Fleeing Thoughts: The Indecisive and the Macho

-Favre returns. Like an old lady in a diner who can't make up her mind on what to have for dinner and then orders the meatloaf only to change her mind 5 minutes later to a grilled cheese sandwich, the Old Man of Mississippi has come back to cast his shadow of indecision over the Packers organization. While Packer management has said "they will turn this situation to their advantage," they don't exactly sound overly enthusiastic about the return of a player, albeit a future hall of famer, who has waffled about retirement in the past and said when retiring in March that he was "mentally tired." Favre also said that he wouldn't return unless he could be fairly assured of winning a Super Bowl. How does one know this far in advance that a team will win a Super Bowl? Has that much changed with the Packers since they lost in the playoffs in January? Or is Favre hoping to be traded to a team with better prospects? A truly class act would stay retired and allow the Packers to move on with their future.

Yeah, I know what your saying, Michael Jordan didn't stay retired. But when he un-retired the first time, he helped the Bulls to another three championships for a total of six, and may have won more had he not been run out of town by the Dynamic Duo of Dumbness, Jerry Reinsdorf and Jerry Krause. For those who are counting, Brett Favre has delivered a total of one championship to Green Bay, and I don't see another in his future.

-Is anyone out there as tired of the Ozzie Guillen Rant 'n Rave show as I am? Thank goodness for newspapers and their beat reporters ability to interpret Ozzie, because when they show his post-game rants on TV, I don't understand a word coming out of Guillen's mouth. After a bench clearing brawl Sunday sparked by a hit Royals batmen, Guillen warned that they play Kansas City often, and that the Royals are "playing with fire." I just love it when Ozzie is so muy macho. Seriously, Guillen is signed through 2012, but it's going to seem like a century.
