Unable to find a receiver, Favre announces retirement
Facing a 3rd and long with his receivers blanketed by a feisty Miami secondary, Brett Favre announced his retirement mid-play on Sunday afternoon. "When I looked downfield and Coles was covered deep while Cotchery had not even come out of his break yet, and the pass rush was starting to bear down on me --well, heck, I just realized I don't have the same youthful exuberance necessary to play this game at a high level", said the fickle-minded forward pass thrower. The pass rush and game were both halted briefly for a ceremony to commend Favre for his years of commitment to the league, painkillers and gray beard stubble.
In a surprising turn of events after the Jets defense held the Dolphins on the next series, Favre was seen hustling to a sideline fax machine to send in a request for reinstatement to NFL Commissioner Roger Gooddell's office. Before heading back on to the field, Favre commented,"The tractor and my tight Wrangler jeans can wait. I missed football. I missed the camaraderie for those few minutes while we were on defense." Longtime NFL announcer John Madden commented, "He's like a little kid out there. Ya look at the joy on his face when he's sending that fax in, and you just know that that is Brett Favre sending a Brett Favre fax so he can get back out there for some Brett Favre football."
