He couldn't go on without Favre

[Hooch]

If that happened, I couldn't see him lasting more then a year. Favre doesn't have the verbal skills to carry a conversation for more then a few minutes.

I could see him during a Packers game, bitching and making all kinds of snide remarks....before he starting crying.

He'd say he was just trying it out for the first year, then every year after he would make his triumphant decision to return right before the first game.

As for Madden, he probably saw his buddy Harry Kalas drop dead in the booth at his age and doesn't want to follow suit.
