Brett Favre's Legacy Analysis
Legacy is one of the most important aspects when looking back at the greatest players in professional sports history. All fans have these everlasting images in their heads about the all-time great players, that can be positive--Michael Jordan hitting the winning shot over Bryon Russell, John Elway winning back-to-back Super Bowls to finish his career-or negative--whatever has happened to Tiger Woods, Brett Favre’s last season in Minnesota.
