Once the paeans have been offered--and let us admit, paeans are deserved--let there be no doubt that this article is right on the money and that the Chicago Bears and their fans will not miss Brett Favre. Sure, my beloved Bears did quite well against the Favre-led Packers over the past few years, but for most of Favre's career, he dominated the Bears like few other football players ever did.

Now he is gone and the worst we have to fear is Aaron Rodgers. And as the article rightly points out, the balance of power in the NFC North may have shifted enough to give the Bears a chance at being competitive again. Yes, I know, this all depends on what the Bears' front office does and yes, I know, Rex Grossman may well set us up for yet another season of heartbreak. But I will take my chances with this situation rather than face the Packers with Favre at the helm for yet another season.

Again, Brett Favre was a great quarterback and even Bears fans will pay him the proper degree of respect. Then, we'll make sure that he doesn't get to keep any of his equipment or jerseys so that he doesn't even think about making a comeback.
