...Brett Favre

I'm so sad to report that the streak is over. After 18 years and 297 consecutive starts in a sport as hard and brutal on the body, Brett Favre failed to start due to an injury. Brett Favre as we know is my football hero. I love watching him play and I know that this may be his last season and it saddens me, but his streak ending saddens me even more because some think that he may not be able to return for anymore games this season. Is it wrong to feel like you want to cry? A little sad? A little angry? A little bitter? I mean if T.O. can cry about his quarterback I think I can as well. He has had a laundry list of injuries, and he has always come back and played. Here are just some of his injures:

They would not let him suit up and take a snap? He did not want to but I am sure he could have been talked into it. Maybe Peyton Manning will get injured and he will not be able to break the record, who knows. For now it is all Brett's. I am giving this news 2 Digits Down. I can see the sunset nearing.... The video below gets it.
