Haven’t posted in a while, in part because I haven’t had much worth talking about. Not sure this necessarily qualifies but I wanted to make an observation. I would like to give a kudos to Brett Favre on his retirement. He is choosing to go out on his own terms and on a fairly positive note. I’ve noticed that the vast majority of people who rip on him do so not because of anything he’s done so much as what the media and fans have done. In some ways, it’s not all that different from the Apple-bashers, but I digress.
What I admire most about Brett is not the records he’s set, the amazing passes he’s thrown, or the last-minute drives he’s led. What I admire is the fact that he’s one of the very few professional athletes who clearly shows his enjoyment of the game. When things aren’t going well, it’s not as apparent obviously, but I really believe that he truly enjoyed his job. Yeah, he got paid well for it, but if you can get paid for doing something you enjoy and arguably do very well, why not? How many quarterbacks out there get sacked by Brian Urlacher and get up smiling?
Anyway, that’s all for tonight! 
p.s. I think I should make a newer userpic ….
