Favrewell !!!

March 6th, 2008. Green Bay Packer veteran Quarterback and one of my most favorite player Brett Favre retired from NFL after playing for around 17 seasons.
When the news surfaced couple of days earlier, i really didnt believe it. After all he had one of the better seasons playing football as he took the packers to NFC championship game. There has been so much said about his retirement that i really dont have to add much.
I rate him as one of the top 5 quarterbacks in the history of NFL only based on his toughness, passion,improvisation skills and a knowledge of the game. His inability to win more than 1 super bowl and his interceptions definitely rule him out of the top 3, though one can argue that he hasn't played for a team thats abundant with talent.
He reminds me of the way Australians used to play cricket(not recently as they are lacking toughness..)...
after all, Green Bay Packers are green and yellow/gold isn't it???
