The end of the line for Favre?

Well Brett Favre has reportedly retired again. I like most have had about as much as this as I have of Snookie (gosh where would they ever find another one like her in New Jersey, except maybe by crossing the street).

It’s really a challenge to give him the benefit of the doubt since he’s had more retirements than Cher. All these antics have left me without the warm and fuzzy feeling I used to have for FAV-RE having attended his first game coming off the bench for Don “Magic Man” Majkowski on Sept.27 1992. Now 285 consecutive regular season starts later, it might be over.

Internet reports have oddsmakers scrambling to adjust odds on the Vikings and the poor folks that had Minnesota Over 9.5 for season win total, well find another Futures wager to hopefully break even.

No matter your feelings, he was one of the all-time great quarterbacks and to do what he did last year is incomprehensible at 40. If this is truly it, time will heal all wounds and he will be celebrated again in Wisconsin and throughout football.

I still have to wonder however, if Minnesota starts 2-2 or 1-3, does Commissioner Gordon, aka Brad Childress, launch the Batman signal in the sky (likely a large No. 4), with Dallas, at Green Bay and at New England the next three games to save Metropolis or Minnesota?
