And so ends -- let's hope and pray -- the most maddening, confounding and embarrassing run of flip-flopping and wishy-washiness from a Hall of Fame athlete since ... since ... I can't remember when. Brett Favre now has retired, unretired, retired, expressed great interest in unretiring and finally, on Tuesday, two days before the start of Minnesota Vikings training camp, decided to stay retired.Until, I don't know, either tomorrow or next week or next month, when the itch returns and he plants a story through his agent that he might have interest in helping, oh, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
