Why can't people who quit just stay quitters?
I know there are some things that, despite every best effort, you just can't quit:
Like Amy Winehouse and bad press, Kate Hudson and married men, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, or Carrie Bradshaw and shoe shopping, but when it come to sports legends finally hanging the jockstrap up, why do some choose to lose the admiration and support from their fans when they jump back into the arena less than 4 months later? Clemens, Jordan, now Bret Favre- just quit and stay quit! The one exception, Dara Torres, who is proving so much by reclaiming a spot on the US swimming team at the plucky age of 41; but somehow her retirement and re-entering the sports fold seems nothing close to being the pathetic process Bret's new need to be playing ball feels like. Hell, two years ago he went through the whole act of debating staying or going and ended up staying and doing well, but once he decided to retire this year, he should let the team, the fans, and the sport move on!
Now he's acting like a true fan- a cheesehead and putting his fans through more ups and downs than a Miss USA contestant at the Miss Universe pageant.
