JAY GLAZER reports FAVRE is DONE

[Rastak]

I'd like to see if he really files his retirement papers with the NFL in a timely manner. If he doesn't, I'd say, and this is pure rastak speculation, that there is a 85% chance he tries to come back right before camp with Green Bay and a 15% chance he tries the same thing with another team.


If he files his papers right away, then I take him for his word, he's done.

I've never been pissed at Favre - but I would be if he pulls the MJ and goes in/out of 'retirement'. If it's over - it better be over. Not fair to the team any other way.

Yea, Rodgers would be pissed too. TT might be if he made some deal for a vet QB. Honestly, after seeing part of the press conference I have to take the guy at his word. MM, who I do have a great deal of respect for, said they discussed all the scenarios and he decided to quit so that should be that I would think.

[FavreChild]

He didn't leave 'on top' - but he left with people wanting more. It's a better end to a career than everyone (including die hard fans) asking him to call it quits.

He left on a high note, a la Costanza. You're right, Fosco, what better ending could we ask for?

I repeat - we are so lucky.

My son and I got to see him play his last game. Thanks for the memories Brett and God bless you and your family. I think there is a chance he does come back.

Even though the Pack lost I am grateful to have got to see him play at Lambeau last season. He always won when I saw him in SF.

Seeing Favre play live at Lambeau is a Huge check-off on my "Bucket List."

I'm also so glad we went. It was the only time I saw him at Lambeau. Good thing we didn't put it off.

Last TD....


Last play and time he walked off the field....

I need a hug, 007 and MJ?

(Sad hug)

I knew it would be a sad day when Brett retired. Funny I thought it had been a pretty good day until I got home...

[b bulldog]

Ziggy, thank you for prodding me to keep my word to my son to take him to the NFC Championship game.

[MadtownPacker]

Ziggy, thank you for prodding me to keep my word to my son to take him to the NFC Championship game.

What? I dont get any credit for all the shit I talked to you about not going? YOu did the right then Bulldog. Your boy will never forget it.

[BooHoo]

I never was able to watch Brett play at Lambeau but was able to see him play in Detroit a few times when I lived outside of Flint.
At my last Detroit game a fight broke out about 7 people down from me. Boy, they have weird fans.

[MJZiggy]

Any one here under the age of 30 may not understand how depressing it is to go out and play flag football with the 20-year-olds from the office, see a sweet pass heading to the corner of the end-zone just for you, and then have your legs simply not get you there the way they once would have.

Fair enough, but how does that apply? The old dog had his best season in years and proved he was still one of the best in the business if not THE best.

Cause the old dog paid a price for that success...We only see him on Sunday. Does anyone remember what he said Super Bowl week? He said that within an hour after the end of a game, win or loss, he was already in the film room studying.

[MJZiggy]

Ziggy, thank you for prodding me to keep my word to my son to take him to the NFC Championship game.

You're quite welcome. I'm glad you got the priceless memories.

[GrnBay007]

I need a hug, 007 and MJ?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I want to be between 007 & Ziggy in the group hugs. they have soft parts.

OH MY GOSH IT DOESN'T SEEM REAL! This is so freakin' hard to take in! I want to come home from work tomorrow and read, "Favre informs Thompson he made a bad decision. Ted welcomes him back!"
Come on, gunslinger! Give us another!

I will still think that too until I see A-Rod starting under center in 2008 in the first season opener...

Until then... There is still a chance...

[Scott Campbell]

I feel like a part of my life is over.

Overall, I'd say people are taking the news pretty well.
