brett favre cryingIt would appear that Brett Favre has been traded to the New York Jets.  According to Yahoo Sports, The Green Bay Packers traded Quarterback Brett Favre to the New York Jets for a draft pick, 2 llamas, and an unopened bag of Funyuns.  Whether or not cash was involved in the trade is unclear at this point.  What I do know is that there is still no happy ending apparent in the debacle that surrounds Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers.  

What do I think?  I think Favre should have stayed retired.  If he didn't want to retire, he shouldn't have retired.  Players retiring then coming back rarely, if ever, turns out well.  If there is going to be a comeback, let's put David Hasselhoff back in KITT and revive Knight Rider.  Enough of this Mustang KITT.  Let's put the Hoff back in the sweet ride, eh?  

Montana as a 49er or as a Chief?

Rice as a 49er or as a Raider?

Ryan Leaf, maybe you need to come back to the NFL.  I mean, you did so well.  Let's just let everybody come back in.  Retirement means nothing in sports.  Brett Favre can retire in 2009 (again) as a Jet.  Then, if he's unhappy, he can unretire and see if he can get picked up by somebody else.  Oh, and good luck in the AFC East.  Enjoy playing the Patriots twice this season.  

This has not been pretty and it's not over.  Pride comes before a fall, and there is enough pride out there to cause a whole lot of falling.
