NOOOOO!!!!!!

Sad news for Bears fans today, as it appears Brett Favre is really retiring. Why is this sad for the loyal followers of the "Monsters of the Midway"?

6-2....

Yes, say it again

6-2...

That is the Bears record against Favre since Lovie Smith took over as head coach. After the dismal Wannstedt and Jauron years, Favre lost his Bear-killer title and became a quarterback not so feared by this Chicago fan.

Rex Grossman has a winning record against him. Kyle Orton does as well. Hell, even Brian Griese beat him last fall. And each victory usually included some dumbass interception by Favre that eventually cost his team the game.

Seriously, I wish Mr. Favre the best luck in his future endeavors. There was a time there in the early '00s where I thought the Packers would keep him well into the next decade, if only to come off the bench and torch the Bears. Fortunately, his career against the Bears took a downward turn, but I can't say I'm really going to miss him. Unless the next Packers quarterback goes on another 11 game winning streak.
