Kurt Warner has decided he's thrown his last pass in the NFL, retiring friday. The frontman of the "greatest show on turf" was a lot of fun to watch and no doubt the Cardinals will miss him a lot. He took that franchise from a doormat team to within a couple minutes of super bowl champion. I think it's almost crazy how it's even a question as to whether he's a hall of famer or not. To me, it's an easy YES. 12 years in the league, NFL MVP, super bowl champion, super bowl MVP, 3 super bowl appearances. He has the three highest passing totals in super bowl history, and let's not forget he took TWO teams to the super bowl with the Rams and Cardinals. The guy was a gunslinger and a winner and very classy off the field. See you in Canton, Kurt.
As one Hall of Fame QB walks away, we await the NFL future of another. The official Favre Watch 2010 has begun. No doubt he took a beating in the NFC Championship game vs the Saints, a game which the Vikings SHOULD have won. I think it would be really hard for Favre to walk away though after having one of the best seasons of his career. If he's got one more year in him, the Vikings will be a contender again next season.
Super Bowl 44 is in 8 days...my official prediction is Colts over the Saints in a shootout 38-34. Manning will light it up again with 3 TDs and get Super Bowl MVP.
