Brett Favre

It has finally come that Brett has made the decision to retire. I actually thought this would come later than sooner, with all the records he broke this season and how well the Packers did. Honestly, I really wouldn't care what jersey Favre wore, I would still love him for his playing style, determination, charisma, attitude, and commitment to the sport. He reminded us of the loyalty that once bonded a player to a team. He showed us what it meant to never give up. He gave us a new level of intensity and achievement to work towards. The league has lost one of the greats. I'm proud to say I was able to watch him perform live in my life time. I know many Vikings fans hated him, but I think they would have changed their tunes if he wore purple. We often learn the most from the people we hate. Although I didn't hate him, I feel better that I knew what he was all about. Green Bay and the world will miss Brett Favre. I anticipate that within 8 years he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame, which he above most, deserves to the highest. Congrats on a great career! I wish there was an 18th season to watch highlights from! We'll miss you.
