Come on Brett, don't do this to us again. The bass are biting, the summer sun is nearly shining and we have new quarterbacks whose future needs debating. Stop putting us in a time machine!
We all know why you're doing this, we all know why you left small town Mississippi for life in The Big City last year. It's not because you truly love the game and want to continue playing, it's because you want revenge.
Revenge on a team, a GM and a fan base that had your back through thick and thin, painkillers and alcoholism, atrocious interceptions and the death of your father. They stood by you when you flipped and then flopped one summer after another in your decision on whether or not to hang up the cleats, but selfishly you couldn't stand it when they finally bid their farewell. You're better than this Brett, you're the Gun Slinger, the guy who takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin', but those days are over.
You're coming off surgery, your velocity is down, you even looked cold in that NFC Championship Game against the Giants two years ago, it's not the Brett Favre we've come to know. That interception in overtime, it was almost pathetic to watch...you knew you didn't have the arm strength to throw that out pattern anymore, but you figured what the hell it'll only cost us a trip to the Superbowl? Heck, you're biggest fan John Madden even put done the mick and headset this offseason. Now is the time Brett!
Brett, truthfully, I'm not a big fan of you, but one thing I am a fan of is tradition...I love the thought of historic Lambeau Field, I love when a player only wears one jersey in his career, I love when teams and their fans have something instantly recognizable about them, even when it's a head of Limburger. You've tinted your legacy a bit already with your deplorable play down the stretch last season, but suiting up in purple would only exacerbate it further.
You have ever right to come back Brett....Jordan, Montana, Mays, Bourque...they all donned a different uni, but something just seems sacrilegious about you wearing a Viking jersey on the Frozen Tundra. You know you're only doing this for those two matchups, those two Sunday's when you can try to light up the franchise that waived goodbye. Stop being selfish, this league isn't only about you and the Viking's season is more than just those two dates with The Pack.
Before you make a final decision Brett, think back to last Saturday's Run for the Roses...the Derby favorite was an early morning scratch and now word is that the horse may never gallop again.
The horse's name?
I Want Revenge
