Brett Favre End of an Era

Last summer we were watching the Bret Favre Saga unfold, would he come back or would he stay in retirement.

I posted a couple of articles about Bret and where he might en up playing. As we all know he did come back and play for the Jets, but now he has once again retired.

I think this time he is retired with no thoughts of a come back. Like Bret said, he wants to play, but his body will not take any more. His injury this season has brought an illustrious career to and end and the end of the Brett Favre era.

I have enjoyed watching Favre his entire career, he was special, he brought an enthusiasm to the game that is not often sen is sports today. You could tell this man loved the game and loved being on the field.

His career was special starting so many games, he reminded me of another great player, base ball's Lou Gehrig, known as the Iron Man.

Sports in general and football in particular has really lost a great one with Bret Favre retiring, not so much because of what he did on the field, more because of the love of the game and the passion with which he played.

I think that is what I will miss most about Favre, his passion for the game and how much fun he had while playing the game, which made watching Brett Favre play alot of fun.
