First! A Brett Farve Post

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

So it looks like Brett has a case of the flip-flop. In a report by Chris Mortensen on ESPN Brett is looking to come back to the Packers or be released so he can sign with another team.

“Cook(Brett’s agnet), on behalf of Favre, expressed a desire to have an amicable parting, as the Packers have been reluctant to embrace his return. Favre announced his retirement in early March.”

When he does come back it looks like there are going to be a lot of questions. Let’s look at the possible scenarios:

1. Starts for the Packers - +1, Aaron Rodgers can sit another year(odds: 2 to 1)

2. Stays with the Pack and backs up Rodgers - once Rodgers stinks up the place everyone is going to be clamoring for Brett to jump in. (odds: 5 to 1)

3. Release him and he goes to: Minnesota, Chicago, Baltimore, Carolina, 49ers, KC (odd: 30 to 1)

4. Stays retired (odds: no chance)

Seeing Brett in another jersey would just be sacrilegious. It reminds of when Jerry Rice ran off to the Radiers then the Seahawks or Joe Montana to the Chiefs. Though in many cases the greats that un-retire can have a productive year. I think he should stay retired and not pull another Michael Jordan and the countless others who come back only to tarnish the legacy they left behind.
