From Michael David Smith of NFL.fanhouse.com:
New York Jets quarterback
Brett Favre added another milestone to his Hall of Fame career today, becoming the first player in NFL history to throw 300 career interceptions.
Interception No. 300 was an incredibly costly one: The Jets led the Buffalo Bills 23-10 in the fourth quarter and were just trying to protect their lead, but Favre threw a bad pass that Bills cornerback Jabari Greer picked off and returned 42 yards for a touchdown, getting the Bills right back in the game.
Favre is one of the all-time great quarterbacks, but he's also one of the all-time mistake-prone quarterbacks. He leads the league in interceptions this season, and as the 300 milestone reminds us, no quarterback in history has matched Favre in the interception department.

That one will never be broken. Even if one plays 10 years, he'd have to throw 30 INTs a season in average. If he plays 15, then it is still 20 INTs a season. Nobody who throws that many INTs will be allowed to play for that long, so that one he will have for eternity.
