Today Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Brett Favre has announced that he is retiring, for real this time. For several years he has contemplated retirement, but always came back because of his love for the game. He had his critics, but he disproved them last year by having a phenomenal season. Sadly, without a potent running game the Packers weren’t able to win a championship, which is all Favre has wanted in recent years. He already has a ring, but he wanted to end his career on a high note. Even without winning last year I think it is clear that he has left on a high note. I see Favre as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game in terms of skill, leadership, and being a good respect. I truly respect the guy and I think most football fans do. It will be sad to see him go, but number 4’s legacy will live on. By the way, this might be a good time to go out and get one of Brett Favre's jerseys.
