My daughter was 150 days old the day Brett Favre started his first NFL game.

She was 5,975 days old, and just starting her junior year of high school, the next time somebody other than Favre started a game for the Green Bay Packers. Today, she’s 6,801 days old, and Favre finally missed a start.

The Vikings hoped Favre, who has started despite a broken foot and elbow tendinitis this season, could do it again when the game against the New York Giants was delayed from Sunday after the Metrodome roof collapsed. That forced the game to be moved to Ford Field, but it was not enough time for Favre to get healthy enough to play.

So that’s the streak, if not quite the career. I admit, I’m a little choked up.
