Brett Favre Retires from the G.B. Packers
Well, it finally happened. Today, Brett Favre announced his retirement as Quarterback of the Green Bay Packers! As a long time Packers Fan, I really hate to see this, but Brett sure gave me and alot of Packer Fans alot of really great years! Here is the official press announcement from G.B. Packers General Manager Ted Thompson off the Packers website: (www.packers.com)
STATEMENT FROM PACKERS GENERAL MANAGER TED THOMPSON:
Brett Favre has informed us of his intention to retire from the Green Bay Packers and the NFL. 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.
The Packers owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude. He has given Packers fans 16 years of wonderful memories, a Super Bowl championship among them, that will live on forever. Brett's many accomplishments on the field are legendary. He leaves the game holding virtually every career passing record, plus his consecutive starts streak, which may never be duplicated.
The uniqueness of Brett Favre - his personality, charisma and love of the game - undoubtedly will leave him as one of the enduring figures in NFL history.
Details of Brett Favre's availability to discuss his decision are still to be determined, and will be announced once set.
