Oh why can't Brett Favre make up his mind? He announced his retirement from football and the Green Back Packers in early March. Less than two weeks later, he had second thoughts. He called Green Bay Packers management and said he might want to unretire. They were open to the idea and made plans to charter a plan to meet in person with him. A few days later, he called to tell them that he wanted to remain retired. The Packers moved ahead with plans for a post-Brett Favre team. They named a new starting quarterback and drafted two additional quaterbacks in April.
Then in July, things got ugly. The situation became public with Brett Favre's handlers claiming that the Packers didn't want him back and didn't treat him well. The Packer mouthpieces responded by saying that Favre's indecision was a problem.
Where do the fans fall in relation to the line that has been "drawn in the sand"? I think I am in the majority of fans in hoping that this situation will have a quiet death. Both Favre's handlers and the Packer mouthpieces should withhold any comments. The fans no longer care about who is right and who is wrong. They want the situation to go away. Unfortunately, neither Favre nor the Packers want what is best - whatever that may be. They simply want to publicly humiliate the other. We should not expect anymore from people that are involved in playing a game for a living. It is difficult for them to recognize that life is not a game.
