It’s official, though only time will tell if it‘s official for real....or just official for now.
Brett Favre is through with football and has retired.
How will you remember Brett Favre?
Will you remember his 464 touchdown passes?
Or his 310 interceptions?
Will you remember Favre for the big passes that won big games like the 16 yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings which gave the Packers a 23-16 win over the Minnesota Vikings and Favre his 421st touchdown pass…the one that broke Dan Marino's touchdown record?
Or will you remember the NFC Championship game played on the frozen tundra at Lambeau Field, the 3rd coldest game in NFL history. A day when Favre struggled through his last game as a Packer - completing 19 of 35 passes for 236 yards, 2 touchdowns and two interceptions including one on the second play of overtime to Corey Webster which set up Lawrence Tynes' game winning 47 yard field goal just four plays later?
Will you remember Favre for his on field heroics, or off field theatrics?
Will you remember Brett Favre as a Green Bay Packer, or as a New York Jet?
Do you remember Larry Csonka as a Miami Dolphin? As a World League defector, or as a New York Giant?
Do you remember Jerry Rice the San Francisco 49er? Jerry Rice the Oakland Raider.... or maybe even Jerry Rice the Seattle Seahawk?
Speaking of 49ers, do you remember Joe Montana as a 49er or a Kansas City Chief?
And speaking of Joe’s…..do you remember Joe Namath as a New York Jet or a Los Angeles Ram?
Will Brett Favre be remembered for his 160 wins as a Green Bay Packer?
Or for losing 4 of his last 5 games as a New York Jet?
However we remember Brett Favre, don’t forget his 291 consecutive starts and his burning desire to play the game he loves…..a desire so strong that he was even willing to wear another shade of green to do it all one more time.
