The Old Man Retires and the World Cries...

So... year after year Brett left everyone in 'limbo' for days as he debated whether he was going to retire or not. And every year... low and behold he's still gonna play!

Finally a year I heard very little excitement or anticipation about 'omg, is brett going to retire'... all of sudden he is retiring! What happened Brett? Did you not get enough media attention and you had to do something that would make a bigger splash than Randy Moss, the Cowboys and all the draft moves?

But in truth, I think it was smart for Brett. He's looking out for #1 and rather than die off in the next few years with a declining performance, go out while ahead! Not sure it's the best thing to happen for the Packers, but that's not his problem. And for the rest of us non-packers fans, it reduces the threat the GB posed. One less team I have to worry about.
Great personal career... it's too bad you refused to train your back-up quarterback. Now what will your beloved team do?
