Brett Favre, the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, announced his retirement Tuesday. The 17-year veteran, who started his career in Atlanta, leaves the game as the holder of records for touchdowns and passing yards.
I was afraid that he was going to retire this year, which is why I wanted so badly for the Packers to get to the Super Bowl. Favre was an exciting quarterback to watch, but the last couple of years, it was pretty easy to see that his skills were beginning to diminish. Nevertheless, the 38-year-old managed a career-high completion percentage this past season.
Thanks for the memories, Brett. You are going to be missed.
