Favre's Streak of Starts Ends
Say what you want about the Dude.....but let me put this streak into perspective.
His first official start was September 27th 1992 against the Steelers.
Hurricane Andrew had only hit South Florida the month before.
George H.W. Bush was President (Bush 41).
The name “O.J. Simpson” still made you think of Football, The Naked Gun, Hertz, and Dingo Boots.
World Wide Web....pfffttt...BBS is the future!!!
“Let me break out my Digital Camera!”....yer whaaaa?????
Pentium Processor???
Remember all the talk when Sinead O'Conner ripped up the Pope's picture on Saturday Night Live? Well, that was the Saturday following the Sunday when Favre started his streak. (Dana Carvey was still a cast member).
Nick Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers) is about ten days old.
Miley Cyrus is still about two months away from being born.
The X-Files will hit the air...next year.
Whitney Houston didn't sing “I Will Always Love You”, dummy....that was Dolly Parton!
Seinfeld comes in at #25 behind such classics as “Heart Afire”, “Evening Shade”, “The Jackie Thomas Show”, and “Love and War”.
I'm 5'10”, 190 lbs, can run a 4.4 40 yard dash, bench over 300 lbs, and can dunk a basketball. (THATs how long ago it was and I am less than a year older than Favre).
Say what you want about him and I would probably agree with most of it (good AND bad), but that was one heck of a streak for Pro Football....especially a QB.
