It is quite impressive that Brett Favre has played for this long in the NFL but I think he's finally realizing that it's time for him to hang up the cleats. He has said that he will never play another game in the NFL if he can't feel his fingers. Judging by that picture...his fingers aren't looking good at all.
I've always had mixed feelings about him. I could never really decide if he continued to play for the love of the game or to keep setting records. Whatever you think about him, you have to admit he is one tough bastard.
Are you sure that's not photoshopped? I mean, look at the colors, kinda funny that it's purple & gold the very same colors as the team he's with, the Vikings (for those who don't watch American football). I dunno, all I know is he's completely gotten his shoulder all fucked up, he's done, and you could tell on Monday (?) that he's not taking that fact very easily.
