it seems that i am a good writer because that is what i have been told by my peers and teachers. so here it goes. the one thing in my mind reared its ugly head yesterday at about 11:02 PM as the unthinkable happened. I was sitting down to watch baseball tonight to catch up on all of my baseball needs(i was at the cubs game go white sox though)when a breaking news update flashed across my screen and sportscenter began. those words ripped through me like a knife through a premium steak."Brett Favre has been traded to the New York Jets".

as a die hard Green Bay Packers fan growing up in Chicago i had studied this saga such as a biologist studies bacteria reproducing through a microscope. Brett Favre is one of my idols and his accomplishments give me hope where all hope was lost. When this saga began unfolding I thought well the packers are going to ask him to play why wouldn't they. as the packers began denying his wishes more and more this feeling kept rising and lurching in the pit of my stomach. if Brett Favre has an itch to play Ted Thompson or Mike Mcarthy better be able to scratch it. but they didnt, and all that was left to do was wonder, wait and follow this epic tragedy until its closure.

Brett Favre is 39 years old and is just coming off one of his best seasons in his hall-of-fame career and the packers didn't want him. So it was decided that once Brett Favre was reinstated he would be released or traded. but, Brett Favre still needed to be reinstated by Roger Goodell. This took days and finally Brett Favre was reinstated and a few days later he was in green bay to the delight of packers fans who still had hope. Brett wanted a trade anywhere but the packers organization wanted him out of the division. they had already filed tampering charges against the Minnesota Vikings for talking to Brett Favre.

It was agreed that Brett Favre would be traded to either Tampa Bay or the New York Jets. Once the news was broke i simply lay there almost to tears watching everybody's commentary from Chris Mortensen to Trent Dilfer. Once the Packers released they're statement i truly felt that it was sincere and i just lye there in awe sick to my stomach. Shut Down corner Charles Woodson said it best only hours before the trade "Green Bay doesn't want Brett Favre and Brett Favre doesnt want Green Bay." How long it will take for the wounds to heal between Green Bay and Brett Favre only time will tell. Likewise, how long it will take current Packers QB Aaron Rodgers to be a dominant QB and get past this ordeal(he looks really good in training camp.)only time will tell. thank you for reading this and feel free to leave a comment if you please. thank you.
