If you have yet to hear, the breaking news today is that Brett Favre has decided to stay retired and not join the Vikings. This marks the second time in two years that Favre has toyed with the Vikings, and left them out to dry. At least the first time he could blame the Packers.

This story is a bit old, but it’s newsworthy. If their trial drags out long enough so that it interferes with the season, the Williamses will be allowed to play. At least until the final ruling is handed down, which we’re hoping lacks a lengthy suspension.

This is good news, though. Actually, any news that doesn’t include the words “Brett” or “Favre” in them are probably going to be good news.
