Well friends, we've gone through a week that frankly, I never thought I'd see: it was the week that Brett Favre retired.  In case you missed any of the 97 hours of coverage yesterday, you can catch Brett "having a moment" at his retirement speech. 

For all the fun we've had at Favre's expense over the last 5 years, he really was a unique player.  Sure, more than 90% of the fun we've had and written about has come via the media's infatuation with the Gunslinger, but Brett contributed to a slim portion of it, too. 

In the end, Favre believed the media hype and kinda sorta became a caricature of himself.  The forced celebrations became obvious and the way he waffled over retirement with the media the two previous seasons was annoying.  Sure enough, he picked 2006 Draft weekend to "come back" and the Super Bowl in February 2007 to "come back", but in the big picture, Favre's slim contributions to the Media/Favre Phenomenon is nothing compared to Berman, Petey King, Madden and the others who have enhanced HIS legacy. 

All that said, it truly is going to be different watching football without his royal highness Fav-ruh.  I still say he plays another regular season game, as he pointed out on more than 5 occasions yesterday that he can "still play".  However, my opinion means nothing... especially when my job right now is to help you the reader celebrate the Favre legacy. 

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the majesty of Brett Favre's negburns. 



He truly is having fun out there!

Oh, and what would Favre week be, without a montage of his greatest interceptions?!?!?

"SIMPLY THE BEST!"
