Retired (Adjective) Withdrawn from or no longer occupied with one's business or profession.For those who don't follow such things, the big news in the sports world over the weekend was the drama and controversy surrounding Brett Favre, the legendary former quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. Favre retired at the end of the season, after allowing Fetal Manning to cornhole him in the playoffs, only to decide last week that he didn't want to stay retired anymore. As it turns out, however, the Green Bay Packes don't want him back, since -- you know -- he's
only the best goddamn thing to ever happen to the team and even a bag of Favre's old bones would probably play better than their other option, Aaron "Brittle" Rodgers, whose arms break if the water pressure is too high in the showers.
Over the last few days, Favre has pleaded, threatened, whined, and wept, trying to work his way back into a starting position. Yesterday, a new and dramatic development took place in Lambeau Field parking lot, where a whopping
one hundred (100) people attended a rally trying to pressure the Packer front office to take Favre back.
Wow. A 100 whole people, huh? You know, five years ago, a constipated Favre could've gotten 100 people to show up for a bowel movement, cheering his stool free. Hell, Bible-preaching hobos in town square can command more than 100 people. I've seen briss that were bettere attended than the Favre rally.
How does that pressure feel, Packer front office? I bet they're terrified. If those 100 people decided to give up their season tickets, the waiting list would only be 56,900 people long! That'd cut the 30 year queue down almost seven days!
Take the hint, Brett. Go in peace. Keep your dignity, brother.
He needs to come to the Jets. We wear green too, so he won't feel THAT out of place.
