Well, it's the offseason for the NFL. This means that certain things are considered to be inevitable. And here is one such thing - rumors of yet another Brett Favre return.
Apparently, Favre has been part of the crew that has been mentoring Cam Newton, as he tries to get ready for his rookie year. His interest in mentoring Newton has given rise to the speculation that Favre may be considering another comeback. In fact, Favre has said that he is throwing the football now as well as he ever has. Which means that he can now overthrow short receivers or gun the ball into quadruple coverage with the greatest of ease once more.
Look Brett, just go away. You have had more comebacks than a horror movie villain. At this point, Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones think that your inability to hang it up and move on is pathetic. You have nothing left, and have had nothing left for a couple years now. Take that tractor, your jeans commercials, and your tears and mow a lawn someplace else.
Unfortunately, some team desperate for a quarterback (Seattle, Carolina, maybe even Arizona) will come kicking at Favre's tires and sniffing around to see if he's interested in returning. And sure enough, the Ol' Gunslinger will have numerous press conferences, where he cries more than a jilted schoolgirl. And once again, he'll do his 'Aw shucks, they like me, they really like me' routine and show up for yet another final season.
Favre, give something back to the fans of the NFL for once. Give us the enduring image that we all treasure - the image of you writhing in agony as Arthur Moats stands over you. For once in your life, do something that is not all about Brett Favre.
