The Brett Favre Saga: Episode II

At first, I just thought the NFL nation was running out of topics so they brought the Favre saga again with the fact that the Jets had released him. Then they said he asked for that release twice, and that he had hired a personal trainer. Later came reports of a misterious plane going from Mississippi to Minnessota or something like that, but even at that point I just thought it was the media exagerating.

Here's what New York Daily News said today:

One NFL source insists Brett Favre can't peacefully retire until he finds a way to get revenge on the Packers. He wants back into the NFC North so he can face the Packers twice. The Bears traded for Jay Cutler and the Lions drafted Matthew Stafford. Hello, Minnesota. "Favre can't stand Green Bay," the source said. "He wants to play Green Bay and say, 'I told you so.' His bitterness is creating this. I think he's calling Minnesota. I think Minnesota is talking about this as we speak. You haven't heard the end of Favre. No way. He is bionic. As long as somebody will let him in, he will play."

Now I'm starting to think it could happen again, as it happened last year...If he wants, he'll come back and the media is not going to stop. I can remember last year all the Peter Kings and Pete Priscos talking about him and him and HIM, ALL DAY LONG. It was boring and frustrating, and now he has opened that door, again; and unless tomorrow is Thursday, September 10, the media is not going to shut up.

I also think the Lions could consider him, he could mentor Matt Stafford this year (better than he did with Kellen Clemens, I hope)...but they already have Daunte Culpepper and I'm not sure they'd like to bring that headache to town. Yes, that's what he has become: a HEADACHE! Not as big as a "T.O. headache", but he's old, takes a lot of risks (resulting in turnovers) and brings a lot of media attention to town, specially if you're going to play the Packers twice.

So, as we're approaching to the second episode of this saga, I'd like to hear your opinion.

Oh, and if you're asking what does this have to do with the Colts, just remember who's got all the career passing records...
