Since no one else here has posted about this yet, let me insert my $0.03.Being a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I don't have as much to say about this whole fustercluck between Brett Favre and Green Bay as some. Yet, from afar (well, the AFC), I've always admired both Green Bay and Brett Favre. Very few players play the game as hard or have as much fun on the field as Favre; as such it's difficult to find anything negative to say about him. Similarly with Green Bay-- they're the only franchise owned by the town and the people of its town, and I've always found that to be an uncommon bright spot in this world of teams switching cities. Yet I find myself taking Favre's side in this kerfluffle. I had wondered back in March why he chose then to retire-- unfortunately, it ended up being pressure from Green Bay to decide that pushed him into making that bad decision then. It's very sad to see a quarterback with as many consecutive starts as Favre has had for Green Bay being shuttled off to another team-- in 10 years, whoever Green Bay chooses in the draft pick they get from the Jets is going to be the answer to a trivia question in the category 'Most Bone-headed Trades Of All Time'.read more
