Favre rumors get the media vultures swarming
The media has been having a “hay-day” with the possibility of Favre coming out of retirement. They’re acting like it’s some big surprise Favre is getting the “itch” to play. That’s like saying water is wet, and leads me to believe they are really hard up for some material to write about. As far as Brett actually coming out of retirement, it’s pure speculation, at best. Up to this point, Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy haven’t commented on the issue, since they’re both on vacation. And Favre? He says it’s just a rumor, but still, the media keeps swarming.
The media needs to lay off Favre, and more importantly, lay off Aaron Rodgers. I totally back Rodgers on his comments in the Sports Illustrated article where he says, “Fans need to get on board now or keep their mouths shut. ” Favre has retired, it’s now the Aaron Rodgers era. Even if Favre were to come back, he’s done in Green Bay. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Favre fan, but Brett, the fans, and the Packer organization have gone through the emotional heartbreak of his retirement, and it’s time for everyone to move on….including the media.
