Bye bye, Brett ...

So Brett Favre is going home. Back to his riding lawnmower in Kiln, Mississippi, straight to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, or to mull over another, late pre-season soap opera regarding his retirement.
Will he or won't he?
Remember, even if he says he won't, he might.
And that's despite the fact the New Orleans Saints roughed Favre up pretty much throughout their O.T. win in Sunday's NFC conference final. In fact, at one point, it looked like Favre might leave the game. I was hoping not, and was glad when he didn't, because then we'd have heard the excuse from Vikes fans and Favre supporters that they would've won if he stayed in.
So, he stayed in and they lost anyway.
And, as predicted here on Friday, Favre was guilty of a poor decision and bad turnover at the most inopportune of times that eventually paved the way for the Saints' victory in O.T.
Anyway, great game, great result. First Super Bowl appearance for the former Aints who, at one time, played before fans with paper bags over their heads.
Those days are long gone.
I dug up a New York Jets sweatshirt to wear during the Colts game and was holding out hope for an upset at half time but you just knew it wasn't enough, didn't you.
Colts made Jets look downright inept in the second half en route to the AFC conference title.
They deserved the win, but helmets off to the Jets for getting that far. Great future ahead for Gang Green.
Watch for my Super Bowl prediction Friday.
(Go Saints go.)
