Word, Brett: It’s Starting to Get Old
Brett Favre is really a class act, and one of the all-time greats, and so I’m all for giving him a little leeway with this huge decision and all, but you know, there is a limit, and if he’s not there yet, he’s certainly got it in his sights.
Favre Still Hasn’t Decided Whether to Play Next Season
It’s not an easy decision, I’m quite sure; unless you’re a boxer, when you’re done, you’re done, basically, and football’s been his life for many years. I’ve not really been a Packer Backer, but I certainly appreciate his gunslinging abilities. But if the case is that he isn’t going to play more than one more year, and if he doesn’t want to play for anyone else, and if he wants a chance to win…well, the options aren’t appealing, it seems to me. The Packers are not going to contend this year, it wouldn’t seem (not unless they miraculously find some protection for Favre), so why go out, get beat up, and lose? Canton is five years away from whenever he hangs it up, and I’d say that a 2010 induction looks about right…
This phrase comes from the 1978 "Jonestown massacre" in which most members of the Peoples Temple cult, blindly following their leader Jim Jones, committed suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.
