This is New England. Home of the World Champion Boston Red Sox, the 17-time NBA Champion Boston Celtics, and one other successful sports franchise. Too bad I hate them with every fiber of my being. Of course, I’m referring to the New England Patriots. I am not a Patriots fan by any stretch of the imagination. Instead, I’m a cheesehead. I love the Green Bay Packers, which makes what I’m about to say very weird. I hope Brett Favre stays retired. It’s time to hang them up, Brett.

Don’t get me wrong. Brett favre is probably my favorite football player of all time, and he is probably a top-10 quarterback of all time. But this retire, unretired game has got to stop. He’s held this franchise hostage in the offseason for the better part of four seasons now. It’s been the lead story on ESPN all week and I just don’t understand why. He wasn’t a good enough quarterback to warrant this attention. As good as he was in his prime, he’s probably been the most overrated player in the NFL the last few years.

And what about Aaron Rodgers? The guy gets drafted late in the first round, much later than expected, and now has to endure another whole sequence of the Brett Favre game. The guy deserves a shot to prove what he can do, and this is the year to start. I don’t care if that brings the Packers back to the pack (no pun intended) in the NFC North…it just needs to happen.

So Brett, do me a favor. Stay home in Mississippi, film your Wrangler commercials, and stop texting the Packers GM that you want to come back for another year. You’re done, something you even admitted yourself not two months ago. Let someone else have a shot. You’re in the Hall in 2013, you’ve won a Super Bowl, and you have nothing left to prove. It seems everyone has come to that realization…except for yourself.

BlogBostonSports aspires to be the most informative, entertaining, and well-rounded blog covering each of New England’s sports teams. We’ve grown tired of existing blogs that all re-hash the same information over and over again, giving you mindless game summaries and trite commentary. We strive to be better, all without taking ourselves too seriously.

The goal is to provide insight into the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins, categorized accordingly, and presented in an interesting and informative way to become your one-stop source for Boston sports analysis. The going might be slow at first as we get our bearings and figure out the logistics of becoming bloggers, but we promise to provide quality content on a very regular basis. You can learn more about us at the aptly named about us page.
