A Sad Day in the NFL

It is a sad day in the NFL today as the agent of Brett Favre announces that he will retire after playing one season with the New York Jets.

As a long time Packer fan and Brett Favre supporter, I am sad to see what I believe to be the end of an era. By far the toughest quarterback to ever play the game, the record holder for most touchdowns and most consecutive starts will retire and leave a huge hole in the National Football League.

Although it was hard to watch Brett leave Green Bay and play for the Jets, I had to appreciate his passion for the game and the fact that all he wanted to do was play. As far as i'm concerned, it was better to watch Brett play for another team, than not at all. I would have like to see Brett officially retire with the Packers, and who knows, maybe he can pull a "Jerry Rice" and get resigned with the Pack for one more day so that he can end his career with the greatest franchise in the history of sports.
