First off, let me apologize to BigPopa. I know you love the guy, hell I love the guy, but it's shit like this that I can't stand. Brett "Let's Throw Some More Interceptions" Farve is contemplating coming back. After his tearful farewell in March, March 6th to be precise, and his horrible "Time to say Hello" commercial later that month, it's taken less than four months for him to decide that maybe he should've held off on pulling that trigger.

You know what Farve? Too bad. You now want to come back, screw up whatever the Packers wanted to do, for your own selfish reason that you still want to play. Well, you quit. Now the Packers can't do anything to look good. If you come back, and they keep you, you screw Aaron Rodgers out of a starting job, and most likely screw Green Bay out of a great starting quarterback next year, or whenever you "really" decide to retire. If they trade or release you, Green Bay will look like assholes trading off a legend for their own needs, which to be entirely honest, is what they need to do.

And yeah, he had a great year last year, and yeah, if he decided two weeks prior to the season that his heart wasn't in it then this would all be seen different. But it's not like that. This is three and a half months after he decided to RETIRE from football forever. So he's bored. So am I. Get a hobby, start gaming, do something, but for christ's sake, do not fuck the Packers over like this.

Another thing that Farve may not understand yet is: "Maybe they've moved on." Meaning the fans of course. What's going to happen when he comes back next year and his old fans, who hated when he retired but accepted it, realize that "Nope, he hasn't figured it out yet, he hasn't given up the flame he just lied to us and maybe we're not ready to take him back." Much less what's going to happen to his legacy and reputation if he comes back and plays for a team like Minnesota or Chicago. Good lord I can hear the upset from here.



And it's not like I've never had a legend quarterback where I'm at. I was lucky enough to see the rise and fall of Troy Aikman, from his first season of losing greatness to his last spectacular concussion. Which, for what it's worth, made him into a not bad announcer and apparently let's him ignore the smarmy bastard sitting next to him. But he knew when enough was enough, said good-bye, and left. Then again, he left over injury concerns, not being 90...wait, 38, which is still pretty friggin' old for a quarterback in the NFL. But after the last few years of dicking around his team for months after the season, after finally announcing that he's done, after going out on pretty much the top of every record that means something, after everyone finally thinks they can move on, to change his mind and decide that he's not done...that's just wrong.

Like I said, I love the guy, I just don't think this will play out well. He'll do what he wants to do ultimately, I just think that this will tarnish his (up until now) great legacy as one of football's greatest quarterbacks.

Then again, he IS on the cover of Madden....


Will the curse live on?
