Go Away Favre!

The day has come where I think that Brett Favre is finally going to hang up the helmet and call it quits.

FINALLY!!!!!

A Hall of Fame career that consisted of 18 years, 464 touchdowns, 65,127 yards and being the Cal Ripken Jr. of football with playing like 800 consecutive games!

I'll give Favre his credit but there comes a time when enough is enough. I honestly don't think there was anything more annoying to watch on ESPN (other than NY coverage) than the countless hours of Brett Favre coverage.

Honestly! There was breaking news every time the man walked down the street, got a hamburger, talked to his wife and used the restroom.

BREAKING NEWS: Brett Favre just blew his nose and some of his snot was green. Bring in the doctor.

I just think that it we were just talking and talking about him so much and I honestly couldn't take it any longer.

I know that our good friend Pete is madly in love with this man and so is everyone else in Green Bay and probably all over the country, but watch your idol/legend go out with some class.

Favre started to turn into a "cancer" in the locker room and to the organization. Never knowing what he was going to do. "Yea Im retiring. No I'm not retiring. Yea Maybe I'll retire." This is what we heard from him every other day. Make up your mind.

Think of the countless drafts that Green Bay went into and didn't know if they should choose the next franchise quarterback or should they just wait out and see if Favre will be around for the next couple of years. That is not showing class or consideration to an organization that portrayed you as the second coming of christ.

Then the NY Jets year. OK, he brought a lot of attention to the Jets by getting them on the front page news, but I really don't think he helped that team anymore than he hurt them. He forced their hand in trading their franchise Quarterback and then came back to choke when it mattered most. Being 8-3 and in the playoffs and ending the season 1-4 watching at home with your bowl of popcorn, falls on the quarterbacks shoulders.

I will enjoy seeing Favre give his Hall of Fame speech, but he will always be the Willey Mays of our era finishing his career in a Mets uniform and not looking to swift doing it.
