A Very Sad Day

Man am I bummed! The amazing competitor that is Brett Favre has retired after 17 years. The news just stunned me.

Favre had such an complete season this last year, breaking Dan Marino's career records for most touchdown passes and most yards passing and John Elway's record for most career wins by a starting quarterback. Amazing stats, but with Favre it is more than just the stats.

Brett was as fun to watch as any quarterback I have ever seen. Tony Romo is the only guy I can think of who looks like he is having as much fun on the football field as Brett Favre did. He was a guy you could root for even when he was playing your team.

He was good for football and good for 17 years of fun.

Thanks Brett.
