It appears that the Neverending Story has ended. Brett Favre has informed the Vikings that he will remain retired. The NFC North will have the QBs of Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford, and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels. While there are mixed feelings on this, I am personally glad we don't have to face him in 2009.
As for 2010... who knows.
