“I’ve spent all my retirement equivocating at various podia”

[But Favre conceded he might have a tough decision to make if, say, Green Bay called and asked him to come back because of team injuries.

"It would be hard to pass up, I guess," he said. " . . . It's only speculating. I think the world of that team. I had a lot of fun, not only this year, but over my career. Those guys I played with this past year, a lot of young guys, a lot of fun."]

Tramonto: First we must agree on terms.

Peter King: Name your price.

Tramonto: $25,000 Starbucks gift card.

Tramonto: It is done.

Following up on today’s earlier Favre-as-Barbaro post, 289 has crafted this photoshop of the ol’ Gunslinger. What a beautiful, innocent animal. He’s like the child in all of us. I look forward to Favraro spending his retirement helping a giant ogre rescue Princess Fiona and learning to appreciate the value of friendship.

Reader DaveR suggest changing Brettbaro to Favraro. Agreed.
