Brett Favre has a problem. He's got too much drive, too much ambition and has way too much fun. While he should be thinking about the millions of reasons he should retire, he focuses on pea-sized reason on why he should stay. So, as we predicted, the ageless QB came back to the NFL in notorious Favre fashion and wowed the sporting world one more time- for now. The only possible reason for his comeback was that he was worried about his 401k. But in his 19th season, Favre put up possibly the best statistical season of his career at the age of 40 and still looks like he could play well into his 50’s. His last-second miracle wins, 300-yard games, and cannon-shot passes to receivers half his age reminded those around the league why an expiration date should never be put on greatness. However, after taking a much-publicized beating in the NFC Championship game against the Saints, there are again 60 million people wondering if Brett will lace up the cleats for one last season. We’ll all likely have to wait until August to find out, but his recent ankle surgery gives hope that he will come back again, because he still hasn't saved enough money for retirement.
