No "I" in Team

Minnesota Viking and future Hall of Fame Quarterback Brett Favre holds many records, including most consecutive starts. Moments after beating the Houston Texans 17-10 in a preseason game Monday night, Favre announced that he will be leaving the team immediately to pursue another record - playing for every team in the league in one season.

ESPN reported before the game that Favre said he thinks he has the right to do this, even though he will be causing chaos in locker rooms across the country. “Look, I’m Brett Favre. I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, and teams just grab ankles and let me. So why should this be any different?”

"There is nothing you can do about it first of all, secondly, I feel great and I think I will be fine. And, besides, there is nothing you can do about it."

Favre said he wasn't out to hurt anyone and was simply trying to pad his already thick resume, and bank account. “Scott (Boris, Favre’s agent) figures we can get a minimum of $5 million per team. In one season that is some serious cheese, and it ain’t Wisconsin cheese either!”

When asked where he will go next Favre stated “Well, might as well stay in the Division, go through the lousy teams first, like Detroit. I am planning so that by the time it rolls around I will have two teams left, the two that are playing in the Super Bowl. One way or the other I will get another ring.”
