Like I said in an earlier post, I'm not going to provide much commentary/opinion on the Packers, mainly because there are so many avenues for that opinion.
But I can't get over the fact that Brett Favre chose to return to a team that isn't going to win more than five games. Is it really all about the records for him? Maybe he just enjoys playing. Or he thought he'd be traded to the Dolphins or Jets or something.
Whatever it is, I think it's a bad idea that he's still playing. I'm sure most, if not all athletes, don't want to play way beyond their prime.
But Favre reached that point in the 2003 playoffs, when he just gave up against the Eagles and lofted an pass for anyone to grab. He's had a great career, he's a hall of famer for sure, but this is just embarrasing.
Not only that, the team around him is horrible. The offensive line, even if it stays healthy, has problems. The running game shows almost no life. There's no pass rush from the defensive linemen which is going to put a tremendous amount of pressure on the team's young linebackers and Charles Woodson is looking like a complete bust as a free-agent pickup.
Let's just hope that at the end of this season Favre can choose to hang them up rather than having something happen to him this year that forces him to retire.
