Green Bay Would be absolutly nuts to not allow him to come back.

I don't think Green Bay would be absolutely nuts. Just partially. If they keep him, there may be some bad feelings. If they trade or release him, he may hurt the team's chances.

There is more than one guy on a team. Even the best player in the world can't do it himself. The Packers need to decide what's right for the team, not just for one guy. I'm speaking in general terms here. I don't think the Packers have a decision to make until Favre says he wants to come out of retirement, which hasn't happened.

Here in the real world, you have to make choices every day of your life. I, for one, am often held to those choices. I "loved" Brett, and he'll always be my "Number One," but he should be held to the same standard.

GREEN BAY FANS

Detroit enjoyed its greatest success in the 1950s. Led by quarterback Bobby Layne, they won the league championship in 1952, 1953, and 1957. They defeated the Browns" Cleveland Browns in each of those NFL Championship Games, but also lost to the Browns in the 1954 Championship Game.

In 1958, after he had led the Lions to three NFL Championships and provided Detroit nearly a decade of Hall of Fame play, the Lions traded Bobby Layne. Bobby was injured during the last championship season, and the Lions thought he was through and wanted to get what they could for him. According to legend, as he was leaving for Pittsburgh, Bobby said that Detroit "would not win for 50 years." Since this time, the Lions have not won another championship and have only a single playoff game win. Some have attributed the Lions' subsequent 49 years of futility to the "Curse of Bobby Layne."

2008 .................................................. the curse is broken
