Does Brett Favre think he's bigger than the game?

He must with the way he is acting. Retire already, you are done. Are the Vikings really this desperate? And why is this such a huge story, since we all know his best days are years behind him. I'm just sick of these athletes making a huge deal about retiring, shedding tears in press conferences, and walking away for some period of time, only to return to great fan fare. I recognize that these athletes have ego's that are insatiable, but why the media drools all over this nonsense is beyond me. Retire already Favre, and let us get back to what is really important, the O's second half!
