Being from Green Bay, I like to keep tabs on my favorite quarterback. I was very surprised to come across the news that Brett Favre is retiring. Again. I have to admit, I hope he stays retired this time.

“Mike and Woody, as well as the entire organization, have been nothing short of outstanding,” Favre said in the e-mail. “My teammates — Thomas and Kerry included — were a pleasure to play with. Eric [Mangini] could not have been any better. I enjoyed playing for him. My time with the Jets was short, but I’m honored to be given that chance.”
