Yesterday, Brett Favre announced his retirement from the NFL after 17 seasons. He was a nine-time Pro Bowler and the only three-time MVP in NFL history. He had just completed a fabulous season, leading his Green Bay Packers to a 13-3 record en route to being named Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year. In fact, it would appear that part of his rationale was that he did not feel he could top his last season.
He retires with a bevy of NFL records including, but not limited to, 5377 passes completions, 61655 passing yards and 442 touchdown passes.
In all of the reminiscing of his exploits on the football field, let us not forget his cameo in the 1998 film There's Something About Mary (where his name was memorably pronounced with two syllables as opposed to the correct “Färv") or the fact that his troubled sister is absolutely gorgeous (a former “Miss Teen Mississippi”). If I had a picture to post, believe me, I would. If you have a picture of her to post, send it to me. Seriously.
