This is the last of the REAL nfl players.

What Class!

The game he played after his father died.
One of the greatest efforts I've ever witnessed.

Met him once in Buffalo...

At the Bills game in Buffalo a couple years ago, he went out of his way after the game to spend time with a handicapped boy for twenty minutes. He had security keep everyone back while he spoke to the kid and then proceeded to give the boy his helment and his jersey.

Loved to watch him give it his all and do it will a young boy's heart... on every play.

Thanks Brett

I couldn't agree more. I'm a huge Pack fan and was hoping this day would never come, but it was inevitable. The man brought a passion for the game that will never be matched.

Thank you Mr. Favre.

"Loved to watch him give it his all and do it will a young boy's heart... on every play"........You said it right there BROMOE.

For those of us that have followed him all these years, it will never be the same. Nothing lasts forever, but you sure do wish some things would. :(

In a related story to Favre's retirement, announcer John Madden also said he was retiring. Madden, long recognized as never to say a discouraging word about Favre was quoted, "What's the point of carrying on. With no Brett Favre, that's 30 percent of my material. I loved that guy. Besides I'm tired of that (Frank) Caliendo character making fun of me. I'm gone, Boom."

Of course it's a joke. I was lucky enough to be at Brett Favre's first game as a Packer, when he came in for Magic Man, and never left again. It was a honor to watch Favre in either person or on TV all these years.

Great person, great player. Sad to see him go.

Agree 100% Bromoe, well said.........

That Farve retired one day after Randy Moss signed with Patriots. Do you think he would have retired if Moss would have signed with the Packers?

I thought the same thing at first, but he informed the Packer
management prior to Moss signing with the Pats.

Warren Sapp is an ass.

His move today, shows he has NO class.

What did he do now?

...without knowing what he did, the man wasn't exactly a classy dude otherwise.

Sapp's Retirement Became Official the same day Farve retired.

Poor Timing IMO.

Nobody will even know he retired...for example: me! If he waited a couple weeks, people would actually talk about it. Now, it's just a footnote. That's fine with me because he's always been a scumbag, which is a shame because he was a great player.
