Not Favre Again

I promised myself I was done writing about Brett Favre. I promised, I interpersonally pleaded and I swore that his name would NOT resurface in my blog. I hate to say it, folks, I've let us all down.
The simple fact of the matter is that the man will not disappear. He refuses. He has damn near boycotted the idea of retirement, and even when an easement appeared eminent, he jumped right back on the annoying nerve.
Don't let me discount the overwhelming role that the Green Bay organization is playing in my aesthetic discomfort of watching my once daily SportsCenter. The Packers refuse to do anything but escalate the situation. I wish that cheeseheads would just take the lesser of two evils and promise Favre his starting position back, after all, would it be so bad to be Super Bowl contenders again? The organization cannot honestly think that Aaron Rodgers gives them a better chance to win than Favre, can it?
Let us not forget that two years prior, as was stated in a comment on my last Favre blog, he threw more interceptions than touchdowns and was a key entity in the abysmal record that the postseason-less Packers suffered. My oh my the short memory of the loyal followers in Green Bay.
Regardless, I will backtrack. The Packers refusal to release Favre, and his apparent refusal to be placed on the trade block has led to a brutal stalemate that is not only ruining a man's overblown legacy, but it is also wearing on the patience of the NFL community.
Roger Goodell has kept his distance, but has started to give his input stating that he would like to see a quick resolution to the ordeal in 'Sconsin. Even sportswriters are starting to get weary of the shenanigans. Peter King, NFL writer for Sports Illustrated, was recently grilled for five minutes on Pardon the Interruption about the fallout from the Packers tumultuous offseason. He was almost laughing about the prospects of the Favre deliberations continuing into the preseason camps and even to the regular season. Every bit of breaking news about Favre has been preceeded by a long sigh and intonation inferring that the reporter is thinking 'Not this again!'
And then there is the common viewer. I, like many, am interested in the other stories in the sports world such as, there is other news, the resurgence of the New York Yankees in the pennant race; the pennant race in general; the Redeem Team (the 2008 version of the U.S. Dream Team); Michael Phelps and his quest for legendary glory or perhaps even the emergence of Usain Bolt in the world track and field scene. But no, I am stuck with repeat performances of the ugly situation in the last state in the U.S. that I would even consider visiting.
As a sports guru I realize why the coverage must go on, but I refuse to condone it. I just hope that when I get my first assignment as a professional that it doesn't have anything to do with the Green Bay Packers or the current status of Favre's bipolar disorder.
