Eric Moulds-The anti-Brett Favre (AP Photo)

Word on Sunday night is that Brett Favre did in fact have shoulder surgery, meaning a comeback is likely.  I’m so sick of hearing about/reporting on Favre and his inability to walk away from football.  It got me thinking about a conversation I recently had with former Bills receiver Eric Moulds.  He had no problem retiring, even turning down offers to play last season.  He told me he just couldn’t commit to working out all offseason.  He believes he can still play.  But he knows that football is a year-round committment, and it wouldn’t be fair to his team if he just strolled in for training camp.  Too bad Favre doesn’t think like that.  He’ll likely do the same thing to the Vikings that he did to the Jets.  Show up in camp, and alter the plans and chemistry developed through all those OTA’s.  Its selfish on his part.  Because he can’t walk away, but doesn’t really want to put in the time, he leaves his new team in a bad spot.  The Jets paid a price for that last year, and Minnesota likely will in 2009.  Maybe the teams should just stop saying yes, thinking that an over-the-hill superstar can still help.  That may be the only way that Favre will actually stay retired.
