This evening at 8:30 PM on the NFL network two teams will kick off in hopes for possible home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys are two teams with a substantial history and tonight, will battle for continuing their one loss record. Both teams are currently 10-1 but tonight one NFC powerhouse will fall short.
The Packers are hoping that their star quarterback, Brett Favre, will lead them to victory. Favre, who recently turned 38 is having one of the best statistical seasons of his career. But, can't you remember how most thought he should have retired becuase he was reaching the ripe old age of...40!
Now a days athletes are beginning their careers younger and surprisingly ending their careers later. How is this possible? And is it bad for the sport to have a continuous STAR on one particular team?
I think having Favre still on the field and performing the way he does is only increase fan loyalty. He might be older but he is probably not going anywhere soon.
Roger Clemens is another example of an "old" athlete. This 45 year old led the National league in era's two years ago and he is five years older than Favre.
So tonight you might want to be on the lookout for another dominating performance by Favre.
