NFL Star Brett Favre Retires | TVGuide.com Sports Report | 3/4/2008
Legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre announced his retirement Tuesday. Favre played 17 seasons and was named league MVP three times. He led the Packers to the Super Bowl in 1996 and 1997, winning it all in '96. This past season he set NFL career records for passing touchdowns (442), passing yards (61,655) and wins by a starting QB (160).In a voice mail to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the 38-year-old Favre said, "I know I can still play, but it's like I told my wife, I'm just tired mentally. I'm just tired." Mortensen says, "there was nothing else left for him to do… He set all the records, and I think in the end it was all about winning and the stress and duress of trying to win and trying to actually live in his own shadow.” The NFL Network is going all out this week with tributes, including programming all day Tuesday, March 4, and Saturday, March 8, and in prime-time Wednesday, March 5, through Friday, March 7.

But, defying all expectations, the Packers ended up with the second-best record in the NFC, and Favre passed Dan Marino with NFL career records for touchdowns thrown and passing yards. Early criticism that the Packs' offensive approach was unbalanced has been put to rest thanks to the emergence of former backup Ryan Grant, who seemed to come out of nowhere to dominate on the ground in the back half of the season. As for New York, change has come in fits and spurts. The Giants got off to a slow start, losing their first two games and looking sloppy on offense and positivel... read more

Green Bay's Brett Favre is poised to rewrite the NFL record books, but whether or not he'll close the book on his career is, once again, a question.

"So we've literally been talking about Brett's retirement for 10 years."With the Packers in rebuilding mode and the 37-year-old quarterback questioning his own commitment, that talk has intensified in the last two years. Favre says his decision to continue past this season will be "bas read more
