Before I get into music related topics, I have to say that I’m glad to hear that Brett Favre will be returning for another season. That being said, I am upset that his decision couldn’t have come sooner, but at least he did it before the NFL Draft this weekend (barely).

My favorite Farve commentary
From The Onion a couple weeks ago…
Packers To Favre: ‘Take Your Time, Asshole’
April 13, 2006 | Onion Sports
ASHWAUBENON, WI—Green Bay Packers front-office officials have informed three-time MVP Brett Favre they can wait for his decision on whether or not he’s planning to retire for “as long as it fucking takes.” “This is a big decision for Brett Favre, and we can’t deny that he’s the heart and soul of our team, the most important Packer, the most important person in all of America, and the center of the whole entire universe,” Packer general manager Ted Thompson said Tuesday. “It’s not like we have to make any major decisions that all hinge on whether or not he’s returning, after all. We’ll just ride around on our lawn tractors on our farm in Mississippi while we wait for him to make up his goddamn mind.” Favre would not say when he might announce his decision, admitting that he was “too much in awe of what Mr. Brilliant Genius Thompson did with the 4-12 Packers last year” to commit one way or the other.
