Favre

As the Clarion predicted way back in March, Brett Favre just can't give it up.

There are egomaniacs, and then there are egomaniacs, and then there is Brett Favre. Can we get any more sick of this guy? Frankly, we can hardly imagine how that's possible. Hey pal, you won exactly one Super Bowl. One!?! Trent Dilfer has that many to his credit. Brad Johnson, too!

The Clarion hopes the Packers trade Favre to the lowliest team they can, and then go to the playoffs behind Aaron Rodgers (unlikely.) Favre is about to get his chance to be Johnny Unitas in San Diego or Joe Namath with the Los Angeles Rams. What you don't remember those eras? There is a reason.

We acknowledge that it is difficult for all athletes to let go. It must be tremendously disconcerting to have to change careers in your mid-thirties having never done anything else, but, hey Brett, hundreds of other athletes manage to do it every year. And without a running mellow drama, that has more plot twists than a telenovela. And without dragging their franchise's competitive ability and credibility with it.

This is the worst retirement/unretirement saga since Sugar Ray Leonard.
