Brett Favre

The regular season of the NFL is over and once again, Brett Favre is retiring. Every year since 2007 he has retired, and every season he believes he can come back and do it again. He went to the Jets in 08, only to have a dissapointing season. He started the season off having one of the best of his career, only to finish the season with a 1-4 record and missing the playoffs. 

And again he retires, only to come back to the Minnesota Vikings and have his best season statistically in his 20 year career. Throwing for 33 TD's and only 7 INT's taking his team all the way to the NFC Championship only to lose on a game winning FG in overtime to the super bowl champioin New Orleans Saints.

Being the smart man the Brett his, he reitred again going out on top this time.  But the Viking captains: Jared Allen, Steve Hutchinson, and Ryan Longwell flew to his house in Mississippi and convinced him out of retirement. Only so he could go from one of the top quarterbacks, who has NFL records for most passing yards, most TD's and most consecutive starts, to his worst season ever. Missing his first ever game after being hit by Buffalo linebacker Arthur Moats and then a week later given a concussion after being sacked by Bears DE Corey Wooton. 

It was one of the worst things to see, one of the greatest quarterbacks ever being helped off the field, looking miserable. Me and just about every football fan are sick of the same thing every offseason, Favre retires, Favre comes out of retirement.  Every year its the same thing. We all know your one of the greatest ever, you have nothing else to prove.  Watching Brett play this season was like watching a giraffe slowly die.  It was very depressing.  It wasn't the same joyful kid were used to seeing, running up and down the field lifting the receivers high in the air after a touchdown pass.  Just give up Favre, your career is over.
