My wife sums up Favre's career
As my wife and I watched the Saints celebrate their victory over the Vikings, I said to her, “There is no way he retires on the play.”
But before I could formulate a foundation for my argument, she summed it all up.
“Maybe he is destined to go out that way.”
Brett Favre’s final throw as a Packer was an interception which led to the Green and Gold’s playoff demise in the 2008 NFC Championship game against the New York Giants.
Two years later, on Sunday, he ended what could have been the Vikings’ game-winning drive with an interception. The Saints went on to win the game in OT.
So, for all of his accomplishments and all of his records, could it be fitting that Favre’s career ends on an interception?
Favre is no doubt a hero to many, but not all heros deserve a happy ending. Especially heros that earned their reputation as a gunslinger.
Oh yes….Life usually doesn’t play out like it does in the movies. Your wife sounds pretty wise.
