The NFL has lost one of its best ever players, spokesman, idol, etc... Brett Favre decided to finally walk away from football after 17 seasons. I think it was a good decision on his part to go out now after the year he just had in the NFL. Some may say that they would not of retired after the interception he threw in the New York Giants game that ultimately lost the game for the Packers. I do agree that he probably would of stayed if Green Bay would of went and got Randy Moss. Either way, I will miss his smile, enthusiasm, kid-like play, and the way he carried himself as a professional athlete. The NFL, Green Bay Packers, and all football fans will miss him every Sunday. He will go down in my book as one of the best quarterbacks ever to play the game. Enjoy the pictures and hope you read the article.
