He has been a professional athlete for over 20 years in the NFL and has reached some personal marks that are going to be very hard to break. Favre is the only NFL quarterback to throw over 70,000 yards and as of this Monday Night Football game, he is the only player to have reached and surpass the 500 touchdown pass mark.
He has his flaws too. While he holds the record for most careers completed passes and touchdown passes and he also sustains the records for throwing the most interceptions and for suffering the most fumbles, but heck, the 41 year-old-man from Gulport Mississippi is a living legend.
Every beginning of the season for the last 4 years, he has come out and completed his whole circus on whether he is going to retire or comeback and give the fans one more season. Heck, we are talking about a guy who has made an NFL record 289 consecutive starts. For those of us not to great with numbers, this goes as far back as 1992.
Now, despite what he showed in the last two quarters of his NFL game against the New York Giants, Brett Favre is not having the best year ever. His passers rating is at a career low 67 percent, and as if that was not enough, his off the field shenanigans have finally caught up with him.
Perhaps following a Tiger Woods like scenario, the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has started an NFL investigation in regards to the alleged messages that he sent Jenn Sterger, a model, online reporter and minor-role actress who had been hired by the New York Jets as a game-day hostess. The rumors is that he sent the stunning brunette some lewd photos and sexually explicit text messages to Sterger.
There has not been an official review by the NFL and it is still uncertain if Sterger will follow up with a legal suit. We will keep you informed as the story unfolds as this might be the incident that puts an end to his outstanding record of most consecutive starts for any NFL player.
