Green Bay Packers Quarterback Brett Favre Retires After Brilliant Career

I consider Brett Favre to be one of the greatest, most inspirational, tough as nails quarterbacks of all time. He was truly an asset to the game.

Congratulations to him on a brilliant career.

Packers’ great Favre retires

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre has retired after 17 record-breaking seasons, saying the stress of living up to his high standards had become too much.

“I know I can still play but it’s like I told my wife, I’m just tired mentally,” the 38-year-old told ESPN television on Tuesday.

“Physically I feel okay but the stress of studying (game film) every week has gotten too much and the more stressful it got, well I’m always trying to top what I’d done the previous week.”

Favre’s decision came as something of a shock following one of the best seasons of his Hall of Fame career, as he passed for 4,155 yards and 28 touchdowns.

The veteran had strongly hinted he would return for at least one more season after leading the Packers to a 13-3 record and the NFC title game where they lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants in overtime.

FINAL CAMPAIGN

Favre, who started 275 consecutive regular season and playoff games, broke NFL records in his final campaign for most touchdown passes (442), passing yards (61,655), pass completions (5,377) and games with at least three touchdown passes (63).

“He has had one of the greatest careers in the history of the National Football League and he is able to walk away from the game on his own terms, not many players are able to do that,” general manager Ted Thompson told the team’s Web site (www.packers.com).

“The Packers owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude. He has given Packers fans wonderful memories, a Super Bowl championship among them, that will live forever.”

The league’s only triple Most Valuable Player, Favre led the Packers to the 1997 Super Bowl title and was named to nine Pro Bowl teams.

While Favre’s records, titles and numerous honors mark him out as one of the all-time greats, it was his grit and passion for the game that made the cannon-armed quarterback a fan favorite.

“Brett’s many accomplishments on the field are legendary,” said Thompson. “He leaves the game holding virtually every career passing record, plus his consecutive starts streak, which may never be duplicated.

“The uniqueness of Brett Favre, his personality, charisma and love of the game, undoubtedly will leave him as one of the enduring figures in NFL history.”

Here is more evidence the Liberals are all batty.

The only answer to this kind of violence is tougher baseball bat laws.

The Weather Channel Founder Advocates Suing Al Gore To Expose The Fraud Of Global Warming

Let’s see, Al Gore is the Chairman and majority stock holder in the largest “carbon credit” selling company in the world Generation Investment Management. I think John Coleman may be on to something.

The fraud of Global Warming is a convenient lie to cover a broad political agenda and “carbon credits” are nothing more than the modern day equivalent of “snake oil”.

Weather Channel Founder Blasts Network; Claims It Is ‘Telling Us What to Think’

The Weather Channel has lost its way, according to John Coleman, who founded the channel in 1982.

Coleman told an audience at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 3 in New York that he is highly critical of global warming alarmism.

“The Weather Channel had great promise, and that’s all gone now because they’ve made every mistake in the book on what they’ve done and how they’ve done it and it’s very sad,” Coleman said. “It’s now for sale and there’s a new owner of The Weather Channel will be announced – several billion dollars having changed hands in the near future. Let’s hope the new owners can recapture the vision and stop reporting the traffic, telling us what to think and start giving us useful weather information.”

The Weather Channel has been an outlet for global warming alarmism. In December 2006, The Weather Channel’s Heidi Cullen argued on her blog that weathercasters who had doubts about human influence on global warming should be punished with decertification by the American Meteorological Society.

Coleman also told the audience his strategy for exposing what he called “the fraud of global warming.” He advocated suing those who sell carbon credits, which would force global warming alarmists to give a more honest account of the policies they propose.

“[I] have a feeling this is the opening,” Coleman said. “If the lawyers will take the case – sue the people who sell carbon credits. That includes Al Gore. That lawsuit would get so much publicity, so much media attention. And as the experts went to the media stand to testify, I feel like that could become the vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming.”

Earlier at the conference Lord Christopher Monckton, a policy adviser to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, told an audience that the science will eventually prevail and the “scare” of global warming will go away. He also said the courts were a good avenue to show the science.
