You sir, are a three time league MVP. You are a Super Bowl Champion. You hold most of the important records, most consecutive starts, most yardage all time, most touchdown passes all time, and we love you. You will be in the Hall of Fame in your first year of eligibility, and you deserve to be. I have loved watching you play. I am in awe.
But please, PLEASE, Mr. Favre, stop. Stop making a fool of yourself. Stop trying to play a game that is designed for men fifteen years younger than you. Stop teasing us with your retirement, your changes of heart, your desire to play the game.
We know you love football, there is no question of your talent, you are larger than life. Why do you insist on tainting your amazing career with a circus parade through mediocre teams?
If you so love this game, if you just cannot get football out of your system, then go hang out at Kiln High School, at Southern Miss, and give those boys your support, share your wisdom, volunteer to be the Quarterback's personal coach. You will give those kids the thrill of a lifetime, and you will save the rest of us from having to watch them carry you off the field.
Because they will. Likely at Lambeau. And those Packer fans that once so loved and welcomed you, that treated you as the Prince of Green Bay, will delight in seeing your downfall. You will be booed in what was once your home. You will be the broken old guy that did not know that it was time to give it up. You will end up the laughingstock of the NFL. And all the accolades and records and trophies will mean nothing when the league and your fans and the nation no longer respect you.
HAHA! That was great!
