To be or not to be; Why do we care again?

Favre this. Favre that. Is anyone else tired of hearing about this? I mean, it seems that Brett has been claimed to be more of a hero now than he ever was when he was playing. 

Today, a half-an-hour long press conference with Packers head coach Mike McCarthy had begun and ended with the same topic. Brett Favre. Its hard to believe that a room full professional journalists had turned to the same questions that McCarthy had endured only a week before from a class of kindergartners. But alas, it was. And kudos, to McCarthy for holding his own and finally stating that Aaron Rodgers IS, yes IS, the Pack's starting QB. It seems as though even legendary status isn't enough to secure you a roster on the team you played with for 16 seasons.

I could ramble on senselessly about what will happen to Favre, but then im afraid i'd turn into a literary version of the NFL network's endless coverage of the situation. 

Most people have an opinion that they should just let Favre come back and take them to the superbowl they missed last year. Others believed that his mistake cost him his job. But I think now most people are coming around to the in-between. Let Favre come back, and fight for his job. Clearly the packers have chosen a different path, no matter if the fans or their famed QB think.
