date for either Oct. 11 (at the Jets on Monday Night Football) or Oct. 24 (at Lambeau), right?

 

I was counting on one more playoff run so we could watch throw yet another franchise-crushing interception.

 

And ESPN has fallen for it again .... hook, line and sinker.

 

Nah... Sept. 26 against Detroit. Gotta have a preseason game to get ready for real teams, and there's a bye week between the Lions and the MNF game with the Jest.

 

Maybe the Vikings will lure Kurt Warner out of retirement.

 

Look, you can make the argument that this is a very big deal, but I watched a fucking hour of SportsCenter this morning and not once did they talk about ANYTHING else. That box on the left screen just sat there with the Albert Haynesworth update box and Ryan Howard injury box changing only from three stories away to four stories away.

 

It's pretty big deal aside from it being Favre. It changes a lot of the landscape in the NFC.

 

I have too many Favre pictures ready to go for this to happen.

 

Who knows what the drama queen will end up doing? I just thought this tweet from ESPN's Jeff MacGregor was pretty funny: "Pacing back and forth as he decides retirement, Brett Favre accidentally completes Redskins conditioning test." ;D

 

Favre: "Ow, my ankle."

Wulf: "Here's $15 million dollars."

Favre: "Oh, look at that. It feels better!"
