Marino and Montana ended their careers with losses too.

The NFL is much weaker without Brett Favre.   They lost a true ambassodor to the way football should be played



Amen to that.  There are few people of that caliber in football any more, whether it be on the field or off.  It's sort of fitting that he and Sapp retire at the same time.  When GB and TB were in the same division, I went to the game every time the Pack came to town.  I loved watching Sapp and Favre go at each other.  And so did they I think.  WE, I'm crying right with ya brother.  He may not (then again) go down in history as the greatest QB  ever, but I think he will be remembered as the most spectacular, if ya get me meaning. 
Destroy all that which is evil, so that which is good may flourish

Women and children are precious resources to be protected at all costs.  Men are expendable commodities whose function is to protect those resources, at all costs.

So how does it feel to know that someone's kid in the heart of america has blood on their hands to defend your rights so you can maintain a lifestyle that insults his family's existence?

Never has a human being brought more Joie de vivre to any game, anywhere.  To watch Favre play was to see someone sublimely in love with what he is doing, who he is doing it with, and those watching him do it.

We shall not see his kind again.

yeah, I know exactly what you mean.  whenever he took more than a three step drop, something big was going to happen.   you just never knew if it would be good or bad. :-)

I saw it.

Brett Favre was almost joy in a bottle when it came to him and football.
