Here we go again

Well it is that time of year again. The Super Bowl was probably one of the greatest games I've ever seen. The Pro Bowl...well is the Pro Bowl and let's just be glad it's over. And the Brett Favre saga is in full throttle.

Last year at this time as tears were falling down his face, he told all the Packer fans out there that he was walking away. He said he couldn't play anymore. Everyone in Packer nation believed him. Why wouldn't they? He was THEIR quarterback. They said their goodbyes and moved on.
Well a few months later, Favre decided he still had some playing time left in him after all. He came back to the team that made him who he was and demanded his starting position back. The only problem was that the Packers actually moved on. They had the audacity to believe that Farve had retired and they started reforming their team.

This didn't sit well the the future hall of famer, he didn't come out of retirement to sit on the bench! So he demanded a trade. The Packers gave it to him and he signed with the New York Jets. Well after a 9-7 season and missing the playoffs, Farve has desided to hang up the cleats...one more time.Personally I think he should have stayed retired the first time around. He had nothing to prove by coming back for one more season...especially playing for a team like the Jets. So what do you think? Do you think he will stay retired? I guess only time will tell.
