Should Farve retire now that his streak is broken?

I don't know about you, but I'm sick of the drama involved in Brett Farve playing football. At the end of every season, he's definitely retiring, then when the season is gearing up, he's changed his mind. I can understand him not wanting to quit. At 41, there really isn't much more for him to do. He might get a job as a commentator for one of the stations that shows games, but that's about all he can expect at this point in his life.

So let's think about this streak that Farve has accomplished. 259 consecutive games (not including playoffs) is a lot of games for a football player. In a sport filled with injuries and players who just can't make the cut, Farve has been a stand out among his peers. In fact, he's the only player from his peers that is still playing the game. I'm not trying to downplay that accomplishment, but after seeing how the season has been going for Farve, I'm hoping that he will be willing to accept this as a sign that it's time to say goodbye to his career on the football field.
