FROZEN TEARS EVERYWHERE
It's official, Brett Favre, Super Bowl Champion, 3 Time MVP, Actor, has retired.
No joke, people are crying here today in Wisconsin. Women, children, grown men, across the board. It's not a shocking revelation, Favre has been hinting about retiring for about 4 years now, but it's still a sad day for Packer fans. 202 quarterbacks have opened games since Favre became the Packer's starter. He holds all sort of records, including a starting quarterback record that will probably never be touched.
One of my favorite memories of Brett Favre was a few years ago. They were playing, let's say the Raiders [Ed.-It was actually the Giants], and Favre had been hit hard the play before, but stayed in the game, as was usual for him. Dropping back into the pocket, he heaved a bomb [Ed.-It was 28 yards] down the sidelines for an incredible touchdown[Ed.- It was pretty incredible]. He then staggered off the field and the next day it was revealed he'd had a concussion at the time of the pass and didn't even remember throwing the ball.
I don't care who you are, that's pretty darn tough.
That, and his willingness to talk trash to 300 pound linebackers that were paid specifically to slam him into the ground.
*sniff*
Oh, say it isn't so vaguely red haired Brett Favre Bobble Head!
At least we'll always have Mastercard.
