Chicago Bears fans will always remember not only the final game of Favre's career, but undoubtedly the final play. It was the 2nd quarter of a Monday Night Football game being played at TFC Sta...

Serving as a speaker at an Athletics Luncheon at SMU in Dallas, Favre addressed several ideas regarding quarterback play and Tony Romo in particular. Favre was quoted several times by the Dallas Morning News. "It’s the ultimate team sport," said Favre... "I think it’s misleading to say that a quarterback has wins and losses and say he was a part of one playoff victory. I think there are a lot of factors that go into the success of not only Tony Romo but any player. Just what little bit I’ve watched the last couple of years, it seems like they were a little bit in disarray offensively...

Before Rick Spielman was named GM, the Vikings were usually big players in free agency. They paid top dollar for guys like Steve Hutchinson, Chester Taylor, Bernard Berrian, Madieu Williams, and Brett Favre. They also made a big trade in 2008 to acquire Jared Allen, and it took the Vikings to within a whisper of the Super Bowl in 2009. But since then, Rick Spielman has slowly used the draft to re-build a Vikings roster that was being overcome with age, declining play, and lack of depth. As players like Favre, Taylor, Williams, and Hutch left they were replaced with Christian Ponder,...
