Favre is actually done with football this time. No more changing his mind, no more news confreneces, no more players begging for his return. He has filled out the paperwork, and turned it in. He is done. From the beginning of the 2010 season, he always said it would be his last. From the way this season played out, on and off the field, I think that is a good thing. Favre's NFL record 297 consecutive regular season starts ended in December due to injury. When he returned the following week, he was sidelined again by a concussion.
"Favre had one of his most disappointing seasons in 2010. He threw 19 touchdowns compared to 11 intereceptions and finished with his lowest completion percentage (60.6) since 2006. Favre also was fined $50,000 for not being forthright with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in an investigation involving alleged sexual harassment against a fellow former New York Jets employee (media personality Jenn Sterger) in 2008."
With sources reporting to FOXSports.com that Favre has filed his retirement forms, I honestly believe that this is the end. While this season did not go as planned and there was a lot of negative publicity following him, he will still be remembered as one of the best NFL quarterbacks. There is not question he made a tremendous impact in the NFL and that he will be an automatic Hall of Famer.
