“Vikings QB Brett Favre got emotional on the field after completing a 34-3 win against the Cowboys on Sunday that clinched a berth in the NFC title game. Less than five months removed from his un-retirement and signing with the Vikings, Favre threw four TD passes to move one game away from the Super Bowl. ‘I'm kind of worn out right now’, Favre said in an interview with Fox. ‘It was emotional before the game, just to be in this position after all the stuff that took place. It's a wonderful moment’.”

Was that last TD necessary? Probably not. On the other hand, there is no "throwing in the towel" to concede defeat in the NFL. The Vikings couldn't simply run-out all the remaining time at that point in the game, either. Moreover, the Cowboys were calling time-outs to prevent time from running out before they got another possession, so they were clearly not conceding defeat. Under the circumstances, I think the Vikings had to continue playing the game.

In any case shouldn't Brett's name be spelled "Farve"? Or is everyone mispronouncing "Favre"?
