It's all over the news here. He's retiring. Damn, I'm so disappointed. He had a few really good years left with a good team behind him.

This totally ruined my day...

It's really only been the last 4 years or so.

At least he left the game after his magical season last year. Personally, I'm not a Packer fan, but I'm a big fan of Brett Favre. If only more players showed their love of the game like he did. Sorry bro....

**Phlip** · 03-04-2008, 09:22 AM

This will give way to a long and ugly rebuilding period, watch and see.

Yes indeed. Those are some mighty large shoes to fill. Aaron Rogers is eh. He gets hurt easy. :ghey:

If we can get a decent QB we could be alright. Cause we really do have a solid team.

LongGrain · 03-04-2008, 09:40 AM

damn, now with brett favre gone, what will become of wisconsin?

people will probably forget about us

jrmiller84 · 03-04-2008, 09:49 AM

Shit. I'm staying the hell away from my fiance's father.

Guy has a Packers room in the house, painted yellow, green trim around the doors, and complete with astroturf instead of carpet. It's rediculous...

Welcome to what the Denver Broncos have been going through.

Everyone that tries to play QB here is compared to John Elway. Going to be the same in Green Bay.

No it's all still there (including the free drunk tour), but they are talking about moving the headquarters to another city since the merger with Coors. They want a neutral location for both companies.

Rob's S14 · 03-04-2008, 10:20 AM

You can't give up on Rodgers yet. I'm no Packer fan, but he's really not that bad. He looked good when he played this year and with a good offense around him, it should take the load off his shoulders. Plus their division is still pretty weak.

I'd rather have Rodgers than Alex Smith.

slidingsky · 03-04-2008, 10:25 AM

I just heard about this, I am shocked honestly, I thought he was gonna give it one more year but the way he explained it (super bowl win or wasn't worth it) I can understand how he sees it at his age, not that I play pro sports or anything.

He said he just wants to be a normal guy.

It's gonna suck hearing the non-stop Favre talk all next season.

azndoc · 03-04-2008, 12:06 PM

Not a huge fan of his. Still like him though. Oh well. People get old, players retired. That's life.

*kingkilburn* · 03-04-2008, 12:15 PM

At least he didn't pull a Jerry Rice and play till he was dropping back in one of these

You gotta love a mix of natural talent and incredible understanding of the game.

ALTRNTV · 03-04-2008, 12:55 PM

R.I.P. Brett Favre
(Retire In Peace)

I used to be a huge Packer bandwagon fan when I was a kid.

corriganjoshua · 03-04-2008, 01:00 PM

definitely a player that deserves everything he has and more...im anxious to see who is going to be trying to fill those shoes

DOOK · 03-04-2008, 01:02 PM

yeah... I wake up from sleeping after midnight shift to this shit... Brett Favre is probably the player in the NFL I respected the most of any and I've never been a Packer fan. Shit sucks.

*exitspeed* · 03-04-2008, 02:28 PM

To not respect this man should be a crime.

Many Records To Celebrate

QB Brett Favre carries WR Greg Jennings off the field following the record-breaking TD pass in the first quarter on Sept. 30, 2007, at the Metrodome in Minneapolis.

Brett Favre Tribute

by Mike Spofford, Packers.com
posted 03/04/2008

With Brett Favre retiring after 16 seasons as the Green Bay Packers' starting quarterback (17 seasons overall), nearly every significant NFL passing record is in his grasp.

Some are sure to stand for a long time. Others are already within the sights of Indianapolis Colts' quarterback Peyton Manning. But all are worth celebrating, to be sure.

Here's a list of those significant league records:

Most TD passes: 442
Favre surpassed Dan Marino's mark of 420 in Week 4 last season at Minnesota, with a 16-yard TD pass to Greg Jennings.

Most passing yards: 61,655
Favre connected with his old buddy Donald Driver to break Marino's mark of 61,361 yards at St. Louis last season in Week 15.

Most passing attempts: 8,758
Favre also broke this one last year in Week 4 at the Metrodome, and finished exactly 400 passes ahead of Marino (8,358).

Most wins by a starting QB: 160
Favre eclipsed John Elway's previous mark of 148 in Week 2 last season against the New York Giants. Including postseason, Favre won 172 games. Manning is tops among active QBs with 105 regular-season wins.

Most consecutive starts, quarterback: 253 (275 including playoffs)
The next-longest streak for a QB belongs to Manning, at 160 games (173 including playoffs) and counting. Among all players and documented streaks, Favre came up 17 games shy of Minnesota's Jim Marshall, who started 270 straight contests.

Most 3,000-yard passing seasons: 16
Marino ranks second on this list with 13.

Most consecutive 3,000-yard passing seasons: 16
Manning broke a second-place tie with Marino last season with his 10th in a row.

Most pass completions: 5,377
Favre surpassed Marino's 4,967 completions two seasons ago, with a pass to Carlyle Holiday against Detroit on Dec. 17, 2006, at Lambeau Field.

Most seasons with 30-plus TD passes: 8
Marino and Manning are both a distant second here with four each.

Most consecutive games with a TD pass, postseason: 18
Favre extended this by two more games last season. Once again, Marino is in second place with 13.

Most NFL MVP awards: 3
Six other players, the only active ones being quarterbacks Manning and Kurt Warner, have won the award twice. Favre was runner-up to Tom Brady in 2007 for a potential fourth MVP.

*ManoNegra* · 03-04-2008, 02:31 PM

Not surprised as he'll be leaving on a high note after a hell of a season.

ALTRNTV · 03-04-2008, 02:45 PM

To me, he had a couple more years of competitive play. He looked to
be in great shape.

status:one · 03-04-2008, 02:46 PM

very sad... but what a tremendous career he had.

Exactly. At his age he was still enjoying the game more then anyone. I mean look at this dude last season. If half the professional athletes today had 1/4 of his heart...

status:one · 03-04-2008, 03:12 PM

That's the reason why he was so liked.... he had so much heart for his team and the game of Football.

*exitspeed* · 03-06-2008, 10:48 AM

Brett Favre's press conference is on right now. it's really emotional. I'm glad I'm at work. If I was at work I'd be ballin.

s13poop · 03-06-2008, 05:08 PM
