If you're gonna retire, decide to come back months later and expect the same job--you've gotta be pretty arrogant.

I contemplate my future and where I am heading often, sometimes I made a decision, say this past week an investment in these rough economic times which restricted my cash flow. However upon reflection this weekend, I came to the decision that the investment is too risky, I am not comfortable with it completely now and am going to pull out this week.
Does this make me arrogant because I think I can just pull my money back out and deposit back into savings?
It may seem arrogant to you in your prespective, but compound it into something tangible for yourself and it sheds a different light upon it.
I can relate to a sort because the game I loved to play was forcely taken away from me.. there isn't a single day I don't play the "what if" game. If there was someway I could play again.. I probably would risk a ton to do so. I am an competition and football addict.. it really isn't that far of a stretch to see why he flipped on his decision.
None of it was arrogant driven, IMO.
Now the way both he and Thompson, both have blame, handled the whole situation was a pathetic display of communication and conflict resolution. The thing is, the Packers learned from the situation and probably have moved on already, less direct emotional investment on their parts, they say goodbye to players all the time.
On Brett's side, it was a more committed emotional relationship with the team, teammates and fans.. he struggled in dealing with the parting.. I don't see that as arrogant either.
Brett is human, he allowed his emotion to cloud his decision making and allowed those emotions to drive his decision making.. many people make that same mistake.. most divorces are probably driven on such a principle.
I don't possess ill feelings towards either side, you can see the way it played out even without the exact details and noted conversations.
Seeing Brett with Christopher upon the sidelines on CF wish.... arrogant never entered my mind.
I just don't think Favre is the Villian that he is made out to be here. It is ok for soemone to call him an arrogant idiot.

If ones strips the emotion of the past year away, look at the entire body of work that Brett and his family projected upon the community of Green Bay and Northeastern Wisconsin, one would never use arrogant and Brett in the same sentence.
Over Emotional... hell yeah.
Confident and possessing an ego.. yes.
Compulsive... I seen him downtown and at his brothers bar the Broke Spoke in the early 90's.. yes at least then he was very compulsive in nature.. nothing more than any other college aged or mid twenties red blooded American male..
For those that have spent time with him, somewhat shy and reserved, very mindful of his company and respectful as all get out... and from what some say, highly intelligent, even though he never wanted that reveiled.
Just as some over praised him, there are going to be some that want to tear him apart currently.. fueled on emotion.. and just as Brett displayed last offseason.. when emotion is the driver, rational decision making and patience are not readily available.
