A legend has retired. Yesterday, the NFL and the Packers organization announced that Brett Favre is hanging up his cleats. After 17 years in the NFL, and owning almost every career passing record, he's decided it's time for family and to retire. While I was almost ready to "call in depressed" for work today, I find solace that I was able to watch such a fun guy play his heart out for so long. After all, now being at age 28, I can say I grew up watching Brett Favre, who started his first game for the Packers when I was 11 years old, and until this fall, has never missed a game. He's had some pretty good ones that we'll all remember, and some pretty crappy ones too, but that's what made him fun to watch.
I told Sarah last night that we need to plan our vacation to Canton, Ohio in three years from now when Favre will be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. He looked good in green and gold, and will look great in a yellow jacket as well.
