Brett Favre and Warren Sapp Retire
Submitted by Got Strength? Blog
I’m a football fan. I love watching two kinds of players on the field. I love the players that are just so good that watching them play is a marvel of skill and human ability. Players like this are Peyton Manning, who’s one of the most complete technical quarterbacks ever.
The other kind of player I like are the attitude stars. Both Brett Favre (Quarterback, Green Bay Packers) and Warren Sapp (Defensive Tackle, Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Bucs) are terrific football players. Favre is without question a first ballot Hall of Famer, and Sapp is definitely worth talking about for the consideration. In addition to their numbers and playing skill they brought something else to the game. They brought attitude. They actually brought some attitude with each other, given that they had a fun little feud for a few years.
Favre is known as a gunslinging quarterback, making impossible throws to score touchdowns and losing balls on other gambles. Sapp is a muscle-filled cannonball that had a non-stop motor. He just never quit on the field and even when double and triple-teamed he was always reaching for more.
Both players have retired officially in the past couple of days, and the NFL is going to be a little less good because of it. They’ve both had long, great careers and are due for a rest, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not going to miss them.
You boys have been great, and I’ve learned a lot about football and life by watching you both play. Thanks for the good times.
