So Favre retires 3 or 4 or 5 different times, comes back a few of those times at the end when he clearly shouldn't have, and now he's peddling every dumb little product that comes his way. Wix.com, razors (not Gillette either, some weird fly-by-night brand), copperwear, a few more I can't think of. He's about a year away from doing commercials for bail bondsmen and smoke shops.
So what do you think it is? Drugs? Gambling? HOFers will usually get broadcasting gigs, and those who can't will start up some kind of business or just do nothing at all and sit on their money. Nobody gets this desperate.
