Brett Favre

As I was reading about Favre retiring, I was thinking to myself that he should be making the decision about comming back sometime in May like he has in the last few years. Even though I am not a Packer fan, I can still respect Brett. He has been the symbol of Green Bay and the state of Wisconsin for the last 17 years. If he were to run for state govenor, he would probably win. The reason why I can respect Favre is not the three straight MVP's, a Super Bowl ring, many of the major passing records, consecutive games started by a quarterback, or any of his other accomplishements. The reason I can respect Favre is that he was the gun slinger at the OK Corral. His playing style was fun to watch. He did wild and crazy things to win games and also lose games for the Packers. One of my favorite Monday Night football games was the Packers and the Raiders and Favre through for roughly four touchdowns in the first half after the death of his father in law. Another cool remberance was when Tampa Bay was in the same division as Green Bay, the rivalry between Favre and Warren Sapp was always interesting to watch. When Favre went into rehab for addiction to pain killers, he admitted to it and dealt with it. With being a Vikings fan, it was always fun watching him come to the Metrodome. I hope Favre enjoys retirment playing golf
