When the build-up to the 2011 NFL season began this past summer, there was something missing.
Favre Watch.
It seemed like every year there was a 'will be return for one more season?' question being asked.
And Brett Favre always answered by coming out of retirement for one more go.
Then another.
And another.
Last year, the ex-Green Bay Packer quarterback - then playing for the Minnesota Vikings - vowed that he was done once the 2010 season was over.
He seemed to have kept to his word
I heard the other day that the player would be interested in talking to the Chicago Beats if they were to call him. The Bears need some help after key players (Jay Cutler and Matt Forte) have been hit with injuries that could potentially leave them out for the remainder of the regular season, if not more.
The rumour was what it was.
For a few hours, Brett Favre was going to come back albeit at the tail end of the season but he was going to lead the Bears into the playoffs and step aside when Jay Cutler was ready.
But then - as most of the world breathed a sigh of relief - reality kicked me in the mouth.
No Brett Favre this season, folks.
Not yet, anyway.
