Tonight as the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants hit the field for a showdown, one player won't be playing. Vikings quarterback Brett Favre is finally going to sit out a game.
Favre has started 297 straight regular season games, and if you count the playoffs, an remarkable 327 games. Just think of all the good things going on in the world the week Favre started the first time for Green Bay. The day was September 20, 1992. Favre started in place of Don Majkowski who was injured.
Number one song on the Pop Music Chart: Patty Smyth and Don Henley singing Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough.
Number one movie: Singles.
The original Dream Team had made their debut using famed NBA players Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Scottie Pippen and others at the Summer Olympics just two months before.
Bill Clinton was beginning his run as the President of the USA.
Been quite a long time since Favre has not been on the field starting for his team. Whether it be the Packers, New York Jets or the Minnesota Vikings, Favre is an iron man.
Maybe he has played too many seasons and should of retired two or three years ago, but his run of games started consecutive is one to marvel at.
