We've Also Seen the Last of Brett Favre

by Shrug on Mar 4, 2008 7:48 AM PST

The Packers' quarterback is done. His team's spanking of the Seahawks in last year's divisional round will therefore stand as his last professional victory.

When he wasn't playing us, I had a whole lot of admiration and respect for Brett Favre. He looked like he was having fun. He was the anti-Ryan Leaf. Then again, anybody who signed a Christmas card was by definition the anti-Ryan Leaf. But not many could throw the ball.

His cinematic high point was his role as the ex-boyfriend the Farrelly Brothers' There's Something About Mary.

Two of my ex-girlfriends had obsessions with Brett Favre which made me somewhat uncomfortable.

Anyway, Wisconsin's gonna be melancholy today. Try to wrap up business early. Happy trails.

Well

John Madden: Brett Favre is Brett Favre and only Favre can retire better than Favre. I've never seen a guy retire better than Brett Favre. Brett Favre may have had the greatest retirement announcement I've ever heard of and of course it will come from Brett Favre.

Favre Favre Favre Favre Favre.

Heh

I feel a meme coming on. Like those things on MySpace where you're supposed to replace one word in a movie title with "penis" or something.

"A Favre for All Seasons"?

In which Brett Favre takes up hockey, I suppose, and then baseball. (Dude has the arm and the toughness to play catcher.)

You know who else had his last

professional victory come at the expense of the Hawks in the playoffs?

Dan Marino.

Maybe we should

lose on purpose to the Pats next season!

Brett Favre was a warrior.

Yeah, he was always too hyped up but I respected the guy because he wasn't just a pretty boy bitch like Brady or Romo. He was a working man, an average joe who just happened to be really good at playing football. Dude will be missed, except for his maddening (no pun intended) proficiency to beat the Hawks in the playoffs.
