Favre: The Legend

As most people know, Brett Favre has been the center of both mythology and controversy. Mythology for his entire career and controversy for the past few seasons. Brett Favre has been known as being that classic "gun-slinger" who can throw the dumbest interceptions but can also lead a team down a field and make the most amazing pass to win a game. Over the last few seasons, Favre retired, came back to the Packers, retired, came back to the Packers, retired, went to the Jets, retired, then finally came to the Vikings (that may not be the exactness but it's close enough). Through all these seasons of frustration for the fan and team owners, few thought Favre still had it in him to be the legend he was. Well, on Sunday night he proved them all wrong. With less than 2 minutes left and trailing the San Francisco 49ers 24-20, Favre did the impossible. He led his new team down the field to score and win. With the ball on the 49ers' 32 yard line and 10 seconds left to go in the game, Favre takes the snap, scrabbles a big then does what he is known for and "slings" one up and out of nowhere Lewis catches the ball in the back of the endzone for the game winning touchdown and probably catch of the year.
With that whole description of Favre play this brings me to the point where I can completely confirm all of Favre stupidity or lack of wisdom over the last few offseason as being his best decisions ever. He has proved that he should not be retiring anytime soon. This sport is part of him and he has forever left himself in the sport for the rest of us. Favre the Legend, he still exist.
