I didn't want to make any comments about Brett Favre, but I can't avoid it any longer. It's become a major issue in the sports world. You can't escape the coverage. It's the headliner on every major sports magazine. I have been a loyal fan of the NFL since the 70s. From Joe Montana to John Elway, I have seen all the great ones play. Favre wants to hold on a little longer since he can still play.
Anyone remember when Coach Jerry Glanville said the NFL stood for "not for long." This famous sports quote still rings true. Football is a tough sport; it's a game of violence, pain and brutal hits. Brett Favre has lasted 16 seasons in a sport where the average career is finished in 4 years.
Do you put the old guy (Favre) out to pasture and go with the youth movement? He voluntarily stepped aside for Aaron Rogers back in March. Now Favre has changed his mind and wants to send Rogers back to clipboard duty.
Let me provide a simple solution to the Packer's dilemma. Who gives you the better chance to win now? If you are the head coach, forget about the future because you won't have one if you don't win today.
Favre got the Pack within a play or two from last year's Super Bowl. Professional sports is more of a business than a kid's game. Either you win or you leave. Pick the guy who can get you into the playoffs tomorrow. Favre is the guy with all the honors who can get you into the playoffs now.
