The likes of Brett Favre will not pass our way again. The Packers have shown their true colors, unnecessarily causing sincere emotional pain not only to their one authentic hero, but to thousands of people around the world who have come to love him.

Heroes should never be treated like this - the lemmings are those who are so selfish, so thoughtless and mean-spirited and utterly blind to the qualities that define a hero. And if you folks took the time to learn more about this man, the guy who has constantly shown how deep his emotions run in elation and in tragedy; the rare man of strength physically and morally; the man whose "100% commitment" to his family who has lived up to those words - by the way, his definition of "family" is startlingly broad, including his teammates, his traditionally-defined family, and the very sick kids whose homes have tragically come to include Children's Hospital at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He and his wife are there "all the time", according to a young woman whose teenage son lives with chronic, severe illness. It takes a person of rare courage to not only meet but become personally acquainted with children who are so ill. I don't believe these actions are in his job description. They come from that heart - that heart so rarely seen in this country, especially in a big, tough, mean football player. That heart he's constitutionally unable to hide. We won't see the likes of him pass our way again.

I'm sorry he's been so badly hurt. I turn away in shame at such casual cruelty.

Gee, let's all just let Ray Nitschke, Don Hutson, Reggie White, Tony Canadeo and a host of other guys play again, huh?

What cracks me up is the treatment that LeRoy Butler gets from many of the same twits who give Favre a pass.

How many NFC championships does Favre have to blow with lame-iod last minute interceptions before you give him his props and send him packing like the Packers are trying to do? The number stands at two currently.

Hey, if you like Brett, you should read about his early days at www.FreeBrettFavreBook.com

The Packers gave up on Favre when they let their pro bowl guard, Mike Wahle go. They were surprised by his performance last year and the coach decided to move on without him. Tight Teddy got the task of unloading him - and the rest is history. Favre is playing great for the Jets when he would have had the same four wide receivers and front line for the first time in history - and the fifth wide receiver, Jordy Nelson, would have given him a new target.

As for his interception throw in the playoffs last year, it was the decision by coaches to go against the wind - which guaranteed a loss. Take the ball into the wind that stopped two field goals? Dumbest decision ever made - and the dummies blame Favre, who has had a lot of interceptions throwing to wide receivers who didn't run their routes or couldn't catch his bullets.

Management will probably get kudos when they get a first round pick for him - but just think - he was taking someone to the super bowl this year - why not the Pack? Ask McCarthy.

Attention football fans...

I hope you can forgive me for breaking in, but I figured all Brett Favre fans would be interested in knowing this.

Brett Favre will un-retire and play one last time. It???s virtually a lock.

In fact, I can even tell you what team he will play for.

And answer all the questions regarding his fallout with the Packers and the so-called "Right Mindset."

As a matter of fact, I have even been in contact with Brett???s agent, Bus Cook with the details. It???s going to take some time, but I can almost assure you that not only will Brett play again, but when the time is right, which team he will be playing for.

I suppose many of you will ask me how I know this, and the answer is that this is what I do for a living. I help companies and organization attract and retain their most valuable employees. It???s very similar to being a sports agent. If you remember the movie, Jerry Maguire, that is very similar to what I do.

Unfortunately, that is why I could predict that the Jets would not be a good fit for Favre even before the 2008 season started, and that Green Bay would play uninspired football without him. Naturally everyone just wanted to hope for the best at that point, but sadly those two predictions came true.

However, it???s also why I can predict that Brett Favre will want to make a Roger Clemens-like return (in other words, no training camp), and also tell you which team he will land with.

It will be a step-by-step process, but the first step is already a lock to happen. I have already confirmed with a source with one of the major publications covering the team I predict will ask Brett out of retirement one more time.

And yes, I am even willing to show the email I sent to Favre???s agent.

If you are interested, I will be providing updates to help everyone see just how the process will unfold at http://realmenguides.blogspot.com/.

I have also made the guideline that I sent to Brett???s agent, Bus Cook, available to anyone who would like to read it. It details how Brett could play for one more season, and which team it will be that will most likely ask him to come out of retirement one more time. In fact, Pittsburgh???s success in Super Bowl XLIII virtually guarantees it.

And as far as "the Right Mindset," I am providing all those answers for free in the blog. Because truthfully, helping companies and their employees achieve the Right Mindset for Success is what I do every day. And no matter how you feel about Brett Favre, we can all benefit from the "Right Mindset."

Here we go again. 10 - 12 million the Vikings are going to give Farve. Please do us all a favor and stay retired. your image as a sporting icon is in my book completely tarnished.. what you need the money? I was a Farve fan when he retired, the first time. Now I just think he's an egotist, but the Vikings did sign him to a large figured salary, so I can't blame him. The Vikings will be sorry, mark my words. Farve should have taken his retirement and his millions and gone into coaching younger players and given them a chance to have been metored by one of the greatest quarterbacks ever, now it's just like tsk, tsk, tsk... what team will he go to next year
