I'll close this one - someone start a new one.

I hope the Stealers don't cheat again next season.

Records and milestones
At the end of the 2008 regular season, Favre owned or shared most of the well-known NFL career records for quarterbacks, including:

• Consecutive starts by a quarterback: 269 (291 including playoffs)
• Games started by a quarterback: 269 (291 including playoffs)
• Career regular-season victories by a starting quarterback: 169 (Regular-season record: 169-100)
• Career passing touchdowns: 464
• Career passing yards: 65,127
• Career pass completions: 5,720
• Career pass attempts: 9,280
• Career interceptions thrown: 310
• Career games with at least three touchdowns: 65
• AP NFL MVP awards: 3 (1995, 1996, 1997) (tied with Peyton Manning)
• Career playoff interceptions thrown: 28 (tied with Jim Kelly)
• Career playoff losses as starting QB: 10 (tied with Dan Marino)

Favre is one of four quarterbacks to lead the league in touchdown passes four times. The others are Johnny Unitas, Len Dawson and Steve Young.

Favre is one of three NFL quarterbacks to have beaten all 31 other NFL teams in his career.

In addition, Favre owns a number of team records, having printed his name into almost every passing category in the annals of Green Bay Packers history. Most recently, he set the team record for consecutive completions with 20 on November 22, 2007, against the Detroit Lions. With 39 "come-from-behind" 4th-quarter wins and three more overtime victories (Packers total of 40 makes him Green Bay record holder), Favre is second only to John Elway's 47 4th-quarter or OT "come-back wins," in NFL history.

No question that Brett has had a fabulous career. The most difficult thing to do is retire. More importantly, knowing WHEN its time to retire. Brett has always had a rocket for an arm and even into his late thirties has played at a high level in the NFL. But Brett has to be realistic and he knows he's not 25 anymore. I think that if he decides to come back and play another year after calling it quits again this year, anything he does short of winning a Super Bowl could tarnish his impressive career.

Favre certainly had an incredible career. I hope he finds peace with his retirement. I really feel at some point he may get that "playing" feeling again. I just don't think he will act on it.

VERY interesting article...

Do juiced-up Steelers teams deserve asteriks?

There were a number of players that did Steroids in the seventies, not just on the Steelers, other teams too.

I heard an interview with a guy that suggested that Philly could be trigger shy going after a big name receiver after the TO debacle, and that they might be doubly trigger shy of Harrison because he isn't trigger shy.

Redskins got Haynesworth!

We've all panned Dan Snyder for his big spending ways but this is a big ticket investment that actually makes sense for the Redskins. If you want to fix your defense, you have to start at interior DL and Haynesworth is one of the best - when he's not stepping on other players' heads (literally) .
