For all the questions about whether the Rams would call Tim Tebow, they didn't.
They called a bigger name, higher-profile quarterback.
Quarterback Sam Bradford's knee injury will make it impossible for him to finish the season. That puts the Rams in a precarious position at the most important position on the field, writes Nick Wagoner. Blog
After the team lost starting quarterback Sam Bradford to a season-ending knee injury, St. Louis called Brett Favre on Sunday night, asking if the 44-year-old retired quarterback who is now a grandfather, would be willing to leave his farm to plow through the back half of the Rams' schedule, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Favre hasn't played since December of 2010, but that didn't stop the Rams from reaching out to Favre's agent, Bus Cook.
One source familiar with the Rams conversations said that, if Favre took them up on their interest, 'it could break Twitter.'
Yet the man who famously wavered over whether to play too many times to count didn't waver this time. Through his agent Bus Cook, Favre told the Rams that he was retired -- actually, really, officially.
