Time for Oscar De La Hoya and Brett Favre to say goodbye

It is a natural. A joint news conference. Two superstars of yesterday saying goodbye.

Or, more to the point, two guys saying goodbye who really need to say goodbye.

Oscar De La Hoya, a boxing great with a wonderful business career ahead, could stand up and say, ‘I got hit too much.’

And Brett Favre, pro football star with a wonderful career ahead in anything he wants to do, from TV commercials to running a farm to sports commentating, could stand nearby and nod agreement.

Then Favre could say, ‘I can’t throw anymore.’

And De La Hoya could nod knowingly.

It’s time, guys. Do it separately or do it together. But do it.
