WE'RE TALKIN' SPORTS

The main SPORTS topic of discussion around our house this time of year is, drum roll...., BASEBALL. I mean we came up with Cannon's name after Michael Young made an awesome throw. "Wow he has a cannon for an arm. Nickie what about Cannon?" It really was that simple. After all the months we spent disagreeing on names, Cannon.
So I was saying. Baseball is what we live, breath and watch all spring, summer and early fall. Yes EARLY fall! We are Rangers fans and without THE RUSTY GREER it seems they have not gotten a lot accomplished towards the playoffs. This year they are creeping closer and closer, we are ecstatic, but another sport is sneaking into our baseball time of year.... If you guessed hockey, you don't know my family, but if you guessed football and all this Favre talk you are correct.
What is going on with The Brett Favre and The Packers? It is like they have both forgotten where they came from. Yeah, the Packers have been the Packers, but I will venture to say that 99% of all the fans that bleed packer green have their blood cells in the shape of a 4! And Favre, yeah YOU are the hall of fame quarterback, but there should not be a doubt in your mind that Green Bay is the reason you are there! You can't even win in Dallas! Good thing they did not pick you up or you might have gotten to spend a lot more time in Mississippi.
Did the organization push him to retire? Did he go back on his word? We will never know, but for these two well respected parties to be airing their dirty laundry in such a nasty ways makes me sad.
In my OPINION: He is FREAKING Brett Favre! LET HIM PLAY! He might have made a mistake, but he is the face of your franchise. No matter if he throws an interception on every single pass, YOUR FANS ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE! And you sure do not want YOUR fans to cheer for #4 in a Vikings uniform!

Just think what kids, like my nephew, will learn if you let him come back. There is always a way to rectify a bad decision and people will forgive you.

FAVRE, BACK TO THE PACK! FAVRE, BACK TO THE PACK! FAVRE, BACK TO THE PACK!
