To Return Or Not To Return?

By Cheval John

It seems as if everyone is so fascinated with whether Brett Favre is going to make a return to the National Football League (NFL).

According to a report by Gabe Zaldivar of the Bleacher Reporter, Favre’s agent Bus Cook commented that the future Hall-of-Famer can make a comeback to the NFL.

Favre, who retired officially three years ago, seems like a person who loves the limelight.

Cook says that he is not trying to start any rumors about Favre’s possible return.

Really? And I’m not trying to say that pigs can fly.

Could it be that Mr. Favre, who also does the Wrangler Jeans commercials, is a little envious of the attention that Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is receiving after he dissected the Oakland Raiders on Monday Night Football?

Or is it the fact that Manning became the first quarterback to throw for an NFL-record 12 scores and no interceptions by week 3 and has the possibility to break Favre’s career touchdown record?

I don’t know.

But the only thing I can say is that I don’t want a guy, who purposely held the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings hostage, to make a return to the NFL.

Mr. Cook’s announcement shows that Favre is willing to step over people to bring attention to himself.

If it was anyone else, you would hear an outcry on how selfish they are to get their agent to put out a report in the middle of one of the greatest accomplishments by Manning.

I understand that he is a future Hall-of-Famer and has passed for over 70,000 yards, 500 touchdowns, won a SuperBowl and is considered the “Iron Man” because of his consecutive games played.

Because it was Favre, he gets a pass and that will encourage him to continue doing what he does best:Grabbing as much attention as he can possibly get.

Like if you agree with this commentary. Comment if you disagree.
