I know, I’ve slacked off. The last time I posted was when the University of Texas was still ranked in NCAA basketball, yeah I know, it sucks for me too.  I’ve been busy with writing for the school paper, work and oh yeah, sleeping.   Is it just me or does it seem like everyone has a comment about the whole Michael Phelps thing, my personal favorite is Seth Myers’ from SNL Really?! Kellogs.  This made me giggle a lot, too bad it was at 4 in the morning and all my roomates were asleep.

Brett, it’s good to quit when you’re on top..Ma$e did.
I know a lot of people want to know what I think of Brett Favre retiring again.  As much I’d like to believe that very touching interview he gave with Ed Werder about being able to “honestly say that he will never play football again.” I just feel like the main reason why he’s retiring isn’t because he’s over football, this guy doesn’t know what else he has left to play for. He’s not playing for the team that he built his career on,  he’s 39 years old and Kurt Warner, who’s only two years younger than him was able to be moved around more than the Rams,  go to the Super Bowl with the EXACT same record as the Jets…and almost win, ALMOST. :(   I’m nowhere near a Favre hater, I think he’s a great QB.
464 touchdowns passes
5,720 completions
65, 127 passing yards
169 regular-season wins
Those numbers are exceptional enough to make him one of the best quarterbacks of all time.  I just really have no sympathy for athletes that play with dedicated fans’ emotions.  My sister Kara is a die-hard Packers fan.  The day he decided to retire the first time, she called me so devastated that I thought it was because she found out that they were canceling The Secret Life of an American Teenager .  When she heard he was retiring again, she was almost indifferent to it.  That sucks.  If Wes Welker said that he would never step into another endzone again to catch the immaculate thing we call a touchdown, I’d be pretty devastated, but if he did 2 times in a span of 2 season, I’d probably punch him in the face.
If Brett Favre decides that he wants to try another run at the NFL …
