Our long national nightmare is over. No the economy hasn't recovered yet. No there is peace in the Middle East. But Brett Favre has finally made a decision about his future in the NFL.And the verdict is, he's staying retired. Or at least according to ESPN.
Quarterback Brett Favre has informed Minnesota Vikings officials that he will remain retired, according to The Star Tribune.Well I guess Rachel Nichols can finally pack up her tent and get off Favre's lawn. That's unless Favre wakes up tomorrow and decides he wants to play again. We've all been here before folks.
Coach Brad Childress confirmed the news to the Star Tribune, leaving the Vikings in an unexpected and awkward spot with training camp set to open Wednesday. The Vikings are now left to choose between Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels as their 2009 starter.
"I just think it was a rare opportunity to explore a Hall of Fame quarterback who had background in the NFC and in this division," Childress said to the newspaper. "He knows our system inside out ... This doesn't change anything about how I feel about our football team."

ReplyDeleteYeah, this "announcement" marks the point late in the (Nightmare on Elm Street/Friday the 13th) movie where the d-bag says to the hot chick: "I think (Freddy/Jason) is finally dead for good," right before one of them gets killed.
And the real funny part is that last night, Rich Eisen tweeted: "What a day! Now Favre tells our Mariucci that he's going to keep throwing & wonders how he'll feel about his decision in the AM. Is it over?"
ReplyDeleteObviously it's well past morning and he's still retired, but how many times has Favre changed his mind? As much as I hate to say it, this may not be the end...
