I don’t really give a shit about anything football related unless it has to do with the 49ers, but the current sitch in Green Bay has grabbed my attention due to the fact that Packers QB and Brett Favre’s heir apparent Aaron Rodgers is a local yokel and a damn nice guy to boot. Apparently though things are about to come to a head, as Brett Favre suddenly got butt hurt today and fucked off, hopefully for good:

The bond between Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers appears to be broken beyond repair. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday evening that after approximately six hours of what he called “brutally honest” conversations with Favre over the past two days, the three-time MVP just isn’t in the right mind-set to be part of the team.

Even with the chance to win his starting job back potentially on the table, McCarthy said Favre couldn’t seem to get past emotional wounds that were opened as tensions mounted in recent weeks.

“The football team’s moving forward,” McCarthy said. “The train has left the station, whatever analogy you want. He needs to jump on the train and let’s go. Or, if we can’t get past things that have happened, I have to keep the train moving.”

Green Bay Packer Brett Favre is considering coming out of “retirement.” Apparently, he’s got the “itch” to play, and he’s talked to coach McCarthy about showing up at training camp.

Utterly ridiculous. First off, you don’t get to come out of retirement if you never actually missed playing time. Yeah, Favre had a retirement press conference, but there haven’t been any games to miss. He wouldn’t be returning, because he never really left in the first place.

Secondly, what the hell are the Packers thinking to have him back? It’s time to move on. Go with Aaron Rodgers. If he sucks, give Favre a call. But this is a giant distraction just waiting to happen. Frankly, I feel bad for Rodgers either way. He’s got to have a shot sometime, right? Fuck. Just when you think a guy might actually ride off into the sunset with a teary-eyed goodbye, he’s got to go and grandstand.
