The Last Photo of Favre on the field?

So long Old man..

[Rush]

Sad to see him go to be honest. He was fucking awesome. Wish he didn't tarnish some of his legacy by hanging around this season though.

[dave]

I hope so, but somehow I doubt it.
He loves the attention.

[Cody]

I actually think he's done. He should of retired with Green Bay.

[Diivox]

nah, it was time for him to go in Green Bay, but can't fault him for coming back for one more season. He had to know. And now he knows. Won't be any fake retirement this time, theres no doubt he's done.

It's better to be certain you got nothing left, than to feel like you left something on the table.

Happy to see him go. I loved the guy until about 2004, then he just got annoying.

[Derrville]

Probably my favorite non Cowboy player of all time. No matter what uniform he wore.

What? He had one of the most productive years of his career last year, and came one pass away from playing for a Super Bowl.

Frankly, part of me can't fault the guy for being a "attention whore". Get ready for some cliches here, but the man just loved the game. He tried to call it quits multiple times, but the love of the game just kept bringing him back for one more year, one more year. He was the toughest son of a bitch I've ever seen... the mere fact that he made it through 297 consecutive games is absolutely outstanding. He outlasted 3 Presidents, with the 4th being halfway through his term. No matter what the injury, you could always count on Brett to be on that field come Sunday, ready to give everything he had for the team.

Say what you want about the interceptions, the playoff meltdowns, and the diva effect that all of the media attention had on his retirements, but Brett was a legend. One of the best to ever take the field. When I'm asked about the best quarterbacks of all-time, Brett's name comes to mind as one of them. Sure, he didn't always take the greatest care of the ball, but he was always willing to take a chance, always willing to try and make something happen for his team, and for all of the interceptions that people love to talk about, he also managed to set the NFL's all-time touchdown passes record. He's the embodiment of everything that is great about this sport, whether its the overall love of the game, the excellence he displayed on the field each time, or the toughness he showed in the face of terrific injuries, Brett was simply one of the best.

The Favre hate is on par with if not more absurd than the Tebow hate. I was never a Packers fan, never truly hopped on the Favre bandwagon anywhere, but you gotta at least give respect to a player like Brett. First ballot HOFer no question IMO, and a great ambassador for the game.

I've lost count of the number if times I've uttered the prhase "Brett Favre is dead" in some shape or form this season.

[Blade]

Fuck that guy.

I agree, I'd probably do the same thing in his position.

Why retire when you know 2 more employers are willing to pay you $40 million to play 3 more years, under your rules and circumstances (no mini camps, no training camps, no dress code, ability to free lance and change plays, etc..)????

[jms493]

Sad to see him get banged around this year. He is like playing with your dad and you always checking to see if he alright.

Tough player!

I wonder how many concussions Favre has played through?
