Throwing passes at his usual summer high school camp, Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre went to extremes to avoid the press earlier today. After the day was over there were a few reporters waiting for Favre by his truck. Not wanting to talk to any of the reporters, Favre recruited a wheel man to jump in his truck and dart to the exit, allowing for a smooth and speedy getaway. This is just another episode on the ongoing ESPN original series, Welcome Back Favre. This season has featured less drama than previous years, as Favre has stayed out of the press for a majority of the summer. It helps that he is under contract with the Vikings so there are no Mississippi rendezvous between Favre and Brad Childress. And after last season with the Vikings, it would take a fool to bet against Favre coming back for another year. I'm no fool. But I'm wishful. Favre will go down as one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game, but enough is enough. Every off season that features this will he or won't he drama is another season that makes Favre, the NFL, and whatever teams are pursuing Favre look foolish. He got his childish revenge on the Packers last year. He may not have won the Super Bowl, but he's done that already. Walk away while you can still do it on your own terms, Brett. Don't wait for your skill to decline to the point where nobody wants you (look at Terrell Owens).Until he realizes that I'll be waiting for him to present at the ESPYs and hopefully give us an answer one way or the other. Let's face it, NFL Live is running out of material.
