WTMJ-TV Channel 4 in Milwaukee is reporting that the Green Bay Packers offered Brett Favre $20 million paid out over the next 10 years to stay retired. Could they know something that the rest of us don’t? I think most people believed that the reason Brett Favre wanted to un-retire and come back and play quarterback in the NFL was because he still had the burning desire to compete.

What if he just needs the money?

It seems to me that if a guy just wants to play, offering him money to sit at home and watch Judge Judy would be a complete waste of time. With that said, the Green Bay Packers thought it was worth making the offer.

I would think with all of the commercial endorsements Brett Favre does, money wouldn’t be a problem. Unless of course being the pitchman for heartburn medication and blue jeans sold at Wal-Mart doesn’t pay a lot.

How funny would it be if the rumors were true and Brett Favre was the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings the night they retire his number?

Comedy gold!

It looks as though the all-time leader in interceptions thrown has second thoughts about being retired.  Perhaps he found out that nowhere else other then in the training rooms of the NFL do they hand out Vicodin pills like Pez candy. The four letter network is reporting that Favre sent a letter via overnight mail to the Green Bay Packers asking for his unconditional contractual release.

The hilarity that will ensue as a result of this is mind boggling.  If Favre were to sign with the Minnesota Vikings or the Chicago Bears, fat guys all across Wisconsin that wear a big chunk of foam rubber cheese on their head and name their first born son “Lombardi” will likely have strokes.

You’d think that after their performances last year, either Ellie May Manning or perhaps Adrian Peterson would grace the cover of Madden 09. No, that would actually make sense. That would also be forgetting the amount of man-love John Madden has for recovering Vicodin addict and former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre.

Who cares if Favre already retired from the NFL?

It’s not like people spend a lot of time staring at the game’s cover. There’s also websites one can go to where you can make your own covers. All you have to do is upload your own photo and the website spits out a custom cover.

Frankly, I’m surprised John Madden is even still connected to this video game franchise. I used to play Madden Football back in 1991 on the Tandy. This is back when normal people didn’t own computers. Good times!

It’s not like he is the one actually writing the code for the game. There is just something funny about an 126-year old man being the front man to a video game. I’m not saying John Madden is old (yes I am), but when he first began playing football, instead of a ball, they used a severed human head.

Personally, I’m waiting for them to release Andy Rooney Baseball. Maybe Rooney’s not old enough yet to be the pitchman for a video sports game.
