The Streak Ends
Brett Favre could improvise like John Coltrane, if you don't count the interceptions.
(Page 2 of 2)
He also holds the record for most interceptions (288); unlike John Coltrane, Favre's improvisations didn't always work.
Still, Favre's high-risk style came with high rewards. In 1996 he helped Green Bay win its first Super Bowl in 29 years. He very nearly did it again this year.
Packer fans need not worry too much. The Packers are a talented team, and they have a promising replacement quarterback -- no, not a replacement, a successor -- in Aaron Rodgers.
Join me in thanking Brett Favre for all the great memories he has given us, and in wishing him well in his post-football life.
