Say it Isn't So Brett, That You Will Shed Your Green Bay Packer Uniform

, What a difference a day makes. Imagine how much difference three months could make. If you are Brett Favre (pronounced Farve) of the Green Bay Packers, it could make all of the difference in the world.

In March of this year, Favre-a man\'s man and the perfect pro football teammate-could not hold back the tears as he officially retired to another life. He would go out on top, and as a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Fame selection in the future. He had stood the test of time during his 17-year career, and his numbers were record-setting in every important statistic for a NFL quarterback.

His 160 wins as a starting quarterback are the most in NFL history. His 275 consecutive starts streak (including playoffs) as a quarterback are the most in NFL history. His 442 career touchdown passes, 5,377 career completions, 8,758 career Nike Pro Combat NFL Uniforms passing attempts, and 61,655 career passing years are all the most in NFL history.

Favre is also a 3-time AP NFL Most Valuable Player (the most in history), and a 9-time Pro Bowl Player that led the Packers to 7 Division titles, 2 Super Bowl appearances and 1 Super Bowl victory.

There was nothing really left for him to accomplish. For the last few years, no one was certain that he would return to Green Bay for another year. In March this year he declared his career as a player was finally over.

There was just one problem-apparently he did not have another life. Brett Favre eats, drinks, sleeps and thinks football 24/7 and so, after apparently rolling out of bed one morning with no pain, and going through the day without always being reminded of past injuries, he felt ready to come back for another season.

Suddenly there was a second problem. Green Bay had decided to move on with his replacement Aaron Rogers (their 2005 first-round draft pick), so while Green Bay did not want Favre going any other place, they would only welcome him back to ride the bench.

Favre does not ride the bench. He could start tomorrow for the majority of NFL teams and improve their offense and chances of winning more games. Other than Peyton Manning, Peyton\'s brother Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Matt Hasselbeck and perhaps a couple of others, there is not a team in the NFL with a better quarterback than Brett Nike Pro Combat NFL Uniforms Favre. Put it this way, of the 32 NFL teams, Favre could definitely start for at least 20 of them, and each of the 20 teams would be better with him as their starter.

Favre\'s situation is stressful and will be resolved before the season starts, but it is stressful for me as well because I am a Green Bay Packer stockholder, Favre is my favorite NFL player, I do not want to see him in a different color uniform, and I am concerned about his legacy.

So say it isn\'t so Brett, that you will shed your Green Nike Pro Combat NFL Uniforms Bay Packer uniform.

Why would he return? For another $12 million season? I doubt it, he has enough money already to live the rest of his life in leisure. To make his NFL records impossible to reach? Brett knows records are to be broken, that is how he acquired them. There is no reason for him to return other than love of the game and camaraderie.

Favre is a player\'s player. If you polled Green Bay\'s players and said who do you want to start: Brett Favre or Aaron Rogers, you can bet that Favre would win by a landslide. That said, Green Bay management is not moving off of the dime. They are drawing a line in the sand.
