Brett a Jet No More?

Brett Favre says he's retiring.... AGAIN. Already, everyone is saying this with caution, knowing Favre could change his mind any second. It's really sad to me that a legend such as Favre has fallen into this 'will-he-or-won't-he' game with the league; he's done so much in the game of football, yet he'll be remembered by many as someone who held on too long and just didn't know how to walk away. Michael Jordan did the same thing in basketball, but it was a little different for him. Jordan was the greatest athlete on the planet; more popular than anyone else could hope to be. When he decided to retire and come back multiple times, it brought huge publicity and attention to the NBA. As Favre is seemingly doing the same thing, though, he isn't afforded the same respect and admiration that everyone showed to Jordan. Favre isn't looked at negatively by so many people because of steroids or criminal transgressions, things that have been running rampant through sports recently; he's looked at in such low regard simply because his skills have declined and yet he still can't walk away from a game he loves. In my opinion, someone like Brett Favre deserves more than that.
