Haha. I guess he forgot at the end of the day the NFL is a business. I can't remember a great player coming out of retirement and actually doing something. He must be hooked on the cheese //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I was wrong. I didn't think he did much with the Wizards, but looking at his stats he was pretty solid. Which is crazy for someone his age. I mean I know its MJ, but still.

Reggie White

Ehh he only came back for a season and didn't do much.

since the interception thing was mentioned, thought i would add these impressive records

Fumbles:

3rd place with 147, only 14 behind Warren Moon and 6 behind Dave Kreig

**NOTE: Moon and Kreig also own the number 1&2 slots on the "fumbles recovered/career" list as well. Favre isnt even in the top 3 on any "recovered" list since he runs away like a child after he fumbles

Fumbles in a game:

Favre is tied for 2nd with 6 in a single game. Only Len Dawson has more with 7 in a game

not sure where your ifo came from but favre has 5377 completions to unitas' 2830 and has 21,000 more yards and 152 more TD's than him

Most likely he was posting showing that Unitas owned those records when he retired.

it just shows how mentally and physically tough he is to be able to not miss a game 12-13 seasons(however many it is)
Part of the reason he is so well respected

*Do pain killers factor in?!?

He retired twice ... The first time he came back, the Bulls went on to their 2nd Three-Peat (IIRC, in the 2nd year after his return) ...
Mario Lemieux would also be a good mentionable as well.

He was banned for gambling the time you're thinking of.

Second time he just wanted to be away from his wife.

How the hell is Brett Farve possibly the best QB of all time when he only has 1 Super Bowl ring.

Super Bowl wins > Statistics any day. Just ask Marino

Is Big Ben better than Marino? I love the Steelers but he is not. When he retires, he still won't be.

That's not what I meant. What I meant was, because Farve only won 1 super bowl his statistics will always be under rated. In other words, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman and Tom Brady will always be superior to Farve.

I don't recall him ever getting banned ... Regardless, he still retired ...

Uh no, he gets it done. He's not Brady or Manning, but he gets it done. 16 and 2 as a rookie and the Super Bowl winning QB the next.

but this is about Favre
