He’s the NFL’s only 3 time MVP, he’s thrown for more yards and more touchdowns than any quarterback in NFL history and he won the Packers their only Super Bowl in the past 40 years. If Brett Farve says he wants to come back you let him. Nobody has earned the right more than Farve. Remember, it was only last year he took his team to an overtime game to decide yet another Super Bowl appearance.

Do you honestly think that if John Elway after his tearful goodbye would have been turned away if he said, “I want to come back one more time.” Can you imagine Mike Shanahan saying “Well, John, we’ve been prepping Brian Greise for the past four months and it wouldn’t be fair to him mentally for you to step in.” I don’t think so and history has shown us what became of the great Bronco’s when their best rider retired.

Aaron Rodgers is simply a wild card. Last year he had a couple of moments in a loss to Dallas but the Packers want to put that up against arguably the best quarterback to ever play the game. What are they… Cheese Heads?

Apparently they are because it’s being reported that instead of thanking the gods that Brett still wants to play, Green Bay ownership is just trying to talk the old man into staying at home in his wheelchair minding his garden. Oh Brett, surely you don’t want to play another year when during your retirement announcement in March you were fine physically.

If I were Brett Farve it would be easy for me to say goodbye to the Packers now. I would ask for my release and then immediately step into the starting job in Minnesota. I would promptly route the Packers twice in this upcoming season on my way to another Super Bowl victory with the best defense, best offensive line and best running back in football.

Who really cares if Brett is a Packer at this point. Joe Montana finished as a Chief, and Johnny Unitas was a Charger, Joe Namath a Ram, OJ. Simpson a 49er, Emmitt Smith a Cardinal and yes, even Chicago Bears Super Bowl quarterback, Jim McMahon, finished his career winning a Super Bowl with the Packers.

We deserve another year of Brett Farve; he doesn’t want to end his career with a ‘what if’ and who could blame him. If the Green Bay Packers are so full of themselves that they can’t look a gift horse in the mouth then they deserve their fate of losing for another 40 years.

Meanwhile, we fans deserve to see the Greatest go out on top with the Vikings and, frankly, I can’t wait to see Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson both fired in three years… being pelted with cheese balls as they are run out of town after making the cheesiest move in NFL history. I’ll end with two predictions:

Vikings 35 Patriots 31 - 2009 Super Bowl MVP Brett Farve
