Ed, you are right. If he has a crappy season, there is no way he will want to retire that way. He will keep chasing another elusive good season. And if he has a good season, that will be additional encouragement to continue playing.

Another upside for Favre (though I doubt he has the personality to accept it) would be the role of Kurt Warner at the Cardinals. Ride the pine, come in for emergencies, collect a fat paycheck.
Now that I think of it, I can sit my *** as well as anyone else. I ought to look into becoming a third-string backup punter somewhere.

Stefan Fatsis (appropriately-named?) just published a George Plimptonesque book on exactly that topic.

I remember seeing Eddie Murray playing near the end of his career. He was a DH for the Orioles, as I recall. Anyway, he goes up to the plate, and you can see he's just a tub of guts at this point. The pitch, the swing--home run! He trots the bases and heads to the dugout. The camera catches him pacing back and forth--just rounding the bases left him winded. The look on his face plainly said "I don't care how much I am getting paid, I am too old for this ****." And he was a baseball player! I think he retired after that season.

No, but he filed reinstatement papers with the NFL. Stay tuned.

Does anyone know if FICS accounts get deleted if unused for too long?
