No Favre, no way

It's now being reported that Brett Favre has told the Minnesota Vikings that he will not play next season, after days of speculation that it was all but a foregone conclusion Favre was headed out of retirement and to the Vikes.

Thank god.

Now I'm not quite naive enough to think that's the final word. Good ol' boy has been nothing if not a flip-flopper. 

But I don't get these Bears fans who puff out their chests and say, "Bring on Brett." The man made a career out of just destroying, humiliating, the Bears. We just got him out of the division. And now you want him back?

No thank you. I want no part of Brett Lorenzo Favre in the NFC. If he wants to go screw around out West somewhere, by all means. Be my guest. But if there's a number 4 slinging it around for Minnesota next season, I sure as hell hope it's John David Booty and not Favre. 

And Bear fans would be wise to hope the same.
