My Brett Favre Blog

The Brett Favre saga may have begun on the second day of February, 2007 when it was announced by Brett Favre that he would return to play as the Packers star quarterback for the upcoming 2007 NFL football season. This announcement was made amidst much speculation that Favre would possibly retire at the time. This was great news for Packer fans around the world.

After the 2007 NFL season came to a close the Green Bay Packers finished with a regular season record of 13 wins and 3 losses. The team then went on to defeat the Seattle Seahawks with a victory score of 42 to 20 in the NFC divisional playoffs. This was followed by an unfortunate loss to the New York Giants in the NFC Conference playoffs with a score of 23 to 20. Favre was selected to play in his 9th Pro Bowl at the end of the 2007 season.

At the end of the 2007 season on March the 4th, 2008 Brett announced that he would indeed retire from playing professional football. This was understood and accepted as the star quarterback had played for 17 season's in the National Football League. All was well and there were plans now set to hold an official ceremony during the opening game of the 2008 season at which time Brett Favre's jersey number 4 would be retired by the Green Bay Packers as well.

Then in early July of 2008 it became news that Brett Favre wants to return to play professional football once again! This was taken as very happy news by all Packer fans and was quite exciting to think about. Then the rumors began as to how the Packers general manager Ted Thompson would let Favre come back, but only as a second string quarterback, and that the starting position was already filled by Aaron Rodgers a 2005 first round draft choice by the Packers. This particular decision is found to be highly questionable, if not totally absurd by all who follow the sport of professional football.

Within a few days and many various rumors flying around the media, it was announced that Favre had asked for an unconditional release from Green Bay so that he could play professional football with another NFL franchise team.

The Packers had already made commitments to moving on with the plans for the team having an essentially brand new quarterback, with no real NFL experience at all. There was overall commitment by all parties to the decision of retirement. All along though there were several hints by Favre that he really was not ready to retire and he seemed to be somewhat indecisive and unsure of his true commitment to the decision of retirement. In other words, he was having second thoughts.

Since the Packers claim to be committed to moving on with Aaron Rodgers, then Favre is simply going to have to petition the NFL commission to be reinstated into the NFL. This way he will be able to be traded or released by the Packers so that he can sign on with another NFL team. As a result there has become many NFL teams who want the star quarterback. This is understandable and all are very interested in having him join their franchise.

The bottom line is that the only logical place for Brett Favre to play in the NFL is with the Green Bay Packers with jersey number 4. Favre should be the starting quarterback and the packers should then continue with the momentum they had started with last seasons 13 and 3 regular season record. How could it be any other way? This is the Brett Favre saga as of July 21, 2008.
