With the MLB playoffs set to begin, there is a subtle difference in the air compared to start of any other postseason. In the NHL, fans can potentially look forward to a great Canadians/Bruins series that is not only exciting, but has a historical kick to it. Likewise basketball fans always have the chance to see if the Suns can finally get past the Spurs and football fans love seeing the rivalry of the Eagles Vs the City of Philadelphia when the Eagles so much as get tackled for a loss.

Actually, no.
There are three certainties in life. You know the first two - death and taxes. The third? Every year, Brett Favre will create a media circus around his return to football.
I'll freely admit that he's a great quarterback. But if I have to listen to one more Brett Favre apologist calling this guy a "gunslinger" or an "everyman", that Denny's Grand Slam breakfast I just ate may end up being refunded.

Why is that whenever someone retires or is having a great career, the first question we all ask is, “where does he rank among the all-time greats?” Why must we always be looking at the historic side of things? LeBron is not the next Michael Jordan and we don’t know if he will be a better all-time player so why worry about it. Can’t we just enjoy LeBron for what he is? Alex Rodriguez is on pace to break every major home run record but I don’t understand why we always have to look at the big picture. From now on I am going to watch A-Rod for today and that’s all. When he hits a homer I am not going to wonder if that was 530 or 531 for his career, I will only care about it how many he has hit that season and if it helped the Yankees win. That is why I will not worry where Brett Favre ranks among the best quarterbacks in NFL history. No, I will just remember the career of Brett because whether you think he is better than John Elway or not you must admit, he was special.

After 17 years as the Green Bay Packers quarterback, the legendary and future hall of famer 3 time MVP Brett Favre is set to retire.
"I know I can still play, but it's like I told my wife, I'm just tired mentally. I'm just tired," Favre, a three-time NFL MVP, told ESPN's Chris Mortensen in a voice mail message.

Despite his decision to retire today, Brett Favre is likely to play quarterback in the NFL before all is said and done. Citing mental exhaustion as the primary motivating factor, Favre is leaving the game after having made 253 consecutive regular season starts (275 including playoffs). Not surprisingly, Favre is mentally exhausted, but physically he's still got it. Which leads one to conclude that after a suitable mental Sabbatical period has ensued, Favre will be back and playing QB for somebody, somewhere.
