Following Minnesota Vikings Brett Favre's dreadful interception that cost his team a Super Bowl showing, the fine folks at BetUS.com decided to create a list of most famous Favre blunders.
Among them, Laying Down for Strahan in 2001.
"In a wildly contested NFL record, Michael Strahan edged the season sack record of 22.0 by Mark Gastineau by "sacking" Favre. In fact, Favre basically sat on the ground so his buddy could steal the record from the former New York Jet. Some defend this by saying that Favre didn't want to get blasted by a viscious Strahan hit, but he was hardly in harms way of getting blind sided and this is also a quarterback who was renowned for his scrambling ability. It was less of a sack and more of Favre bending over so that Strahan could score a reach around and wiggle in to the record books."
Another was the 2007-08 NFC Championship Against Giants.
"In Brett's final game as a Packer, and with his final pass in the green and gold, the NFC Championship game went to overtime after Mason Crosby was able to nail a field goal to tie the game at twenty apiece. Green Bay got the ball off the coin flip, and in his first and only pass of extra time, Favre shot a pass straight to cornerback Cory Webster. The Giants never gave the ball back and booted a 47-yarder to win the game. Sound familiar?"
And how about the six picks against the Rams in the 2002 Playoffs?
"Brett has always had that magical knack for fooling us in to thinking that he could throw a ball right through Mt. Everest or concuss a charging rhino with his grenade launching arm and boyish grin. So when Brett was matched up against the vaunted Greatest Show on Turf, led by destined hall of famer Kurt Warner, there were those that thought Brett could somehow pull this one out of his khaki shorts. Instead of a victory, Favre gave the Packers' fans six interceptions, three of which were returned for scores."
But probably the biggest blunder of them all (though BetUS.com didn't rank it number one) was Brett Favre's inability to retire.
