Un-Retire!?!?!?

Favre wants to play again! I have mixed feelings on this one. Let me start by saying that I LOVE Brett Favre!! I am a Packer fan, my dad has season tickets and is from Green Bay. Favre is amazing, and a great quarterback too.
He wants to come back now and play... that's annoying. I haven't liked it the past several years, how he's wained all off season and I don't like this move right now. I have no idea what it's like to give up being a professional athlete and will never claim to. I'm sure it's incredibly tough, especially when you are amazing at it (forget about the money piece, I know that's weird to hear from me). But, the indecision has driven me crazy and this last "Michael Jordan" like move is the icing on the cake of the career decision delimma Brett has forced us to stand by and watch. Bad move here Brett, you're really annoying... but I still LOVE you!! (Ha! That's actually what my wife says to me several times a week)
Now having said that Brett is annoying, Ted Thompson... you are an idiot!! I've already said how I feel about Brett's move and that's over. Ted, your job is to put the Packers in the best situation to win. Brett vs. this new kid, hmmmm??? Seriously, Ted? You're dodging this decision because it's that tough? Because you're "on vacation"? I'm a teacher and I'm currently on a 2.5 month vacation, but I'll tell ya what... if my school called me with a great opportunity today, I'd call them back. There are two quarterbacks in the NFL that are easily pegged as currently better than Favre and that's Manning (not the adopted one in NY) and Brady. So, Ted, you are gonna put the third best current quarterback (and top 10 of all time) on hold so you can have another Mai-Thai? You're an idiot!!
To summarize:
1. Favre is not doing this the right way, he screwed up here, he wants to come back and it's annoying, but great.
2. a. So he's not doing it the best way. Call him back NOW, Ted. Welcome him back and THANK him for changing his mind. Greet him at Austin Straubel Airport with a sixer of High Life, a fishing pole, and a cup of worms!!
b. If you don't do this, you're an idiot!!
