Brett Favre retiring from the NFL after 17 seasons
Wow, this is a historic day.
Sometimes sports has a way of entering into the world of pop culture, and while it may be borderline, the fact that Brett Favre is retiring from the NFL after playing for an amazing 17 seasons, I felt it was worth noting here.
Heck, Brett Favre made some of the best commercials ever. My favorite one, which a friend recently reminded me of, what his infamous Mastercard Monday Morning Quarterback commercial:
“I’d have double-bagged it.”
Now that is priceless!
I’ve lived in Arizona my entire life, so there is no real reason that I’m a huge fan of Brett Favre other than I love the guy for who he is and how he’s played the game.
He’s competitive and tough, but plays like a kid who just discovered a newfound love for football. He flashes a smile everywhere he goes.
He’s one of the few NFL quarterbacks playing right now where the defense respects him enough to pull him to his feet after they sack him.
That’s awesome.
The guy played for 17 seasons! That’s amazing. He holds a bunch of records now, for passing yards, touchdowns, number of starts, you name it, he’s done it.
I think the league will miss the guy a lot and so will the fans. To me he represented one of the last old school guys in the league and it’s a bummer to see him finally step down.
The great part of all this to me is that he’s doing it with his head held high, after taking his team to a 13-3 season and making it into the second round of the playoffs. A nice way to go out.
Hopefully he returns to the NFL in some capacity, like an announcer or color analyst…because I think we still need him around.
We’ll miss you Brett, enjoy your first year off from training camp in quite a long time.
