Farewell to Favre

Yesterday, Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre gave a press conference to officially mark his retirement. He spoke from the heart and as his voice quavered with emotion, it genuinely touched anyone who watched or listened. You could feel the true sense of loss he felt walking away from his first love and true passion. He exited the game in the manner he had always played it...with integrity, passion and honesty. Unlike many sports stars who are all flash and cash, Brett touched peoples' spirits. Yes, he set records with his laser-focused arm, but what will be remembered long after those records have been broken is a gentle man who gave himself unselfishly to the pure love of the game.
