What's the mystery?
Just like Dean Smith ten years ago, Brett Favre in 2007 represents the confluence of (1) a legendary career (2) reaching its end (3) with arguably his best season ever (4) as he shatters a major all-time career record (or, in Favre's case, more than one). How could SI resist that combination?
It's one thing if you have to choose between a lifetime achievement award and recognizing a player or coach having an epic season. But if you can do both at once, why wouldn't you?
