Brett Favre calls it quits - The Postgame Pub

Crono139 · 03-04-2008, 09:46 AM

FoxSports.com's Jay Glazer and the Biloxi Sun Herald's Al Jones report that Brett Favre has decided to retire.

Favre reportedly told the Packers within the past few days. The Packers haven't commented yet, which could indicate they are hoping he changes his mind. The fact Favre told his close friend Jones, however, indicates Favre is ready to go public. If this is truly it, Favre goes out after one of his best seasons, albeit with a painful playoff ending. Aaron Rodgers finally gets his chance to lead the Packers.

Personally, I don't think he's truly done.

It's all that ESPN2 is talking about.

Well to brett.. Goodbye, you were a true warrior dude.... To packers fans: Start praying that Aaron Rodgers is Good...

Hey, Rodgers did well in his relief of Favre in the loss to Dallas this past season.

18 out of 26 for 201 yards, and a score. He also rushed 5 times for 30 yards.

I saw that, but I'm leaning over towards the side that when the teams start to figure out what he's all about his stat line wont be that great, but who knows...

wow, never knew he was drafted by Atlanta. And never thought his career Passer Rating was that low, i thought he was in the low to mid 90s

Raider1one · 03-04-2008, 11:23 AM

YA ATL F'd up when they gave him away LOL... Farve owns tons of records, including one he didn't want: MOST Interceptions ..

Hopefully Eli Manning isn't on his way to that record

I figured he'd call it quits if his team didn't pick up a big play wideout that he wanted so badly, so once the Pats re-signed Moss I wasn't at all surprised to see him retire. Good run Brett, you deserve to go out after such a great season

**Phistar** · 03-05-2008, 10:54 PM

peace out brett favre... he had an awesome career i must say
