Mark told me the news this evening, but I told him that I'd believe it when I actually heard the words come out of Brett's mouth myself. So I check email just now and Mark's parents sent us a link to an article from a local paper stating that it looks like Brett will be back. Then I checked out the Sun Herald article myself. Is it 100% sure?? No, but it sure is a really good chance. I'm thinking the only thing that will keep him away is if another tragedy happens in his family.
Seriously...look at the team. Nobody expected us to do ANYTHING this year because we were the youngest team in the NFL. We have fooled everyone and we've got nowhere to go but up. With Brett's decision coming much earlier than it has the past few seasons, it gives the Green Bay management some time to make decisions about new players. Oh, this is going to be great!! Plus, it's Brett's 18th season. 18 is the Brue lucky number. Our wedding anniversary is May 18. Mark's b-day is on August 18. My b-day is September 18. Hope had to be her own person and come on July 19!!! That girl. Independent...just like her Mommy. Anyway, I'm already pumped about next season.
Now, the danger in all of this is that the news could have a not so good effect on the team for Saturday. Hopefully Brett and Coach McCarthy will be able to keep the boys focused on THIS game because next year makes no difference in this year's play off games. So far they've been able to keep their heads together. Let's hope it continues because although this news about Brett makes me excited about next season, I'm not any where NEAR ready for THIS season to be done. It can be done on February 3rd...after we beat the stinkin' Patriots in the Super Bowl!! WooHoo!!!
