Can Retirement Be Far Behind?

Brett Favre was listed on Minnesota's inactive list with an injury that snapped his National Football League record for consecutive starts at 297, dating back to September 20, 1992 with the Green Bay Packers.

Age catches up with us all. In any case, over 18 years without missing a start is quite an accomplishment in such a beat-em-up sport.

Brett, thanks for a lot of memories of all kinds, even as a Viking.

And, since it has been posted at least half a gazillion times, I will not post the video of the roof collapse at the Metrodome. I will just say that the roof caving in is a good metaphor for the Vikings season.
