10 from 4

The NFL Network has lots of great series. "America's Game." The new "A Football Life." "Playbook." One of my favorites is "Top 10." The show highlights the top 10 of a variety of NFL subjects. Top 10 Coolest Uniforms. Top 10 Ugliest Uniforms. Top 10 Quarterbacks. Top 10 Super Bowls. Top 10 Bad Weather Games. Hmmm. Wonder which Pats' game would be high on that list?

The latest edition of "Top 10" came on tonight. The Top 10 Greatest Brett Favre Moments. Can I please -- please -- have a break from this guy? After his multiple pre-mature retirements can we have a rule of no Favre programs for a year? I guess not. After all, we're talking the greatest human on the planet.

OK. I'll admit it. Favre was a great player. Just outside the ten best quarterbacks to ever throw a pass in the league. He made lots of amazing plays that I certainly can appreciate. So I stopped to think what my Top 10 Favre moments would be. I mean #4 is a legend. He has so many huge game-changing plays. So many. Let me see...

There was the interception he threw in overtime against the Eagles in the "04 playoffs. That was awesome. There was the six interceptions (six!) he threw in the playoffs against the Rams in '02. Brady hasn't done that. Of course Brett's greatest moment of all -- in my opinion -- is the pick six he threw in the '08 NFL title game against the Giants ... in overtime. To lose the game. Huge. And those are only the on-field moments. There were also the three separate drawn-out, tear-filled, American hero retirements. And something with a cellphone. I can't remember the details.

So many great moments.

I think Jon Gruden summed it up best when talking about the classic Vikes-Saints NFC title game in 2010. It came in at #9 on the list.

"If Brett Favre hadn't thrown that interception at the end of that game and instead led the Vikings to a victory and the Super Bowl, that game would have been his greatest moment ever by far." As usual, Gruden has hit it right on the nose when it comes to Favre.

Yes. If only he hadn't thrown that game-killing pick it would have been one of the greatest performances in league history. If only.

The Favre list counted down to the inevitable #1. Yes, the Monday night game he played just days after his father passed away. How could he do that? Such a hero. How can you not watch those highlights without a few tears?

The one thing that made watching this "Top 10" less annoying was this thought: One day the "Top 10" will feature the Top 10 Greatest Tom Brady moments. There won't be any interceptions in that list.
