The End of an Age

Well, the NFL has just ended up with one less legend within it. Brett Favre has retired. The NFL's all time leader in consecutive QB starts, touchdown passes, passing yards, interceptions, and more has told the Packers that he will hang up his hat. While he said that he was physically able to keep playing, he was mentally drained.

For the avid sports fan, the obvious commentary would be that Ted Thompson (the Packers GM) failed to pursue free agent Randy Moss. This would send a message to Favre (who wanted to play with the all star wideout) that he isn't too concerned to have him back.

This leaves us with one of the most passionate players of football watching the next NFL season off of the field.

Thanks Brett, you have been an inspiration and a joy to watch...
