Retirements

Today was the second retirement of a potential Hall of Fame quarterback this offseason, Steve McNair. I really wouldn't care about this, except for the fact that he played for the Ravens the past two years, my favorite NFL team. Steve McNair was excellent his first year here, leading us to a 13-3 record, but last year he was injured and played only 6 games. He was co-MVP one year, and went to 3 Pro Bowls, a Super Bowl, and passed important records. He came out of Alcorn State and played 13 years, being a leader and was very agressive, playing through injury.














Now since I mentioned the retirement of Steve McNair, I feel like I should mention the retirement that happened earlier this month about one of the best quarterbacks ever; Brett Favre. This quarterback broke every single significant record there is for a quarterback to pass, like touchdowns, passing yards, games started, ect. He has a Super Bowl ring and is going to be in the Hall of Fame on his first ballot, no doubt. Favre can still play, but he said he wasn't able to mentally. The Packers are going to have a hard time replacing him, but will have his jersey retired opening game of their season, on Monday Night Football.
