Favre has decided to call it a career

I guess he's thinking the only way to top last year is to get to the Super Bowl which obviously is not an easy thing to do.

It seems like the timing is a little strange. He has played on bad teams........and stayed. He has a Great season, and elects to retire, with the same team coming back? Go figure

Or maybe he feels like that team isn't really that great and it is set up to fail. IDK.

I think he could just be ready to NOT play anymore which I think he deserves. The guy has done a lot and won everything he can so what's the point of selling another year of his lfie if he isn't into it anymore?

wait a minute... portis just restructured saving us some cap room... maybe... DS has been planning to sign Favre all along. Vet minimum!


if you think this sounds like a good idea, go back to extremeskins

He has been easily my favorite non-Redskins player to watch over the years....I'll never forget that Monday Night game against the Raiders after his father died. Best wishes to him and his family.....what an incredible quarterback and football player.

Damn, what does Mark Murphy know I guess.

I think Favre realized that it's no guarantee they'd get as far next year as they did this year. And it takes a lot of work. It's like Elway said when he retired. It's not about Sundays. It's about Monday through Saturday.

He's really going out knowing he threw that pick that lost the game to the Gmen????

Can't happen. If he "un-retires" he is still under contract with GB. They own the rights to his services. So he would have to be released or traded.

Remember all the flack with Jake Plummer last summer? He got traded to Tampa but did not want to play there, so he "retired". If he comes back from retirement, the Bucs still own the rights to him and he either plays there or gets released or traded.

With a 17 year career under his belt he's got plenty of other memories that trump his last throw, including a Super Bowl ring.

Good decision. Go out on top.

Yeah pretty much, he left while he was still at the top, when people look back they are gonna say, damn he had a great season his last year and he took the Packers to the NFC Championship game, rather than say, he should've retired years ago.

It's gonna be different seeing a different quarterback trot out for the Packers next year, but all good things must come to an end. I'm curious to see if they are gonna stick with Aaron Rodgers or go a different route.

Thanks for all the good games Brett.

Do you think he'll go the commentator route?
