More on Brett Favre
Description from Wikipedia:
Brett Lorenzo Favre (pronounced: /ˈfɑrv/) (born October 10, 1969, in ) is an American football quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. He was the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers between 1992 and 2007 and the New York Jets in 2008.
Favre started at the quarterback position for the University of Southern Mississippi for four years before being selected in the second round of the 1991 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons (33rd overall). After one season with the Falcons, Favre was traded to the Green Bay Packers on February 10, 1992, for the 19th pick in the 1992 NFL Draft. He became the Packers' starting quarterback in the fourth game of the 1992 season, starting every game from then until his retirement in 2008. In 2008, Favre came out of retirement, was traded to the New York Jets, and continued his consecutive start streak. On February 11, 2009, Favre told the New York Jets that he was again retiring. He came out of retirement for the second time and signed with the Minnesota Vikings on August 18, 2009. When Favre un-retired for the second time, some in the sports world claimed his legacy as a football player has become overshadowed by his need for attention.
He holds many NFL records including: most career touchdown passes (467), most career passing yards (65,392), most career pass completions (5,757), most career pass attempts (9,328), most career interceptions thrown (310), most consecutive starts (271), and most career victories as a starting quarterback (171).
