5 Reasons Brett Favre Needs to Stay Retired (and if not please come here)

The fans of the NFL, and certainly Green Bay, have heard this story before. He is retired, he is not retired, he is retired again. I am surprised John Madden has not died of a heart attack with all this flip flopping – can’t be good on the old man’s ticker. I have read numerous other blogs coming down on both sides of the ledger. Some support Favre for the icon in Wisconsin and Green Bay that he is. Brett is the Green Bay Packers and if he wants to come back they should part the seas and let him come. Others come down on the side of Green Bay management who gave Brett every opportunity to come back prior to the NFL draft and he still he orated that he was retired and hence the Packers drafted two quarterbacks in case their quarterback of the future, Aaron Rogers, is not that good. The Packer’s brass is in a no win situation. They are assuredly a better team right now with gramps in at quarterback (remember they were one field goal away from advancing to the Super Bowl), however, another lost season for Aaron Rogers and Green Bay may never see if this guy truly has any talent. That said, here are my five reasons for Brett to stay retired.

1) Able to stay at home and collect social security and get discounts at the movies.
2) You are going to have a terrible year anyway as you are on the cover of Madden 2009.
3) My team, Detroit, may finally have a chance to win a game in Wisconsin (probably will still lose because they blow but it is a sure loss if Favre is playing - 0-18 I think is the Lions record in Wisconsin games since Favre has taken over).
4) Kitna needs to remain the best quarterback in NFC Central. The Lions don’t seem to have too many positive things going right now and it would be nice to be the leader in something positive. And before this gets disputed, Rogers is not going to be good yet. Jackson from Minnesota blows and who the heck knows who is starting in Chicago so Kitna wins by default , but wins just the same!
5) Sick of the yahoo behind me at Ford Field yelling “Favre don’t you know how to pronounce your name”, and “Favre sucks”. Yes I know this is a selfish reason but darnit it, this clown is annoying. Plus we are in the upper deck so Brett cannot hear his utterances anyway.

So Brett, can you please, please, please stay retired and give our long suffering Lions fans a chance to actually win the division (yes I am not a dufis, I realize it will take a lot more than that, but we have to start somewhere). That said, if the competitive juices are flowing such that you really feel the need to play another season, could you see to it that you end up in a Lions uniform? You could really stick it to your old team that way! I am sure our kicker, Jason Hanson (who is our best player by the way), would be willing to give up his #4 jersey to make this happen.
