Favrah, We Hardly Knew Ye

A couple of years ago, I remember playing basketball against me father, we played one game I won, he demanded a rematch, and I beat him again, then the third game he beat me and then was ready to go home. To this day, I never got the rematch. Anyway the point of that story was that my father got a chance to go out on top(somewhat) and took it. A lot of people don't get that chance, in fact a good of 70% of athletes will tell you that their last game was a loss, maybe 85% if you count missing the playoffs as a loss.

Brett Favre, who has just about every record possible until Peyton Manning breaks it in a couple years, has a difficult choice to make end his career on this loss, or try again and possibly end on an even lower note. I think he should retire. Hang it up now, everyone can't end their career likeJohn Elway. I'm not a Pack fan, but I am a football fan and I know personally it would hurt to see Favre come back, have a season like 2005 and this past season become a distant memory.

Look at Steve McNair, he took his team to a couple inches away from a Lombardi, won a MVP and took an average Baltimore Ravens team to heights unknown. But now you hear McNair, you think fragile, washed up, sucks. Why? Because he should've ended his career last year after that loss. The Packers are a young team, but who is to say they are to match this season or even improve from it. The San Diego Chargers are the only top seed from last years playoffs to even make it back to the playoffs but they are in a weak division.

For the Pack, The NFC North is nothing to scoff at. You have the Bears who swept them this year, the Minnesota Vikings who might've been in Arizona-bound if Dallas didnt tank that Week 17 game, and the Lions who are a decent RB away from being a force to be reckoned with. The Packs season itself is proof that anything is possible, no one outside of Wisconsin or Mississippi thought that the Packers would by 13-3. Now I think the bar is set a tad bit too high which is why I believe that this might be where the buck stops for the green and gold, with or without Favre.

If Favre loves the game that much, why not try coaching(please don't become the 2247th ESPN NFL Analyst). Even as much as cheeseheads love #4, they can't help but wish that the Favre era ends here. It's time to look ahead into the future. See if they got a steal in Rodgers. And hey if Aaron Rodgers sucks, there's always Tim Tebow.

To Trizz,

Since I am all knowing and can look into the minds and souls of all I will give you some inside information.

Brett will play one more year. Then never again.

That's a lot of What-ifs Trizz. I think you give the Lions entirely too much credit and the Vikings have a long way to go before they establish a decent passing attack. The Bears offense is inept and their defense is aging. The Packers are the class of the division and Favre is a big reason for that. Name 5 quarterbacks in the NFC that you would take over Favre.

Bulger? Are you fricking kidding me? You would take an immobile, oft-injured QB, over the iron man and a Super Bowl winning QB?

To Cheezer, Eli Manning will become the greatest quarterback of all time. Tom Brady will break his hand in the superbowl. Brett Favre will play one more season, however, Green Bay will fail to make the playoffs and he will retire. Peyton will never get over that Eli hs become better than him. Tony Romo will continue to date Jessica, have kids, and finish his carrier in shame (one more year and miss the playoffs). Roesthlisberger wil become another "great QB who never wins the superbowl". Garcia will face a right knee problem next year. Rex Grossman will commit suicide. McNabb will be charged on dog-rat fighting charges.

I never lost to my dad in basketball, but he sure as hell beaned me a few times in baseball. As much as I'd expect Farvrahy to retire, I don't see it coming just yet. I agree with Enybo; I don't see how he'll allow himself to go out with his last professional pass being an interception. He should've just kneed it.

The Vikings were far from Arizona bound, believe me. The team still has a lot of growing pains to go through before they can win in the playoffs:
  1. Make Childress less stubborn
  2. Figure out what you want to do with Jackson this next season. If he isnt the guy they want, tank the season
  3. Get another WR (or 2)
  4. add a good DE
  5. add a veteran DB
