Well another deadline has passed yesterday in the on going saga that has lasted for 5 years plus....  Is Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre coming back to play the 2006 NFL season? I'm really seriously sick of this.... When I was covering the Packers for about 5 1/2 years the media was constantly attacking Favre on this same subject...  To me this debate has lasted what seems like a lifetime already....  But I find myself compelled for some reason to write about it now.... Anyway here are the current popular beliefs about the Favre situation:

1. Favre and Packers don't want to tip off draft day competitors to their plan of the 2006 season... (Either way Favre or No Favre)

2. Favre is coming back.  (Some belive Favre has made a decision)

3. Favre is not coming back (Favre has made a decision)

4. Favre is going to coach the Packers.

5. Favre is coming back after he admits spending time on another planet.

6. Favre is going into constrution in the Mississippi area.

7. Favre is going to be the QB for the Minnesota Vikings.

8. Favre is going to join the Military and help free the Iraqi people.

The bottom line is that we all will know at almost the exact same time with the way news of this situation travels in the Wisconsin area... So does it really matter which media outlet breaks this story... Well to them it matters... But to us the people on the outside of the media... It absolutly does not.... I personally believe Favre will come back for lots of personal reasons... If he does come back this season one thing is for sure... less and less people will be focused on the media crying wolf year after year after year after year....

Mildly Annoyed,
