Say it Ain't So

I thought I would be the last one to come out with this statement, but it is time for the great Brett Favre to end his outstanding career. After the way he played during the 2009 football season(33 touchdown passes and only 7 interceptions), I thought he could come back to be productive again this campaign. But say it ain't so. After 10 games and a 3 and 7 record with a virtually almost impossible shot at making the playoffs, it may be time for the Vikings to begin playing their back-up quarterbacks. Favre has 10 touchdown passes and 16 interceptions, his ankle looks to be bothering him, and his arm strength is not like it used to be. His incredible stretch of starts continues on(295). He has never missed starting a game since this streak began with his first start on September 27, 1992. At 41 years old, Brett Favre is a true warrior. Favre has 1 Super Bowl under his belt, has been elected to the Pro Bowl a phenomenal 11 times, and is the only quarterback in NFL history to have a victory over all 32 teams in the league. There are numerous others records he has set. I would actually like to see Favre break into the coaching ranks as a QB coach for some NCAA Division 1 program. Imagine if you are a potential Division 1 recruit and Brett Favre walks into your home or shows up at your high school to recruit you. It would not surprise me if Favre plays in 2011, but I think he has a great life ahead of him after football.
