This is the NFL off-season right?  It is amazing that the off-season of the NFL dominates the headlines more than other sports regular season.  We have seen the NFL Draft, free agency, the debate over rookie contracts, defensive ends Dancing with the Stars and now the biggest dance of them all, the Brett Favre retirement tease.  Just when you thought you would see your first season without #4 in Green Bay, it sounds as if we may be seeing Favre play again this fall... but will it be back in Green Bay?

     "He has the itch...," mentioned Al Harris, a guest host on ESPN's NFL Live this Wednesday, when asked about Brett Favre's potential comeback. He went on to say about Aaron Rodgers, "We embrace Aaron. We support Aaron. Aaron is our quarterback. Brett is retired, but if he wants to come back, there will be some guys that wouldn't mind it." Chris Mortensen of ESPN also reported that Favre had made Head Coach McCarthy aware of his "itch" to play. "Mort" also reported that a source in Green Bay made him aware that Favre's family is pushing him to return. Personally, I don't think he's going to return, but I'd be lying if I told you it wouldn't make me happy to see him back. I just don't believe it benefits Green Bay in the long run.

It is time to say goodbye to everyone's favorite fun-lovin', gun-slingin', Wrangler wearin', 5'o clock shadow-havin', burger eatin', just another regular guy like you or me (except for the money, rugged good looks, and talent) quarterback. The announcement came early Monday morning around 7:30am Eastern Time: Brett Favre is officially retiring... probably.
