#4

While I am enjoying a 12oz blue raspberry Slush Puppie slurpie after a few intense hours of outdoor work, I will talk about the saga of #4, Brett Favre.

Brett Favre is a household name in America, one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. He garnered fans not only in Packer Wisconsin, but in all the states. I remember as a kid, I knew kids who were just fans of Favre because he was just that good. The man was a demigod, an epic figure of greatness.

After the Packers were defeated last season in the playoffs by the juggernaut New York Giants, Favre was set to retire for the second time, the last time. The Packers were about to move on too, with backup Aaron Rodgers set to take over full time QB duty. And so, Brett Favre was retired for good and people missed him a lot. Even cornfields were designed for him.

Then the drama. Brett Favre suddenly wanted to play again, complicating things for everyone. The Packers even wanted to pay him $20 million just to go home. When all was said and done, Favre is now playing for the New York Jets. As a Jets fan, this appears to be exciting news. Though Chad Pennington is likely gone and Kellen Clemens is likely backup, we have a contender playing for us. I honestly never saw this coming.
