Ugh, Brett Favre
I think I probably wrote a story with the exact same title about a year ago. Brett Favre is un-un-retiring now but denies he said he was going to retire. But he still may retire. It depends. A day after reports surfaced that Brett Favre had begun telling the Minnesota Vikings he was planning to […]
