Did anyone listen to the farewell to Favre on The Fan 960 this morning, around 9:30'ish? GOLD!! I'm still laughing.

As for Favre, not trying to come down on the guy, but I just have to pose this question. Last week Favre said that his decision to come back next year depended on what the Packers did in UFA(which IMO was pretty bush. He's got a great WR core, solid run game, top 5 D, and even arguably the best P and K in the game. He's on a Super Bowl contender, why pull this "ransom" crap?). He also said for the 2nd year in a row that he really wants Randy Moss. Yesterday Moss signs with the Patriots. Today Favre retires. Coincidence?

I'm not saying this is for sure why he retired, but its certainly curious timing, considering his remarks last week. I'd really hope a legend such as him wouldn't retire over something so petty.
