According to Wiki, Brett’s very first-ever pass in the NFL was picked off. From Wiki: “ Favre’s first pass in an NFL regular season game resulted in an interception returned for a touchdown. He only attempted four passes in his career at Atlanta, was intercepted twice, and completed none of them.” So it seems oddly appropriate that he ends his career with a pick. Perfect bookended career.

Here is Brett Favre's Career Interception Percentage compared to some other QB's in NFL history, past and present:

Troy Aikman 3.0%
Dan Marino 3.0%
John Elway 3.1%
Kurt Warner 3.1%
Brett Favre 3.2%

When discussing sport never EVER let facts get in the way of a good urban legend. I already noted that Favre’s first pass was NOT an INT, but a pass to himself — but facts have no meaning to haters.
