Mentions of "Gunslinger" on Telecasts Are Now Down 92%

It is finished. Brett Favre is no longer a Packer. He is finished as a quarterback in the NFL. He was one of the best (a poll on Fox Sports had him ranked 1st all time with Joe Montana in second). It will definitely be different to see someone else at under center in green and gold.

I think he chose to leave at the perfect time. If he chose to leave a couple of years ago, when everyone told him to retire, his career would have been slightly tarnished due to the fact he was "playing past his prime". But now, with the TD record in hand, and just one year removed from a playoff run, he can retire on the top tier of NFL QB's.

Personally I did not care for Favre. I hated how I heard the MNF crew say the word "gunslinger" about 65 times in a half when the Pack where playing. I do realize that I was watching a great QB play. And I am glad I appreciated the legacy of #4.

Let the legacy of Aaron Rodgers begin!
