Streak Over

Hey all,

As I'm sure all of you have heard thanks to ESPN, Brett Favre's streak of consecutive games played ended this Monday. The man played 297 straight games, this is really impressive considering how much he gets hurt due to his age. Everyone is making a big deal that his streak is over. I know everyone, including myself, would like to see him extent it; but it just wasn't in the cards for him due to the huge hit he took last week. This hit being legal for a change and no getting a penalty or fined.

The man who took him out is a rookie, yes let that settle. Players on his team have started getting on him, joking around and giving him new nicknames. Some have called him "Streak Killer", "Legend Assassin", and many more. This comes as a shock to everyone that because Brett has played hurt almost all season. But I feel that this, the joking around, is a good thing for players. It will motivate them and give them a boost of energy, and make them want to play harder. I know the player plays for the Buffalo Bills, one of the worst teams in the league with only 3 wins this season. This joking around could lead to help the team moral and help them to improve in the win column.

The big question is, how will the Vikings bounce back if Frave is out longer than they had hoped he would be? Jackson, might be a good QB but I don't think he is good for the team right now. He proved this Monday night against the Giants. He could only lead his team to 3 points in the 21-3 beating in Detroit. Hopefully for their sake he can bounce back from that showing and lead his team to more wins this season, if he wants to take of the team next year. This is if Brett retires for good. We'll see how this set back hurts the Vikings, and can hope the team turns around and win some games, with or without Brett.
