We’ve all heard the story of Peter and the Wolf, right?  Well when I think about the roller coaster ride Brett Favre has taken the NFL and all of its fans on the fable is the first thing that comes to mind.  Favre recently signed a two-year, $25 million with the Minnesota Vikings.  I’m just as salty as the next real football fan because last time I checked, football is a team sport, not a ‘come and do what you please, when you please sport’.  I’ve got a few thoughts on what he should do.  But who am I to say what Brett Favre should or shouldn’t do?

Just your average sports fan.  Back in the day, about 10-12 years ago, I was an avid Brett Favre fan, especially when he led the Packers to their Super Bowl win in 1996. Reminiscing on the good ‘ol days, check on these apartments for rent in Green Bay.  But now, that’s a distant memory.  His indecision has begun to overshadow his immense accomplishments in the NFL.

Fran Tarkenton, former great Minnesota Vikings quarterback, described it best in a recent interview on ‘Outside the Lines’, an ESPN show focusing on off the field issues in different sports and athlete’s lives, when he said Favre signing with Minnesota was an ‘absolute circus’.  I completely agree, I don’t think it’s fair to football fans and the NFL, to take attention away from important football issues to focus on whether or not Favre is going to make up his mind this year.

Taking things a step further, a guest analyst on ‘Mike and Mike in the Morning’, an ESPN radio show which also airs on ESPN2, spoke on Favre’s daughter’s indecisiveness on whether or not he should come out of retirement.  Apparently, Favre’s daughter first encouraged him to join the Vikings in hopes that she would make new friends, but later expressed her hesitation to leave her current friends.  The analyst said, “I guess the whole family has a history of waffling.”  The greatest line ever!

It’s deplorable how some find it acceptable for Favre, or anyone, to waltz on to a team without attending training camp or any pre-season workouts.  Please explain this to me!  Favre’s inability to make a decision has caused some rifts in relationships, particularly with the Green Bay Packers.  Since March of 2008 Favre has retired first with Green Bay, came back, and when Green Bay doesn’t honor his ‘un-retirement’ he signs with the Jets.  Then, he retired again after an injury-laden season with the New York Jets. If New York is your scene unlike the ‘waffling’ Favre, check out these apartments for rent in New York.

Now, a major reason Favre’s signing with Minnesota is so tough on Packers’ fans is because the Vikings are a division rival.  This is the ultimate sin in the NFL.  But, I guess Brett thinks he’s above the NFL, right?  He doesn’t even have to come to training camp to play!  All I’m saying is, we need to focus more on the game of football and less on turning Brett Favre into a god of the NFL.  Because that, he is not.

As tradition with last years post Best Cities for Singles, we have posted the newest version for all those single folks! These rankings, done by Forbes, are meant to be a guide for young, ambitious singles who can live and work wherever they want.

To determine the best cities out of the 40 largest urbanized areas in America they devised criteria of seven categories:  number of singles, night life, culture, cost of living alone, job growth, online dating activity and coolness (the last criteria being my favorite). In order to determine the coolness of each city, a poll was conducted in which participants were asked “Among the following U.S. cities, which one do you think is the coolest?” It is no surprise that New York was deemed the coolest city overall.

Here are the top 10….

1. Atlanta, GA

2. San Francisco, CA

3. Dallas, TX

4. Minneapolis, MN

5. Washington D.C

6. Seattle, WA

7. Boston, MA

8. New York City, NY

9. Orlando, FL 

10. Phoenix, AZ

Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, tops the Forbes list of the best cities for singles mainly because of its great night life, high number of singles in the area as well as the great job growth market! In the eight years Forbes has been ranking America’s cities for singles, Atlanta has been in the top ten all but one year. Making it one of the friendliest cities!
