Well, we knew this was inevitable that the great Brett Favre would announce his retirement after a 17 year run.  From his drunken days in Atlanta to his pain pill addictions in Green Bay, he was able to fight those demons to become one the NFL’s most popular QBs ever.  3 time MVP, Super Bowl Champ, and coming off of his best season in a few years, it comes to me as a shock that he would retire now.  He showed last year that he till had it, but considering the thing that haunted him the most did him in on a snowy night in Green Bay which was INTs, it is almost poetic justice for it to end the way that it did from him. 

I loved his no holds barred approach to the game leaving it all on the field, but sometimes the INTs were a little too much for me.  But who could forget the great game against Oakland after his dad died where every throw seemed to fall in a Packer’s hand, or the first superbowl win against the Pats, or his dominance over the NFC North.  There was so much he did in his career that I will always remember.  Thanks for the memories Brett, now don’t do a Michael Jordan and come back.  We want to remember you the way that we do.
