Is Favre trying to make his name synonymous with "waffle," or what?

You know...throwing the ball into the first base dugout is "going Knoblach;" coming up with a ridiculous and completely unfounded assertion is "Goreing." Do we want the annual "is he retired or is he coming back?" story for the QB du jour to be called "Favreing?"

I don't know about you, but I'm a little more than tired of the annual "what will Brett do?" sweepstakes. It seems as though it's been an annual phenomenon for as long as I can remember, like swallows to Capistran or, more correctly I suppose, like buzzards to Hinckley.

This year (allegedly), he was actually retired. I mean, he had the "real tears" news conference and everything. Did he think that the Packers were going to beat down his door and BEG him to come back? Well, that's probably exactly what he thought, but, when it didn't happen, he supposedly asked for an unconditional release from his GB contract so he could hook up with another team.

Look, I know that the NFL is desperate for quarterbacks and all; (I mean, doesn't someone seems to trot out the corpse of Vinny Testaverde at least once a year?), but how many years does BF have left even if he's not toiling in the frozen tundra? One? Two?

Anybody not named New England that close to a Super Bowl that they're willing to mortgage the future for one or two years of season-ending interceptions? Uhhh....sorry, Brett. They've got this guy that they really like, name of Brady....I don't think they'd be interested.

Brett - do us all a favre; go away. Go fishing, go golfing, go kayaking, go ANYWHERE, as long as it's away. I'm tired of this circus, and the LAST thing you want is to take the record for most mundane, boring and tired story line of the decade away from Ana Nicole and her two-year funeral procession!
