It’s the news EVERY Minnesota Vikings fan wants to hear: Brett Favre is FINALLY hanging up his cleats for good. Brett Favre told his agents to tell the Jets he’s done. Favre played for the evil Green Bay Packers for 15 seasons. He’s a football institution.

As much as the Viking in me hates him, I do appreciate the passion and skill he brings to the game. He’s one of the only pro athletes I know that would get sacked by a man who weighs twice as much as him, then pop back up, laugh and do it again (except he’d score a touchdown).

He’s been playing the retirement card for 4-5 years now. I think it’s time he actually does it. He’s getting old… and while he’s not as good as he once was, he’s still a great player. Why not go out on top?

Good luck Number 4… I hope you actually retire this time around.
