Favre Doesn't Know

Last Saturday morning, our family gathered in front of the tv set to watch Brett Favre's news conference. Will the aging warrior retire, or come back with the Pack for one last hurrah?

His announcment -- "I don't know."

Now that was disappointing for all of us. We were hyped up for something big -- and ended up with an "I don't know."

In some ways, his indecision was a bigger letdown than if he had just announced his farewell.

Sort of reminds me of the story about the pet turtle who died. The kids handcrafted a little turtle coffin, plucked a bouquet of wild flowers, wrote a beautiful eulogy, and dug a grave.

Then, as they were marching slowly in funeral procession, the turtle moved! He wasn't dead after all! He was alive!

"What do we do now?" the oldest child asked.
The youngest replied, "Kill the turtle!"

If we don't kill the turtle, and Favre comes back, at least he will have a chance to break a few records. For instance, only 25 more interceptions and he will pass George Blanda as the all time career leader.
