Brett Favre hung up his cleats today after completing his seventeenth season in the NFL. Favre said he contemplated coming back for an eighteenth season, but the only reason he was holding out would be to win the Super Bowl. Monday night he decided he was too mentally tired. Winning the Super Bowl isn’t exactly an easy challenge.
Favre is retiring from a record-breaking career, and is easily going to the Hall of Fame. Currently Favre holds the records for passing yards with 61,655, touchdown passes with 442, and wins by a starting quarterback with 160, to name just a few. He is also the winner of 3 MVP awards.
Favre leaves behind a very young and very capable Green Bay Packers team. Watch for Aaron Rogers to possibly step into the spotlight this year. He has patiently waited his turn to gain the starting quarterback position. Rogers in the past has been offered to go elsewhere to play, but he stayed with Farve as his mentor and the Packers as his team. It will be interesting to see where the Packers go from here.
* HE WILL BE MISSED*
