Knuckles, You Go Long…
Published 3/11/2008 by Dave at Dave's Football Blog
I know, I know. You’re all sick to death of the endless stream of sycophantic babble about the now-retired Brett Favre. You don’t need to be reminded that he threw a lot of interceptions.

Brett Favre's Retirement Speech

Rover found this 3/6/2008 on awfulannouncing.blogspot.com

As a Non-Packers Fan it was tough for me to understand how tough this was for people of Wisconsin, but I think I kind of understand now. Brett Favre is finishing up his teary retirement speech and it's pretty tough to watch without getting choked up yourself. I'll have the video up in a few if you missed it. "No regrets. I played the game one way. The only way I knew how."
