Brett Farve is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in the NFL.  Everybody knows that.  He is the ONLY reason, in my opinion, that Green Bay has even won ONE game this year.  He may be having an off season this year, but Green Bay is riddled with injuries.  I don't even know how many wide outs out of Green Bay's top five (for this year) are actually healthy.  I think there might two of them.  That's not giving him much to throw to, and that's why he has more picks than touchdowns this season.

Nonetheless, he's come a long way from Mississippi.  He was recruited by Southern Miss as a defensive back, and started out SEVENTH on the quarterback depth chart that year.  By the third game of his freshman year though, he was starting.  He soon became legendary in Hattiesburg, and is still considered the greatest player to ever play college ball there. 

But I don't think I need to go on and on about how great Brett Farve is.  Everybody who knows anything knows that the man is a living legend, and that he is a shoo in for the Hall of Fame.  Everybody who knows anything about the NFL knows who Brett Farve is.

What you may not have realized though, is that tomorrow night he will likely be playing the LAST prime time game of his storied career.  Green Bay has only three games left this season, and Monday night at Baltimore is one of them.  But even if Farve plays another year at the Packers, it is very unlikely that he will play another Monday night game.  Monday night tends to pick good teams from the season before to play.  In other words, since both Baltimore and Green Bay were good teams that had winning seasons last year, they can play each other this year on Monday night, even though they have a combined record of 7-19.  Next year, since both teams have had losing seasons, it's highly unlikely either one will be featured on a prime time game.  And it's doubtful if Farve will stay for the 2007 season.  So chances are, this is the very last Monday night game that Brett Farve will play.  And I intend to watch whatever I can of it, as a fitting tribute to the greatest quarterback that Green Bay has ever seen.
