Dude, his last throw prevented the SuperBowl. The last throw.........

It's kind of appropriate if you look back over his career. He always was a risk taker...

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.

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.

SmootSmack · 03-04-2008, 10:46 AM

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.

Thanks for all the good games Brett.

Do you think he'll go the commentator route?

Daseal · 03-04-2008, 11:15 AM

Good bye Brett. Easily one of the best QBs of all time, a good guy, and a legend for the NFL. Ill miss seeing his highlights every week.

Paintrain · 03-04-2008, 11:29 AM

At least we won't be subjected to months of 'will he or won't he' babble like the past 2 years..

Congrats Mr. Favre on a great career. Walk away on your own terms and take the next flight to Canton. You will be missed by all football fans (except maybe the Bears and Vikings fans).

prinzeofmoval · 03-04-2008, 11:37 AM

favre is the last link between the greats..Young,Aikman,Elway,even Montana..he's my favorite qb of all time hands down...where does he rank in your all time qb list?
