Who will have last laugh in Favre finale,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
reporting every little detail of his off-season routine and speculating over the eventual outcome. This year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his arrival at the Vikings pre-season training camp was filmed by hovering helicopters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], filming his black SUV into the team's training facility.
Favre is accused of hogging the limelight every off-season but perhaps he should be cut some slack,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he does seem genuinely trapped by indecisiveness and that desire that so many sportsmen have to go out on top.
As a reporter who covered soccer in Italy for eight years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I can't help but draw comparisons between the graying quarterback and another man who played into his forties - AC Milan and Italy defender Paolo Maldini.
Like Favre at Green Bay,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Maldini became an emblematic figure at his club,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but unlike the American he stuck with his team right until the end of his career. Favre playing for the Vikings, the old enemy and divisional rival of his Packers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is like Maldini ending his career with a couple of seasons at Inter Milan. Unthinkable.
Maldini was once offered the chance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in his mid-thirties,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to make a lucrative switch to English club Chelsea and although the former Italy international would have loved to have spent a year or two in London,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], respect for his supporters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also his own legacy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], led him to reject that chance.
Maldini was so fit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such a dedicated professional,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that he played well beyond the normal age of retirement for a soccer player and indeed he could probably have managed another season or two. AC Milan captain Paolo Maldini will bid farewell to the San Siro faithful against AS Roma on Sunday in what may also be coach Carlo Ancelotti last home match in charge of the Serie A club.
