The Bald Truth
When he wakes up Monday, Brett Favre will be one, big, purple welt.
The Saints knocked the snot out of him ... and maybe, just maybe, they knocked him right into retirement.
I, for one, hope he comes back for one more year - even if it means the next seven or eight months are filled with him retiring, unretiring, retiring again, unretiring again and, well, you know the drill.
Hey, Brett: One more year!

The guy still can play, he loves the competition and a loaded Vikings
team will give him another shot at the Super Bowl next season.
The NFL is more fun and interesting with Favre in it - something even the biggest Brett-bashers out there have to admit.
Simply stated: There aren't five athletes in all of sports I'd rather watch perform.
The Quote
"No!! Always call tails!!!" - Yours Baldly, to my wife, after Vikings captain Steve Hutchinson foolishly called "heads" on the overtime coin toss.
The Balder Truth
It's pretty tough to rail against the inequity of the NFL's overtime format - one that lets a game be decided even if only one offense gets to touch the football - when the losing team pissed away about a zillion chances to win it in regulation.
I mean, a too-many-men-in-the-huddle penalty in the closing seconds to take the Vikings out of range for the potential game-winning field goal? Followed by Favre's idiotic interception? Preceded by a half-dozen fumbles?
The Vikings got exactly what they deserved: February off.
And Remember - You're Under Oath
Show of hands: How many of you really thought Garrett Hartley would make that winning 40-yard kick in OT?
THE BALDEST TRUTH
Yes, I wanted Brett Favre vs. Peyton Manning. Still, the first Super Bowl appearance ever for the Saints, whose greatest player ever was Peyton's daddy?
Not too shabby.
