For the past two off-seasons, you’ve had your string pulled up and down with Brett Favre playing it like a yo-yo. You’ve had to play the waiting game with Brett. The speculation for a number of years was that he was going to retire. The announcements, such as in 2006, came later than most would have hoped. Last year, the wait wasn’t as long and we all know what happened this off-season. Brett Favre retired, or will he? All of this retirement talk has me recollecting to the days when I rooted for a Hall of Famer for my favorite NFL team, Barry Sanders of the Detroit Lions. If you’ll recall, it was nine years ago that Sanders sent a newspaper in Wichita, Kansas, his hometown, a fax stating he was retiring. chippewa.com 7/4/08
