Status: online 		not to stir things up, but he is typical of pro athletes anymore.  it is not about money as it is about attention.  so many cry when they retire, only to return again and maybe again.  once the spotlight is off of them, a bunch seem to get into trouble.  we treat them as though they are demi-gods and pay them money and homage, but in the end they are knuckleheads like us.  (i used to attend 25-30 baseball games a year, now i boycott all pro sports because i am a mulehead.  i would have played baseball for minimum wage and not asked to be traded).  i was on my way up to cleveland to see a game once and saw a homeless guy standing on an exit ramp.  not long after, players (millionaires) when on strike against the owners (millionaires).  after that, i swore they would never get another penny of mine.  as said, i am a mulehead.

makes no sense to me what brett is doing.  if he wanted to still be connected, work with the kids, or be a qb coach on the h.s. or college level.  he could share his gifts.

He should have stayed retired. He lost all respect. I hope he busts.

so much for that team over the years. He should of just
reported to camp and he would have beat out Rodgers
by opening day. The guy is a gamer.

Status: online 		All I think of Farve now is him crying like a little baby(understandably) on ESPN announcing his retirement. If he would have left it at that I would have had alot more respect for him than I do now. I'm sure he'll be rammed down out throats some more this season.

But who knows... he could come out and shock us all. The Jets will still suck though

just Brett being Brett. When he does that in New York, the media will
rip him apart.

Status: offline 		I feel it was as much Bretts fault as it was the Pack. But i really think when a guy loves the game the way he does to come back after 17 seasons with one team only to go to another it shows how much he loves the game. But the problem is if he would have never announced his retirement would GB have eventually pushed him out the door or is that what really happened? He is arguably one of the greatest Qb's to ever play the game, led the Pack to a 13-3 season last year, had one of his best years ever, I say give him another chance.
