Brett Favre Is Starting the Retirement Pump-Fake Game Really Early This Year

There needs be no explanation of what a horrible person Brett Favre is simply for putting us through the torturous media coverage of last year when he couldn't make up his mind about retiring. Defend him all you want -- that was a total and utter nightmare to live through as a sports fan.

But if you thought it would be any easier this year, you were wrong. Dead wrong.

"There's some throws I personally think I can make, but at times I haven't," Favre said. "I attribute some of that to age. I think . . . the physical that every player goes through after the last game will shed some light on some things."

"This very well could be my last game," Favre said. "I'm aware of that. I'd like to make it a memorable one."

And this "could very well be" my last day at my job, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop everyone that walks by my desk to let them know that. Unfortunately, Favre is an attention junkie, so we all knew this was coming. He's already fashionably destroyed the entire Green Bay fanbase -- Aaron Rodgers' 5-10 season isn't helping matters -- and now it's New York's turn.

Unfortunately, they don't have the history with the gunslinger that the cheeseheads do, and there's a decent chance they just run him out of town when he tries to do the retirement shuffle. We can only hope anyway.
