But I am an NFL fan.

And I love great players.

Brett Favre is one of those great players that I truly, truly have enjoyed watching play from DAY 1 at Green Bay. As a Niner fan, I dreaded the thought of a playoff or NFC Championship game at Lambeau against Favre.

Favre is the KING of Lambeau Field in the Winter. Hell, King of Lambeau period.

Now he’s been having second thoughts about retirement, and after his retirement speech earlier this year, who the hell didn’t figure that there was better than a 50/50 chance Brett would change his mind.

Nobody can fault him for that. He addresses that in this interview.

This is a great interview. Brett Favre, as a man, is one of those people you can truly respect. And I mean that.

He also happens to be one of the greatest Quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, no question.

But on June 20th he had a conversation with the Packers, and they said Brett Favre playing for the Packers this year was not an option, but they also said they can’t see him playing for anybody else.

Rock and a hard place.

I don’t give a shit WHO they promised the slot to, and I say this purely as an NFL fan, not as a Niner/Raiders fan because I don’t want my teams to ever have to play Favre at Lambeau again if possible, but I watched him last year and he hasn’t slipped at all. He’s better than 90% of the current starting quarterbacks in the league today, and on any given Sunday, he could probably be the best in the league that day.

So, though it hurts to say this, I’m going to say it anyway:

What the fuck is wrong with the Green Bay Packers? Put the boy back on the roster, because he is probably the best man for the job (at the very least let him compete for the slot), and because the Green Bay Packers OWE Brett Favre a debt they can never repay…

Go Niners. Go Raiders. Go Favre.

Hey…Favre in SF? Nah…it would be sacreligious for him to go to any other NFC team if he did play again, and not in Green Bay.

Shit, we’ll take him in Oakland in a fukn heartbeat.
