Once again, blame the media

Let’s review:
-Favre texts teammates, saying “this is it”
– Someone tells Star Tribune
– Star Tribune says Favre retires.
– Internet explodes
– Favre still hasn’t said anything to team
– Favre hasn’t said anything to his closest friends
– As of quarter to 1 on Wednesday morning, there is STILL NO TANGIBLE EVIDENCE that Favre has decided to retire.
– Vikings talk themselves into giving Favre a raise anyways.

Well played, whoever is orchestrating this dumbassery. Well played.
