Full disclosure: this writer has always been a Green Bay Packers fan. So it was absolutely stunning news to hear Brett Favre, the legendary former Packers quarterback, was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.

The majority of Favre's career was played in Green Bay. From 1992 to 2010, Favre had 321 consecutive starts, including 297 regular season games and was the first NFL quarterback to obtain 70,000 yards, 10,000 passes, 6,000 completions, 500 touchdowns, and victories over all 32 teams.

Really gut wrenching. Favre is only 54 years old.
