MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Vikings quarterback Brett Favre has been knocked out of the game against the Buffalo Bills.
The 41-year-old was crushed by Bills linebacker Arthur Moats on his first pass play of the game. The pass was intercepted by Drayton Florence.
Favre was slow to get up and staggered to the sidelines. He was replaced by Tarvaris Jackson on the next series, and later walked to the locker room with team trainers. The team says he is questionable to return with a shoulder injury.
Favre extended his NFL record by starting his 297th straight regular season game.
But on the third play of the game, Favre rolled to his right and was blindsided by Moats just as he started to throw. The ball fluttered in the air and fell into Florence‘s arms for Favre’s 18th interception of the season.

Hang it up big guy and hope they spell your name right on the plaque. No one else can spell FARVE the way you do. You’re done. Turn in your equipment. Adios.

Posted on December 5, 2010 at 3:19pmI was rooting for him last year. I mean a 40 year old with almost 300 consecutive starts with a high powered rifle for an arm while almost leading his team to the Superbowl was fun to watch.
This year is a different story. He’s going to go out after un-re-unretiring, tossing countless interceptions, and getting caught for sending pics of his junk to some skank. He should have stayed on the tractor.

Posted on December 5, 2010 at 2:26pmNow the NFL will probably stop tacklers from sacking QB’s altogether. You can now only grab a QB until he shouts “uncle” then let him go!

Posted on December 5, 2010 at 2:15pmMaybe he should retire. Or is that re-retire? Either way he probably shouldn’t un-retire.

Posted on December 5, 2010 at 2:32pmYes,,,BF is finished. Should have quit while he was ahead and unhurt.
However,,,check out the piss-poor blocking he got from the rear…..absolutely NO follow-up by his teammates.
