All the coverage on television and sports talk radio on a possible return to football for Brett Favre makes me want to vomit. Is there anyone still out there (outside of Green Bay) that gives two shits and a fuck if this guy comes back anymore? I think I can safely say that America, as a whole, respects what Brett Favre has meant to football and his accomplishments in football but are sick and tired of seeing and hearing of his retired ass.
So here's what I purpose, Mr. Goodell. The Brett Favre Rule, aimed specifically to deter players in the future from doing what Brett Favre is doing right now. Yes, I am a genius.
The Brett Favre Rule:
1) Any player that announces his retirement is automatically ineligible to play in the upcoming season and postseason. There, no second guessing three months after you said you were done forever. This part of the rule is designed to make the player actually think about making the decision to retire. You better be damn sure you're done before you say you are. Thinking about something before doing it...Novel idea, I know.
2) If a player decides to unretire, he must make his intention known by April 1st. This is, of course, after being retired for one full season. Why April 1st? For one, it's an entire month before the NFL Draft. This gives teams ample time to figure out their draft plans. Would a team waste a pick on a QB in the draft knowing they'd be getting their veteran QB back from retirement? No, of course not, which is why imposing a deadline would allow teams to plan for such instances. It also prevents players showing up halfway through training camps. If you're coming back, then you're coming back fully committed.
3) You are allowed one comeback. No multiple comebacks. Period. You're lucky you're getting one.
All in favor say 'I'. I!
Unanimous. Rule instated.

Rule 3 has gotta be the Vinny Testaverde rule, not the Brett Favre rule.
I agree that Favre is being a douche, but I think this is really funny that Aaron Rodgers can't get a break. Take a look at his history:
-The only D1 offer he had was a walk-on spot at Illinois.
-After transferring to Cal from a Ju-Co, was not named the starter until the 5th game of the 2003 season.
-On draft day, he was expected to go early, but slipped to number 24 and spent the whole day waiting in the green room.
-Spent 3 years riding the bench behind the guy who set the record for most consecutive games started.
He's been waiting is WHOLE career and now he's been named the starter. If Favre comes back next season, it must be with the Packers, unless they release/trade him. If he does return, I don't blame Rodgers for poisoning him.
Haha, I have no idea where you got those stats about Rodgers, but those are awesome.
Poor Mr. Rodgers...
