It's sad that the last pass he threw was that interception, but on the whole it's great that he was able to finish his career with a great season.
There are certain competitors you love to hate when your team has to face them on a regular basis. Brett Farve was like that for me. Hated him because he was so good in his loose style. He could be wild or he could be deadly... And he had fun no matter what it seemed.

Facing him twice yearly in teh Norris until the NFL re-aligned gave me a chance to appreciate him. I appreciate Dovovan McNabb in the same way though McNabb is not Farve. Mike Vick hd been played up in teh media like Farve bu his character and his work eithic never came close to Brett. Nor his accomplishments.
