A legend calls it quits
Even if you hate Brett Favre - and the drama that followed him last season - there’s no denying what he accomplished for the Green Bay Packers.
He willed his team to victories with backyard football plays and the strongest arm since Unitas. He put the Packers back on the map while winning three MVP awards and a Super Bowl. He never saw a game he couldn’t win and took risks as a quarterback that no one else would take. That’s what made him great.
I’ll never forget watching Favre’s first game against the Bengals in 1992. Once Don Majikowski got hurt, I remember thinking there was no way my favorite team would lose. I was wrong.
Check out this interview with Favre after the game:
I’ll also never forget the time I saw Favre play against the Bengals in Cincinnati in November of 2005. He nearly brought the Packers back to win, but didn’t thanks to this guy.
If this is the end (like Michael Jordan, you can never tell with Favre), Favre will be missed. It won’t be long before he’s being inducted into Canton.
