Could A-Rod Pull a Brett Favre?

For those that don’t know what I’m alluding to by penning the title to this article, let’s replay the events towards the end of Brett Favre’s illustrious career. After 15-seasons and one Super Bowl Championship, Favre retired from the Green Bay Packers at the completion of the 2007 season.

Just a few months later, as training camp got underway, Favre unretired, and then orchestrated a trade to the New York Jets. After one so-so year with Gang-Green, Favre packed it in again; only to personally call the Minnesota Vikings in July of 2009 and offer his services, because let’s face it, even at 39, after a down year with the Jets, he was still way better than what the Vikings were going to roll out at quarterback; Tavaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels.
