    Default Brett Favre retiring! Finally!!

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slu...v=ap&type=lgns

    Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre has decided to retire from the NFL after 17 seasons.

    “He has had one of the greatest careers in the history of the National Football League, and he is able to walk away from the game on his own terms— not many players are able to do that,” Packers general manager Ted Thompson said Tuesday.

    Favre’s agent Bus Cook said the 38-year-old quarterback told him of his decision Monday night.
    I've never been a fan of Brett... simply because I'm a fan of teams he has man-handled in the past.

    But, let me be the first to wish Brett a happy and successful retirement. I'm sure Brett will do well wherever he ends up.

    Best of luck to ya Brett and I mean that with all sincerity. The fans of the NFL have truly been blessed by your skills.

    It's about time. I think he's scheduled for mummification later this month, thus the retirement.

    You both suck! I for one will miss his play very much. He is a throwback QB of an era long forgotten by many professional players.

    Um, excuse me? Maybe you should check the times of the original posts?

    Mine was as 11:41am my time. Her's was 2:07pm my time. I think I beat her by nearly two and a half hours.

    LOL

    You are correct, JA, he is probably the last of his breed. I always enjoyed his play and the NFL won't be the same without him.

    I was just joking about the mummy thing.

    Actually, I will miss his play too.

    I was sincere in my fare well. I wish him the best. Sure, I used to rout against him. I used to say, "I wish someone would wipe that silly grin off his face!", but truly he has been a great QB. Maybe not the most elegant passer out there, but the man knew how to pull a game out and he always made it exciting when he got the ball with seemingly too little time on the clock and too far to go.

    Yes, Brett's going to be missed even by those fans of other teams.

    To see Farve play just watch Romo.
