VIDEO: Brett Favre (Sigh) Continues to Risk Marring His Legacy

Oh, Brett Favre. If only you had listened to more Kenny Rogers when he sang in The Gambler about knowing when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em (never mind the part about when to walk away and when to run).  

The Green Bay Packers legend (quite poignantly) retired March 3 but rumors swirled about unretirement before the Fourth of July. Is his golf game that rusty? Does his wife have a Honey-Do list so intimidating he wants to return to the NFL? Is he still as sick as we are that putzy Eli Manning got a Super Bowl ring (and—eep, the MVP)?

Nah, he’s just got the fire in his belly, the itch, the whatever. But the ugly thing here is the to-release-or-not-to-release issues with the Packers.  The increasingly public drama isn’t pretty for anyone–Favre, the suits in Green Bay, the fans, or even that kid who wore Favre’s shirt for four years (boy, his face must be red right about now).

If you want to see the recap of Brett’s remarks on the matter to that heaven-help-us homely chick on Fox Greta van Susteren, you can lap up 5m, 24s worth here.
