According to Sports Illustrated's Peter King it is once more into the breach for Brett Favre.
You may recall that we've been through this before. Brett has a wife and kids and a sore arm and many reasons to walk away from the game he loves, but has been dragging his feet a bit.
That said I don't want to keep writing this post on his retirement, so I'm just going to recycle the last one:
Sixteen seventeen years. That's how long Brett Favre has been at the helm of the Green
Bay Packers and New York Jets storied franchises. Sixteen seventeen years of drama, highs, lows,
scares and bruises. He is the last of his kind and one of the greatest
ever. He isn't just Green Bay New York, he is football.
I love football, but my appreciation of Brett Favre goes
beyond the playing field. His character, strength and humor have been
nothing short of inspirational. He is a winner that understood it was
only a game. I can't help but think that football got more from Favre
than he could have ever taken from it.
There is one less gunslinger in town and it the Packer's Jets' loss and it is our loss. It is his family's gain. Brett Favre has retired.
Good luck, Brett, and thank you.
