Hmmm, he must want to sign with someone else.

If he really does retire, bummer. I'll miss him on the field.

Bret retires. Imagine that. I wonder if he will retire again next year.

year, month, tomorrow, whatever it takes. He flip flops more than any politician I've ever seen.

I'll believe it when it's week one and there's a live feed of him watching the game from his couch.

+1. I guess Bret can't stand LeBron getting all the press these days, huh?

Maybe he should have a press conference just like LeBron.

The good thing is that the annual Bret watch marks the first signs of the imminent arrival of football season.

nothing has been officially announced yet. All this is just because he sent a text to someone that said, "This is it".

Probably a big joke on his part, I hope he plays one more year.

Brent FAR-VUH will go away when he DIES.


...however, if he DOES retire, the Whinequeens are SCREWED.

I'd love to see him play another season. Even if he doesn't reach the bowl he does have some really good games more often than bad ones.

But he times his BAD games so well!

He has played for 4 different teams in his career:

Last pass as an Atlanta Falcon: INT

Last pass as a Green Bay Packer: INT (caused playoff loss/elimination)

Last pass as a New York Jet: INT

Last pass as a Minnesota Viking (so far - I'm not convinced yet): INT (caused playoff loss/elimination)

I am a Viking fan (not sure why, habit I guess) and I want him gone. I never wanted him period. I'll believe it when training camp is over.

Side rant; It's freakin ridiculous that these guys get away without camp. Poor slugs who aren't famous have to be there, so should everyone they play with.

A sensible Vikings fan.

I've wondered WHY any real fan of the team would like the way FAR-VUH has treated his team, and the fans of the team.

He's not THAT special - NO player is THAT special.
