Brett making efforts to come out of retirement is like a slap to the face of the Packers organization and his fans. He went out on top, despite not making it to his second Super Bowl. He chose to leave, and we accepted it.
He now knows he can’t return to the Packers, who have been busting their asses for the past half a year to play without him. The only option is to play for another team. The Packers won’t allow him to simply be released unconditionally from his contract and sign with the highest bidder (likely the Vikings or Bears). If anything, he gets traded to a non-NFC North team, and the Packers gain some value in return.
He’ll end up on a team like the Ravens, Bucs, or Dolphins. He won’t win another Super Bowl with one of those teams. His best chance was to decide earlier to play one more year in Green Bay, and he gave up on that chance. Brett’s image is now tarnished as a Packer, because of his selfishness. Maybe I’ll feel differently in a year, but I’m truly heartbroken right now… as lame as that might sound.
He is the Shawn Michaels to our Marty Jannety.
