Pay Favre not to play, that burns my butt

Wow.
No offense, but I don't believe you. If Oakland was in the talks you might still complain about his decisions, but you'd like the results..
Farve would instantly make at least 1/2 the teams in the league better. The raiders one of them.

Mike Golic had a great rant a while back (not about Farve) about someone else flip-flopping on retiring, and his point was, who has the right to tell an athlete they can't compete anymore, just because a fan felt it would tarnish their rep or memories of said player. There are few Tiki Barbers or Barry sanders out there who leave in their prime, and while I would have preferred to have seen Farve not retire and unretire, I admire his drive to keep playing... I prefer seeing a player you have to drag off the field. If it was all about just money he'd have taken the deal. I think he just wants to play..

FWIW, I'm an Eagles fan, not a packers fan...

One Word ......."Merchandising"

whatever team ends up with him will probably make some coin on his name.
