The entire state of Wisconsin was in a state of mourning. A lot of football fans around the United States shed a few tears. Their hero, the sometimes wild yet always heroic, Brett Favre was calling it quits. His NFL career over. At 38-years-old, Favre said he just didn’t have the energy anymore.
But I bring good news to you, Wisconsin. Wipe away those tears, football fan. Brett Favre is full of it. He’s coming back. The 2008 Green Bay Packers will be quarterbacked by none other than Brett Favre. Take it to the bank.
Favre is a very good quarterback. He’s a warrior and one of the toughest players to ever don shoulder pads. However, he’s also a bit of a drama queen. How many times has he supposedly almost retired? Even back in his early 30’s, reports said that he might want to hang it up early. Each of the last three or four years, it’s always been a seemingly last second decision.
After his great 2007 season, no one was going to believe that Favre was truly contemplating retiring. He couldn’t play the same cards that he has played over the last few seasons. He had to come up with something new. Something that would make people believe him. And this so-called retirement was the result of Favre’s inner drama queen shining through.
Favre says he’s tired but the truth is that in early March, every NFL player is tired. In fact, rare is the player who is even currently working out. March is a time for relaxation and recovery. With all the injuries, bumps and bruises you pick up during an NFL season, you have to give your body a chance to rest. If everyone NFL player called it quits who was tired in March, there’d be no players left in the league.
Once August and September roll around, Favre will get that itch. The media will start to get wind about how Favre is considering coming back. There will be a media firestorm and all the cameras will be pointed at Favre’s every move. Favre will then hold another press conference saying he’s coming back for one more glorious year. He will become even more of a hero and everyone will celebrate his return. Wisconsinites and football fans will be shocked that Favre decided to come back.
But you won’t be shocked because you will have read all about it before it happened.
