    You're right. Far as I know, Brett never took performance enhancing drugs.

    It sucks to see him go. I wish it was Green Bay Vs New England. I really wanted to see the Brady Vs Favre game. I guess that won't happen now. Farve had an excellent career. Broke just about every record a QB could break known to man.

    Lance Armstrong was no Brett Favre.

    Interestingly, neither of them was a Pele.

    Pele, on the other hand, was no Wilt Chamberlain, who (in his turn) was no Billie Jean King.

    sorry skizo
    i think he did the right thing. he looks like he is 50 years old. not to take away from what he has done, but i think it should have been done for him last year.

    Ignoring the stats- minutiae more suitable for baseball anyway, IMO- what Favre brought to the game was simply gee-whiz exuberance.

    He always looked like he thought it was fuckin cool to suit up and get to play a game on Sunday for a living...Favre was the avatar of all us regular slobs who sat on the couch and watched.

    He will be missed.

    And at all of that, he was indisputably the best of all-time.

    Couldn't have said it better myself, sir.
