If the Packers start the season on SNF, we can still get one more Brett Favre challenge in because the only story will be how the Packers will survive without Favre.
But barring that, this is definitely over.
Kudos to Leber for the amazing sig and to Metroid for the userbar and making them both fit 2008 and 2009 Defunct Dynasty League Champion

The days of the BFC have come to an end- as we all knew they would sometime, I was just hoping it wouldn't be this time. I've come to really enjoy heading these "challenges" over the years. Something about counting and laughing hysterically over John Maddens dozens of "Brett Favre's" (And sometimes "Brett Fart's") just never got old. From 2 Monday Night football appearances when Madden was a MNF announcer, to 2 Sunday night appearances on NBC we had 4 BFC's right here at the cafe.
A couple of the early ones were pretty simplistic, it really started out as a bunch of us gathered in another GC thread laughing like mad anytime Madden just said Brett Favre 4 times in the same breath. From there it began to evolve to a "How many times is it possible Madden could use his name during a telecast?" And eventually the final stages of the game we incorporated an official/unofficial drinking game.
Alas the days have now come to an end. Football won't be the same in week 1 without ole' #4 lining up under center for the Green Bay Packers. And sometime midseason, when the Packers play a game on Sunday Night Football, I'll be watching, and wishing Brett was there for old times sake. But as Brett says today, all good things must come to an end. And his football playing days sure were good days.
Take care Brett I hope your days away from football are great!

P.S. This all being said- it has been noted in the past that Madden may have a new crush, a certain, Tony Romo. Only time will tell but there are definite possibilities that we might not be quite done with "Madden Challenges". . . Stay tuned.

I say, like SF said, if GB plays Sunday Night, especially at Lambeau and/or early in season, Madden will definitely continue his Favre crush.
The football game will last 3 1/2 hours while Madden's pre-game tribute to Favre will last nearly twice that. And imagnie during the game. "Brett Favre would have thrown that pass, handed the ball off, stayed in the pocket like...blah blah blah"
I think, therefore I am. I think fantasy, therefore I am unreal?

Haha, so true. Which will we see more of during that game, the actual game or Favre highlights?
