It's about that time of year again. Summer is winding down, baseball is heating up, soccer season has begun and we are all forced to wonder where Brett Favre is going to end up. We already caught wind of some rumors a few weeks prior, but they were just that. Teammates, namely, Visanthe Schianco, claimed to have gotten texts from Favre saying he was retiring, but Ed Werder, as he normally does, got the real story...well if you insist on calling it that.
It's become a mainstay of our summers dating back several years now, and it's fueled by the media machine. It seems sometimes that the news anchors are getting tired of the stories, even running the risk of mocking their producers. Which begs the question, why do they keep running the story so much if even anchors are tired of it?
Today was kind of ridiculous. ESPN, amidst reports that Favre had landed in Minnesota to head to the team facility, decided to follow his car from the sky, in footage that was eerily similar to the OJ Simpson chase. It's hard not to show some sympathy for the man, because he has gotten his life documented step by step over the past few years. He has though played a somewhat inherent role in the chase however, with his "man that cried retirement" routine.
Signs all point to him announcing his decision one way or the other tomorrow. Early indications are, according to long time friend and Vikings Kicker Ryan Longwell, that he will he returning. We shall find out sooner rather than later, whether we care or not.
