Bret Favre career coming to and end

The amazing Brett Favre’s career is unfortunately coming to an end, after 297 consecutive starts over 19 seasons.  The 41-year-old Vikings quarterback could not make it for the Minnesota Vikings game last night.  The Vikings lost 21-3 to the New York Giants.  Favre was sidelined by a throwing shoulder too damaged for even him to overcome.

Favre said he will undergo another examination Tuesday on his sprained SC joint, which he believes has exacerbated numbness in his right hand, but never suggested he could return for any of the Vikings' remaining three games.

"I won't play again if I can't feel my hand," Favre said. "I think it would be foolish to even consider playing if you don't have total feeling in five fingers."

Favre and Vikings interim coach Leslie Frazier spoke extensively Monday night and are planning to speak again after Tuesday's exam.

In a technological twist, the record-ending decision was announced to the public on Twitter. Jeff Anderson, a Vikings spokesman, tweeted that Favre was out early Monday evening: "Vikings Inactives -- 12, 19, 25, 31, 76, 90, 91...and 4. The streak ends..."
