Rumor has it, retired Green Bay Packer and future Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre is contemplating a comeback. The talk around the NFL watercoolers is that Favre's agent has made contacts to a handful of teams to see if they would be interested in signing the quarterback. In a recent interview, Favre said that if his successor on the Packers is injured and the team approaches Favre about the possibility of playing again, the offer would be tempting.
However, Favre has already made his comeback. On the day after Favre announced his retirement, the students in my wife's middle school special education class worked on a hand-made thank you card for Favre. One student, I'll just call him Zach, was distraught about Favre's retirment. Zach was the commander of the troops that worked on the card. Somehow, the letter made its way to the offices of the Green Bay Packers. Today, a thank you letter from Brett Favre addressed to my wife's class arrived at the school. Sure, the letter may have been signed by an "auto-pen" - it is sometimes difficult to tell. Nevertheless, the letter must have been sent with the approval and support of Favre. This seemingly small gesture will be remembered forever by the kids in my wife's class......especially Zach. The letter was the talk of the entire school.
