Brett Favre

Mr. Favre was unable to star on Monday due to a shoulder injury.  Brett is maybe the top quarterback (at least in the top five to play the position since the merger 1970.  People had a love-hate relationship with Favre,  until the last three years, people liked and respected him.  After that I think a lot of fans had gotten frustrated with the fact that he was playing beyond his usefulness, he just didn't know what else to do.  He played through all kinds of injuries, for the love of the game.  Maybe he should have hung it up three years ago,  he should definitely have hung up his helmet for good after loosing the NFC championship last year.  This year the Vikings came to get him in desperation because they knew they didn't have a quarterback and maybe a team without him.  But this season their was no magic left in his arm, no more records to be had.  This season the injuries (ankle, shoulder, etc) just got to him, he couldn't play through them any more.  He still has and most likely will always have a the record of 297 consecutive games started, that is on of the great records in sports.
