    Most great athletes never want to give it up until its too late. It's all they know.

    I honestly don't have a problem with them sticking around too long... it's not my life, and they won't be remembered for it. I'm a Steeler fan, and no one remembers Franco Harris in a Seahawks uniform... no one remembers Michael Jordan as a Wizard, etc.... I don't really think sticking around too long ruins their legacy.

    But for Favre, what bothers me is he had this press conference to retire, and now is dicking around trying to make the packers out to be the bad guys, etc... if you weren't 100% sure you were done, don't announce your retirement.

    IMO that press conference in March was him saying good bye to GB not to the game of football.

    I guess that's where we are different. I remember Jordan bumbling around in DC. I remember Rice dropping passes as a Raider. I remember Wade Boggs celebrating his 3,000th hit as a D Ray.

    I guess I'm a dinosaur when it comes to sport and still miss the traditions and loyalty that used to exist.
