He Just Doesn't Have It Anymore!

That is how my father would describe Brett Favre.  My father began using this description about the time that Brett Favre was winning three consecutive Most Valuable Player awards in the National Football League.  In fact, one of his last vocalizations related to his usual description of Brett Favre.  A few days before my father passed away (several years ago), the Green Bay Packers were enduring a poor season.  The Packers pulled an upset against the Atlanta Falcons, from whom the Packers aquired Brett Favre.  When I informed my father of the Packer victory, his response was "Brett Favre...he just doesn't have it anymore!"

Well, my father just may have been right.  Favre's last pass with the Packers was a completion - to a player on the New Yourk Giants in an NFC championship game.  After the interception, the Giants kicked the winning field goal in overtime.  On Sunday evening, what may very well be Brett Favre's last pass as a Viking was a completion - to a player on the New Orlean Saints - when the Vikings were preparing to attempt a field goal to win the game in regulation.  The game went into overtime, the Saints got the ball and marched right down the field to kick a field goal.

My father was right!
