For the past couple years, the hot topic around NFL circles was when Brett Favre would officially retire. However, after a fantastic 2007 regular season at age 38, Favre is showing every indication that he’ll return for an 18th season in Green Bay.
“Each week, I bring more stress on myself wondering if this is too good to be true,” Favre told the Sun Herald. “I want to continue the streak and winning. When I talk about the streak, it’s not the (consecutive) starts; it’s the hot streak we are on. Then, I ask what can I do better?
“I am trying to enjoy it because this could be my last game in Green Bay. For the first time in three years, I haven’t thought this could be my last game. I would like to continue longer.”
Amazing what winning will do for a player; good for Favre. Retiring should be his decision and his decision alone – not the media’s. Obviously he can still play at a high level and after this year, nobody should question whether or not the game has passed him by. You tell us when it’s your last game, Brett.
