You personify everything that is good in sports and how any sport should be played. I lived in Wisconsin for many years and I distinctly remember making a statement to my wife, after watching one of your games during your first season with the Packers. After yet another interception, I turned to her and said, "This guy will never make it in the NFL!" Has anyone in history, ever made a more incorrect statement? I doubt it. Since then, I have become one of your biggest fans and have thoroughly enjoyed watching you play. You are not only the best quarterback ever to put on pads, but most likely the best football player ever, in general. If you retire now, we will all be the worse for it. You have made your mark on the game and when you leave, the NFL will just not be as much fun. Realizing that I say this from a purely selfish perspective, I gotta ask you to come back for at least another year. We all know you are hurting from all the cheap shots the Saints laid on you, as well as the rigors of the season. But those pains will go away and before you know it everyone will be talking about the upcoming season. Based only your decision,Viking fans will be talking about 2011 being the year they finally get to the Superbowl, with you at the helm. On the other hand, they could be talking somberly about how many years it will take to find another leader under center who is capable of taking them there. The Vikings are your team.....all the pieces are in place....and you still have the moves and the arm of a 25 year old. If you decide to retire, I just want to thank you for the memories. But, I really hope you will be making more memories for all of us football fans, next season. God Bless you and your family! Jim Patton Dear Brett,

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 02:43:17 +0000 http://letterstobrettfavre.com/?p=416#comment-22 Brett, I have been and will always remain,a super fan. I grew up in Wisconsin and with you. This year, my 7 year old son and I flewall the way back to Minnesota to see your first game against the Packers in the Metrodome. Our hotel was full of people from all over the country who had done just the same - come to see you - if only for one more time in person. No other player inspires such passion. I know you're hurting now, in more ways than one - and I know the nay-sayers are out there - but please know there are legions of us who love and support you and will always stand by you and your decisions. I say see you next year, Brett and thanks for another great season! The NFL is much more fun with you in it.
