Brett Favre’s NFL Obituary

brett favre obituary

As a lifelong Brett Favre fan March 4th, 2008 will go down as one of the saddest days of my life. Yesterday, one of the greatest decided it was time to hang it up and it truly marks the end of an era.

Favre was one of the last gun-slinging, non pre-Madonna quarterbacks (err read: JaMarcus Russell).

He films low-budget commercials for local mom and pop businesses and is married to New York Times Best Selling author, Deanna Favre. Read More »
