Yesterday was a sad day in professional sports…

The announcement of Brett Favre retiring marks the end of a bridge…the bridge that linked the QB’s of our childhood (Montana and Marino) to the QB’s of our adulthood (Manning and Brady). The generation-linker…the throwback in the EA Era!

Word on the street is that “he was too tired”…

Word on the street is that Brett does not think the Packers have what it takes to win a Super Bowl in ‘09…

The Pack was a bad interception away from from winning the NFC… Isn’t that something to build on?

I wish he would reconsider…

Things I’m going to miss about Brett Favre: 

great stories about him, his southern small town ways, his southern charm, his winning is everything mentality, calling him a “gunslinger”, him threading the needle, his imperfections and ability to win the battle, bringing the lunch pale - 253 consecutive regular season games / 275 counting playoffs, his boyish smile, his shaved head in honor of breast cancer, his ability to play the best game of his career - just hours after losing his father, and more than anything - i will miss believing that anything is possible when watching him play!

Favre’s place in QB History…

* All time records in TDs and Durability / * 3 MVPs and Super Bowl Rings / * signature MNF game after his dad died / * His 2007 renaissance / * His humanizing - off the field battle with pill - popping / * the gunslinger rep / * his longevity (1991 - 2007)
