Might as well shut down the state of Wisconsin.

It’s finally over. Brett Favre is retiring. For real this time.

We can all agree that Brett Favre loved to play football. And nobody had fun the way Brett Favre had fun when Brett Favre played football. But now it’s over.

For us here at Cold Omaha, he will always be the guy who played quarterback for the team we hated. We loved watching him implode at the Metrodome and we hated when he beat us. He got way too much credit for the good throws and not nearly enough bashing for the interceptions during critical moments of big games.

We won’t be turning on ESPN for the next couple of days; we can’t stand to hear anymore about him, his great career, or his gun-slinger mentality. He had a good run and now its over. Thank goodness.
