Is This It?

Is This It?



Standing on the 20-yard line at Soldier Field after taking a photo with his offensive linemen, Favre got choked up during a TV interview, saying he would decide 'soon' whether he would retire or return next season...

The eight-fecta that had to happen for the Pack to make the playoffs didn't happen. But 8-8 is only half as bad as last year's 4-12. Despite the official "meaningless" situation, Chicago was playing to win last night (though it was hard to notice). Sending Da Bears into the playoffs demoralized is a good way to end the season.

Favre has always said he won't come back just for stats, but one more season would about guarantee him several career records:

Favre is only seven touchdown passes shy of breaking Dan Marino's career mark of 420. With the Packers' victory, Favre tied Marino for No. 2 in career victories (147) and is only one away from tying John Elway for the record.

If he plays like he did last night he still has a lot to contribute. But he doesn't owe anyone anything. And I've lived to see my team win The Big Game (which is more than any Vikings fan can say). Thanks, Brett, and good luck with the surgery today.

Bears 26, Pack 0. Ouch.

"'Yeah, give them credit,' Favre said. '(But) maybe we just ain't very good.'"

First shitout - I meant to say "shutout" but the typo was better - since Don Majkowski was quarterback.

After four months of deliberation, the quarterback has told the team he plans to play this season, according to ESPN. The network reported late Tuesday night that Favre informed General Manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy of his decision earlier that day...

Favre: No News Is... No News.

"There was widespread speculation that, finally, that time had arrived. Favre called a news conference, as he does every year, at the site of his golf tournament - this year, at a casino in the Mississippi Delta some 400 miles across the state from his hometown of Kiln. A spokeswoman for his family said a 'scoop' was expected.

Instead, Favre spent about 15 minutes discussing his indecision - and his golf game.

'The fact that we're sitting here today at this press conference, to me, is a joke because I don't have anything to tell you,' Favre said. 'Somebody assumed that I would.'"

Brett, I love ya man. You've given me more years of vicarious happiness than any sports fan deserves. I want you to do what's best for you, Deanna, and the kids. You don't owe me anything.

But damn, this morning was frustrating.

Maybe you want to wait till after the draft to make a real announcement. But please, clue the team in. It's a great draft pick, and a huge decision, and they need to know which way to go.

P.S. Enjoy the golf.
