Sad day for the NFL
2007 SI Sportsman of the year Brett Favre announced his retirement today.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre has decided to hang it up. Favre's legendary career spanned 17 years, including 253 consecutive regular season starts, an NFL record.
Favre led the Packers to a Super Bowl victory in 1996 and holds virtually every major passing record. In his career, Favre threw for 61,655 yards and 442 touchdowns, both NFL records. No quarterback led his team to more victories (160).
"He has had one of the greatest careers in the history of the National Football League, and he is able to walk away from the game on his own terms. Not many players are able to do that," the team said in a statement. "The Packers owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude. He has given Packers fans 16 years of wonderful memories, a Super Bowl championship among them, that will live on forever."
It is hard to imagine a Packers game without Brett Favre. He is one of the most beloved athletes in the country. Favre will surely be a first-ballot Hall of Famer and will go down as one of the best quarterbacks ever.
Seventeen years is a long time to do anything. Good luck to the man and hopefully he won't turn into a goofball like Terry Bradshaw did.
Two things, 1) Hugh Hewitt is talking trash about the lack of a Protestant work ethic as the cause of the 3rd world conditions in some Latin American countries. He said something like because they were Catholic countries they lacked the Protestant work ethic.
ReplyDelete2) Even worse than that, he is talking trash about Steeler Fans might be responsible for choosing the democratic nominee. Some of us can't read he says. That mutha . . .
I can take the Catholic slight, but the Steeler slam is too much.
Well, here's my reaction to Mr. Double-H:
ReplyDeleteHugh Hewitt is an ex-Catholic who can't help bashing the Catholic Church. He especially likes to drag out straw men to accomplish this feat. There are many non-catholics who are fed up with him.
Maybe he thinks that if Castro and Chavez "got saved" it would change everything in their countries.
The "protestant work ethic" is not going to help anyone unless we outbreed these Muslim bastards. Let's all have 2 kids like Doctor Dumb-ass Dobson and pretend we're family psychology experts.
Mitt Romney is rich, but he lost to McCain, and...
Finally, the Browns SUCK.
F&%!en A!!!
