Hey There, It's Christa!

Is He or Isn't He?

Brett Favre announced he is retiring today.

Again.

Since we the loyal Favre fans have been through all this before, do you think the decision will stick this time? Or will there be more drama just like last season?

Thoughts?

Personally, I think it's a little too early for him to make the call. Unless his sore arm is literally falling off as we speak, I think he should've allowed himself a little more distance from the end of the season to make his decision. After all, as the days 'til training camp get closer, I'm thinking he'll miss the thrill of the big game. And heck, if Kurt Warner could make it back to the Superbowl, so could Favre. You know, if he had the right guys around him. Maybe the Jets just weren't the team for him...

Whatever the case, at least the NFL is back in the headlines. I'm already ready for some football.

Brett Favre: A Viking?

While it still pains me a little that Brett Favre isn't sporting a Packers jersey like he should be (see left), I did read a very fascinating editorial in today's St. Paul Pioneer Press that could potentially make the NFC games a little more interesting this year...

Apparently, the Jets are $13 million over their salary cap, which neatly coincides with how much Favre makes per year. So basically if the Jets wanted to solve their little money in one fell swoop, releasing Favre would be the easiest way. And if they did, he can sign with ANY team he wants.

Given the Vikings' dismal QB situation, which didn't exactly help them progress very far in the playoffs, the columnist assets that Favre could be the perfect solution (if that bum arm of his heals and all in the off season, natch).

Seriously...Favre a Viking?

Now while I loathe the Vikings with a passion (except Adrian Peterson, of course, because he's just too amazing of an RB to hate), I think it would be kind of fun to have Favre play for them. It also might be a nice way to sock it to his former team that didn't want to re-sign him last year (tsk, tsk). If anything it'll make the rather dull NFC North division a little more interesting, don't you think?

So do you think purple is Favre's color? I think it might work, and I'm admittedly a Cheesehead. Sad, isn't it?

Things That Make You Go Hmm...

MEMO TO THE GREEN BAY PACKERS' ORGANIZATION: See what happens when you let Brett Favre go and play for the Jets?

See the hat? 'Nuff said.

What's Wrong With This Picture?

Yeah, I've had a couple of days to adjust to the news now, but seeing Favre proudly holding up a Jets jersey is still disconcerting. For one, it's the wrong color green don't ya think?

NFL Football season just isn't going to be as much fun this year. :(

Favre Strikes Again?

This news can't help but give a Packer fan like me some hope. :) Here's hoping that Favre really has the itch to come back (just one more time, please).
