Part of me thinks ESPN and it's 24/7, 12 months a year coverage of the NFL needs to drum up some good stories, so ol' Brett is just a pawn in their game. Then reality strikes and I realize this guy loves the spot light and attention as much, if not more than, the likes of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, OJ Simpson and the like.
MJ decided he had to keep coming back, despite it tarnishing his legacy (luckily he had 6 titles to fall back on).

But then I Brett's 'ah shucks, I'm just a country boy' bit is part smoke and mirrors. Yes, he is a small-town guy, but after all those years with the Packers and all those post-seasons of "will he or won't" retire I am just plain sick of the story.
Brad Childress says Brett Favre "was worth a conversation," but the Minnesota Vikings coach insists the veteran quarterback remains retired -- as far as he knows.
Now the news this week is Minnesota gave Favre "a week" to decide if his surgically repaired shoulder is good enough to play another year. And news this morning that Favre's family has booked a block of rooms in Green Bay the weekend the Vikings visit the Pack on November 1. Can we say DRAMA!!?!!
Now, let's talk about Cutler and what a immature baby he is and how Bus Cook represents both Favre and Cutler... now there is a story I can get excited about!
Favre, go back to Louisiana, get on your tractor and mow your yard so I can wear my Favre jersey in public before my son is big enough to wear it. That's all I'm asking for!
