Brett Favre has retired, officially. I, as did much of America, liked his perseverance and personality. There has been much speculation over the last couple of years when he will retire, and it looks like this is the year. I am glad he had a good 2007 season, especially when compared to the previous season. I am glad he holds a number of records, and I hope he gets to keep most of them for a while.
But one thing I ask: please stay retired! Do not come back to football as a player. Do not pull a Michael Jordan. Do consider the retirement attitude of Sandy Koufax. Take up a hobby or a different job – golfing, running a charity, being a play-by-play or color commentator, mentoring children, etc. There are so many things you could do. You’ve had a nice run, but give someone else a chance to be the Packers’ quarterback. Try something other than being a quarterback. I know that has been all you’ve ever known or done, but expand your horizons.
“Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men”
