Lucky us, right? As if the last four years of Favre saying, “Well, this is it, I’m probably done” wasn’t enough, now we’ve been treated to this: Brett Favre retiring, then saying he wants to come back, then us being promised he’d be traded and would never play in Green Bay, and now finding out that he’s coming back, he’ll be in Green Bay, and the coaches seem okay with him competing with Aaron Rodgers for the starting job.

Team president Mark Murphy said in a statement Sunday that the team has a specific plan with Favre in camp that it won’t reveal until Monday, but sources told ESPN’s Wendi Nix that coach Mike McCarthy will announce he’s holding an open competition for the starting quarterback position.

Does anyone really anticipate a competition? You’ve got an icon in Green Bay, someone who’s won MVP’s and Super Bowls, someone who’s thrown more touchdowns than any other quarterback in the history of the NFL, and you want to say there’s a competition? With Aaron Rodgers, who’s got about 300 yards he’s thrown in his entire career?

Painful as it’ll be, it appears Favre will be the starter in Green Bay, and we’ll all go through with this exact same talk next February, right around the time Favre decides he wants to “retire” again.
