Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Brett Favre is retiring...again.

The rest of the talking heads can have fun making jokes and comparing Brett to the all-time greats.

I wanted to share this little tid-bit that I heard some time ago.

Favre was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons originally.

You didn't know that?

Maybe because he only threw four passes his entire time there. His first one for a TD...scored by the opposing defense who pick-sixed him.

So after than inglorious start Favre was traded to the Green Bay Packers.

But the interesting part of the trade was the physical.

It seems Farve had the same condition that ended the football career of Bo Jackson and the GM of the Packers took him anyway.

Farve ended up starting a record 269 consecutive starts in the NFL!

For all his other records and accomplishments I personally feel that has to take the cake!

So say what you will about the retirement drama and everything that happened last season...the guy is/was amazing.
