Brett Favre Career Interception Watch

I wouldn't mind him breaking it against us.

Would like to say one thing about this quote though.

On October 7th, 2007 versus the Chicago Bears, Brett Favre threw two interceptions, and is now officially tied for the most interceptions ever thrown. This feat was accomplished in 94 fewer games than George Blanda. Way to go Favre!

This hides the real stat we should measure it against. From Peter King's article

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/peter_king/10/07/mmqb.week5/3.html

• Blanda threw 277 interceptions in 4,077 career passes. Favre has 277 interceptions in 8,433 attempts.

• Blanda played in an era where the interception was a way of life in the old AFL. Imagine this: In 1962, he threw one interception per each 9.95 attempts -- 42 picks in 418 throws. In Favre's worst interception year, 2005, he threw one interception each 20.93 throws -- 29 in 607 attempts.

ugh...i hated using his words :(
