Oh Brett.

So, instead of posting something interesting, I decided to change my blog theme. I haven’t decided if it’s too girly. Only time will tell.

Speaking of girly, let’s talk football. Specifically, let’s talk about Mr. Brett Favre. If you recall (I assume you don’t), I posted about Brett’s first fake retirement a couple of seasons ago. I was saddened to hear he would no longer be a Green Bay Packer. And that’s saying a lot, as a die-hard Chicago Bears fan. It was like my childhood was coming to an end. Just as I was coming to terms with my grief…the iconic cheese head decided to unretire, move to New York and become a Jet. It was shocking!

Nevertheless, he unretired and played for a year. His year started off ok, but then went drastically down hill toward the end. I think his final professional play was interception. We all knew his unretirement had been a mistake…I did, anyway.

I was relieved when I heard Brett wouldn’t be returning this year. He was officially retired. Even he said he wouldn’t be 100% if he returned. Finally logic proceeded love of the game.

…or did it…

Just a few days ago we discovered Mr. Favre had unretired YET AGAIN, and signed with the Minnesota Vikings. TREASON!! I almost feel sorry for Packers fans out there. Almost.

Anyway, I can’t say I blame Favre for selling his soul. He has signed a two-year, $25 million deal that places him in charge of a top-contending team. Not to mention, he’ll be playing a lot of his games in the comfort of a dome this season and next. He may even finish with a ring on his finger.

NOTE: I, of course, hope the Bears crush the Vikings (specifically Brett) in, say, a conference championship.

On the other hand, maybe jewelry isn’t important to Brett. In fact, who knows, maybe Favre will keep on playing as long as teams hire him. All I know is I can’t keep posting about his retirement…or unretirement.
