On October 10, 1969, a young boy was born in Gulfport, Mississippi. He was raised in a small town named Kiln, Mississippi. Well, that little boy, became the great quarterback, Brett Favre, of the Green Bay Packers. He Started every game for the Packers from 1992-2007. During that span, the Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl XXXI. They also advanced to the following Super Bowl, yet lost. In 2008, Favre retired for the first time. However, he returned, from retirement, to play for the New York Jets, during the 2008 NFL Season. The Jets missed the playoffs that year, and he retired again. However, he returned from that retirement and joined the Minnesota Vikings. The season he had with the Vikings was his best ever. He passed for 4202 yards, had an average Quarterback Rating of 107.2, and completed 68% of his passes. The Vikings advanced to the NFC Championship. If it wasn't for six fumbles and a few controversial questionable calls, the Vikings would have advanced to the Super Bowl. However, despite all the fumbles, and all the bad calls, (Favre himself has acknowledged this), if he didn't throw that INT, things would've been much different. Well, does this star end his career on an INT? You may be wondering that right now. However, I don't think about how his career ended(that INT), I just remember all that was good about it. So, NFL fans, I hope you have enjoyed watching Brett Favre as much as I have. Because that NFC Championship game against the New Orleans Saints on January 24, 2010 was, indeed, his last game.
