Favre retires for the seventeenth time

Well, he has promised to retire seventeen times, anyway. This time, folks, he really means it. Stick a fork in him, he's done!

There was a comment on this article which is just too good not to point out. In this paragraph:

“I remember the same question, the first part of the year, everyone said, ‘Well, ….’ I said, ‘Time will tell,’ but like I said, I’m done,” Favre said via the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “I’d love to, as I said when I came back I’m here to win a Super Bowl, we had big expecations, it hasn’t gone the way we hoped up to this point, but again, my career speaks for itself. I think it’s been a great career. I don’t know how the remaining games will unfold but that’s it.”

When he says "I" or "my" it has a positive spin but he reverts to "we" when he talks about how badly things have gone. (I came here to win a Super Bowl. It hasn't gone the way we hoped.)

No one cares, Brett Wolfcry. (That's his Native American name. I just made it up.) Go home.
