How does Madden feel about it?
didn’t he try to retire after the 2006 season with the tears etc? I say give him a few months off, and let’s have the Bears draft him.
CANDLELIGHT VIGIL HERE IN GREEN BAY!
I cried today watching him. He was amazing.For most of his 17 yrs. he gave us thrills and always hope.
I’m a Dallas fan and when they lost to New York, I remember thinking that maybe Brett would make it to another Super Bowl in what could be his last year. When the Giants beat the Packers, I thought that for sure that Brett would be back for one more year. I am sorry to see him go. He’s a great player and a great person.
I watched the whole ting. I love the guy, but his goodbye was way over the top.
People die every day with more dignity.
I loved his love for the game. He played with the enthusiasm of a kid and win or lose, I loved watching him play.He was a class act and will be missed.
Check these amazing Favre quotes out:
Five years ago I sat with Favre in a quiet room in Lambeau Field between training camp practices. About 50 minutes into what was supposed to be a 20-minute interview, I asked him if he felt a responsibility to the Packers and the NFL to play for as long as possible. This is what he said:
“No, honestly that never played into my mind because I know for a fact that I’ve been worth every penny they’ve given me. For every dollar someone spent at the ticket office to watch me play, they’ve gotten their money’s worth.
“I’m not saying I’m great or anything, but I play the game one way, regardless of how much money I make. People watching in the stands, I think they say ‘If I was out there, that’s the way I’d play.’ I’ve busted my [butt] in practice, and done everything I’ve been asked to do and then some, and taken it to a different level.
“I’ve remained the same as far as my personality. I’m very respectful and understand where I am, what I’ve done. I never wake up and say, ‘I’ve been living a lie for years, I know I could have given more.’ I would hope the fans would never think that, that I haven’t given everything I could have.”

Already a legend, next season is year 0001 AF (After Favre). The man was the most exciting quarterback I ever saw play the game. He was one of a kind and he will be missed. More than just a football player, he was a class act, who demonstrated that no matter what you do you need to bring childlike enthusiasm to it and have fun and leave nothing on the field. Thanks Brett. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement.
We'll miss ya Brett....
Mississippi Man! He will be missed on the field.
