It Makes Me Sick!

...and it's ruining football... Just when we thought it was going to be a season of moving on beyond the big Cheesehead, where the only concern would be how many times the announcers would compare current and future QBs to the legendary Brett Favor of yesteryear, his "return" is now plastered all over the stinkin' home page of NFL.com. There's no escape, hyper-Favre-ism is out of control, and the guy isn't even a starter as of now. It's sickening.

Personally, I'm w/ the Packers on this and think the league needs a new rule against coming back from retirement. If players can do this, they can retire at any time and ask for reinstatement and go to any team they want. With a salary cap, Favre is in the driver seat, as any big retirement will drastically change how a team plans moving forward. He's blown it. He should be made to sit out a full year if he wants to come back on his on terms.

On a side note: as much as I empathize that BWest is underpaid, I don't care. Play the game and quit the whining. When those players that undeperform their contracts start giving back, then we can deal with "unfair" situations like this. BWest signed his contract and took security over year by year increases. Tough luck. It's the game you play, and for teams that make good calls, hooray. For those teams that get stuck with ugly contracts, sorry about your luck, bad investing. You can't take security and then plead a cause of underpayment. I can't do that in my job, and none of my investments give me downside protection. The NFL is approaching sickening-ness.
