When one thinks of retirement, you think of old people in florida, RV trips, and 401k's. Generally, being relieved of the responsibility of work is something people look forward to, and once a person is retired, they usually grab their parting gift baskets and don't look back.
However, if you are the once great QB Brett Favre, this isn't the case. It appears that Mr. Favre is confused about the actual meaning of the word 'retirement,' and it is my personal thought that maybe in his old age he has confused 'retirement' with words such as 'vacation' or 'sabbactical' which in contrast with retirement, are temporary events.
Favre is returning yet again to the NFL, this time to the Minnesota Vikings after their completion of training camp. (This was said to be strategic, since Mr. Favre is an open training camp hater.) This, of course, travesty in the world of his former team, the Packers. Although I am a Packers fan, I hold no grudges. I am actually scared because of the fact that at his progressed age, dementia may kick in during a game. Or he might blow a hip.
In all seriousness though, I believe we should take 3 things from this story. One, never believe Bret Favre. Two, rich people just want to get richer. And three, when considering leaving your job forever, make sure that's what you really want to do.
