I host a sports talk show called the “Seventh Inning Stretch” on WSUP and last semester we discussed which National Football League quarterback each of the people involved would want to win a big game. On Jan. 24, Brett Favre proved exactly why he is not the best quarterback in NFL history as some people label him. The reason that players such as Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are better is because they do not throw interceptions at the biggest moment of a game.

Following the Vikings’ 31-28 loss in the National Football Conference Championship game in the Superdome, Brett Favre is still the quarterback that holds all of the records, but has just one Super Bowl ring because more times than not in the playoffs he does not perform in the clutch.

No Packer fan will soon forget the interception Favre threw against the Giants in the 2007 NFC Championship game. It was the last pass he ever threw in the green and gold, and fittingly he completed it to a defensive back from the opposing team.

Now that Favre and the Vikings’ season is over they really do not go into the off season, they go into what the Packers and the Jets are both glad they are not involved in anymore. Obviously I am talking about the three ring circus that occurs every year when Favre’s season is over.

The question is not will Brett Favre retire? The question is simply will he be playing next season? This does not make much sense, but neither does Brett Favre. He very well may retire, but as the Packers and the Jets have now learned, that does not mean the end of Favre’s career.

Nobody knows what Brett Favre will do, when he will do it, or if it will be his final decision (probably not), but Packer fans should know that they have the best quarterback in the NFC North. The Packers have a great long-term plan with Aaron Rodgers under center, while the Vikings probably have one year left at the most of Brett Favre and then they will need to find a long term solution at the quarterback position, which before Favre was a big problem for Minnesota.
