As a Packer fan, I’m (surprisingly) somewhere around ‘Who cares, Favre’?
The fated day has arrived.
Brett Favre’s latest retirement lasted all of three weeks.
The three-time MVP has done about-face for the second time in as many years and will play for the Vikings this season.
Rolling around as I am on the west coast, I can’t quite write as much as I could, although the world of football writing has no doubt already seen enough Favre-babble to last for eons. For now, I’ll just say that I grew up with the man starting the games I attended 8 times a year–age 12-28–and right now, I only feel a strange detachment and indifference, combined with a vaguely numb curiosity of watching him run out onto the field at Lambeau dressed in his purples. Maybe it’s reading an article about a dude showing up to an Obama speech with an assault rifle, maybe it’s being cowed by the miraculous beauty of Oregon. Maybe it’s being very high on Aaron Rodgers? I’m not sure, but Woodson said it best: I don’t care.
