It is rare in sport or in life that you get the chance to duplicate in a nearly identical way a success or failure in as epic a manner as quarterback Brett Favre did in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. Two years ago, playing for Green Bay in that year's NFC Championship, in overtime, Favre threw the interception that led to his team's loss to the Giants. On Sunday, he did the same thing in the last minute of regulation time and his team lost to the Saints.
So, as he ponders retirement, perhaps one factor he is considering is would the third time be the charm?
