Favre Retires...Madden To Follow??

Well, as any casual observer noticed yesterday, legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre retired after 17 seasons in the NFL. His decision leaves people pondering why, as the Packers looked to be loaded next season with a young and talented team -- a team that was only a few minutes from reaching the Super Bowl this past season. Some speculate that Green Bay's failure to sign wide receiver Randy Moss weighed heavily into Favre's decision as he felt he really needed a reliable WR that could get open for him. Favre can't do it all by himself! He needs people to get open, otherwise he might make a bad pass... which might get intercepted... which might lead to losing the NFC Championship game...

I mean, look at this snapshot from the last pass in Brett Favre's career:
Obviously, Favre needed a Randy Moss on that play. None of his guys could get open (other than the 3 circled receivers who are all clearly wide open). We'll all miss you Brett!! I don't know if John Madden's heart can truly be in his broadcasting anymore without you...
