Of course it would be the best if Brett could manage to have his final farewell game be as special as NFL greats John Elway and Jerome Bettis and go out with a Superbowl win. If that is not possible, how would you like to see him go out?
I first thought I wouldn't mind if he lost in the Superbowl and managed to get these young Pack players to the big dance, but then I was thinking that Green Bay has no real storyline connection to any AFC teams. Still a great accomplishment, but I am not sure this is a big storyline seller.
Then I was thinking if Favre lost his last game against Dallas in the NFC finals. I think this would be a great finish to his career even in defeat as it would be played up by the media as Brett passing the torch to a younger gunslinger-type quarterback who many consider Brett's second coming. I like that one a lot (even though I hate the loss).
The other thought was one last playoff game against the Vikes (in a year or two when AP drags this team to the playoffs). Sure Green Bay and Chicago are the traditional rival with the longer history, but during his career, it has really been the Vikes who played Brett the best and really has been the rival with so many close exciting games between our teams. Again it would suck for the loss, but at least it would be against a team which provided so many ups and downs (and ups again ) throughout his career.
