Brett Favre to Retire

Just saw on ESPN's Bottom Line as Breaking News.

 

[Kyle]

I give him about a week before he changes his mind.

 

[CYdTracked]

ESPN - Favre tells Packers he's retiring - NFL

I thought he'd come back after the season they had.

 

[bos]

See ya next season Favre. Enjoy your summer off.

 

[cyfanatic]

Not a Packer fan...but he was a helluva football player! Really enjoyed watching him play...

 

[Juggercy]

about freakin time.

 

[ISUFan22]

Wow...that came as a bit of a surprise.

 

[C.John]

Are you sure he's retiring? I looked outside and I did not see a mob people crying and wailing while wearing John Deere colored clothes.

 

[Clones85']

about freakin time.

? he was runner up in the MVP race last year. He can play for at least 2 more years easily. I am not a packers fan but this sucks!!!

The winter was very cold in Green Bay and Randy Moss reupped with Pats.

 

[cmoneyr]

I'm not a Packers fan, but it's definitely the end of an era, one less good guy in the NFL.

 

[drmwevr08]

And the Vikings make the playoffs! YES!

Favre is a heck of a player; I'm neutral on the Packers, but really liked watching him play. After the last few seasons, he needed this last good showing before calling it a career.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Whether you're a Packer fan or not, you have to admire the way he played the game. He always looked like he was having fun.

 

[superman_101680]

And the Vikings make the playoffs! YES!

If only it was that easy!

 

[Wesley]

An opening for the next Bret (Meyer.)

 

[ISUonthemove]

I'm a HUGE Packers fan and Favre fan. And I would like to see Brett play one more year.

That being said, I am really excited to see Aaron Rodgers play next season. He was really impressive against the Cowboys and I don't think there will be much of a drop off between the Favre of now and the Rodgers of now.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

And the Vikings make the playoffs! YES!

As a life long Viking fan, I'm not holding my breath waiting for that next season.

Nah, he's getting out before the roids scandal hits the NFL. just kidding. You are right, though. He is a classy player. This is how I felt about the NBA too. When Jordan, Olajuwan, Robinson, etc all retired I felt that the class left with them. =(
