Enough of that though. This morning I got out of the shower and turned on Sports Center like I do every morning. What do you think was the first thing I heard as I was getting dressed?.... Brett Farve. It seams that we have been duped again, football fans. Brett Farve said that he would not play for the Minnesota Vikings this year and he was going to hang up the cleats (again) and keep what ever shred of self respect he has left. Finally, I thought, just like everybody else, that he was finally done for good. Unfortunately I was wrong though, because it seems that Brett has still been talking to the Vikings front office and even players in the Vikings locker room were telling the press that Brett and the Vikings were a "done deal" and that he would undoubtedly be in purple by the third preseason game.
Brett, I understand it's hard to walk away from certain things. Anybody who has ever played a sport they love has understood how you must feel. You have been fortunate enough to play this countries most popular sport (and in my opinion, the world greatest sport) at the highest level possible and you did it with a style and attitude that caused an entire city and state and most of the country to love and respect you for it. You are a shoo-in to have your name engraved in a wall in Canton, Ohio next to the likes of Joe Montana, Bart Star, John Elway, and Joe Namath. You have a superbowl ring. What else could you want?
I would rather not watch you ruin your legacy by popping back into the game every year after you have already announced your retirement. One, it's annoying and two, if you don't play like the Brett Farve in his prime then you will always be remembered as an old washed up Brett Farve. Brett, please stop. I don't want to start disliking you.
Gridiron Gurus will hopefully be on air this Friday (21st) from 6 to 8. Make sure you tune in at bearcastradio.com
