Let me give full credit to one Brian Nelson of the "Bob and Brian" Morning Show in Milwaukee for this one. It is a show I have been a part of as their sports guy for 12 years now, and we started talking about what the hell Brett Favre was thinking when he retired back in March. Brian's theory: "He's clinically depressed." That thought sat there, and I agreed with it then, but I never really latched onto it as THE whole thing with this great NFL player and his life right now. Now, I'm all in. The guy is hurting, and he needs help.

Blog: A Not So Thrill Ride: Losing Your A$$ on Six Flags

As a Redskin fan, no matter what stupid ass trades/free agent signings Dan Snyder makes, you always here the phrase that “well, at least he’s a great businessman.” I suppose. He is rich. He does own an NFL team. He makes BANK on it. But other than that, what other business venture has he knocked out of the park since buying the Redskins? Certainly not Six Flags. That stock has gone down faster than Paris Hilton on extasy in front of her boyfriend’s camcorder.

I have a saying about being a sports fan that is useful to remember when times are bad with your particular team. Coaches and players come and go. Owners are ‘til death! Which is to say, you better damn well hope your particular team is owned by somebody with a clue, and a willingness to spend some cash.

The true colors have come out. Brett Favre: Hero. Legend. Iron Man. Diva. And let's throw in "phony" while we are at it. I warned people when I gave Brett the benefit of the doubt at his teary press conference: "If he's just kidding....." Well, here we are, and I think any columnist in America who doesn't rip this narcissistic hillbilly for the crap he's attempting to pull, need to pull their own head out of the clouds.

And here we go….. For everybody who had “July 2nd” in the “When Is Brett Favre Going to Crack and Hint He’s Not Really Retired” pool, congrats. Do you get the feeling that Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson saw this whole thing coming, and were anxious to head it off at the pass?

What Would Irv Have Said?
Hi Steve: When Bob brought up the other day the things may have been different with Brett had Irv been around, I really got to thinking. Since Holmgren, and likely Wolf departed, and his dad died, Favre has had no one to really fear. Next up, Ray Rhodes and Mike Sherman, who let him run wild. Since he didn't have accountability, he could become more of a diva with no one to bring him down to earth. By the time Thompson and McCarthy came along and weren't willing to let Brett walk all over the team, he had been unaccountable for long enough that he couldn't handle it and resented it. Hurt feelings resulted from him having to answer to someone for a change, and from fewer special "Brett rules". I am very curious how he handles Mangini, whom I have been told by a Jets fan is hated by the players. And, wait till Mike Lupica shreds him by mid-October. Read the NY press, they are building him up and up, and they will love tearing him down. See ya, donkey, Terry Rindt Read more ...
