More hubbub

The Chicago Tribune's Bob Verdi has the latest take on Brett Favre. He takes the position that Favre should have stayed retired and that the Packers made the right decision. I disagree with the latter portion of the position, but the piece is overall a solid critique:

Regularly scheduled programming on sports networks has been shelved, not only by Michael Phelps' quest for gold but by Favre's serial forays into arena addiction and self-absorption, both nourished by his acute appreciation of procrastination for dramatic effect.

And, as if we haven't had enough Favre, Verdi notes that he's gone from the smallest NFL market to its largest. Imagine the Favre hubbub to come.
