Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre “officially filed his retirement papers with the NFL," the league confirmed on Monday.
Favre is known for his on-again-off-again relationship - with the NFL.
In 2008 he retired from the game after his longtime status as the go-to man in Green Bay. He made his second retirement announcement again in 2009 after playing with the Jets. But he returned again with the Vikings.
If he really does retire this time, he will go with a record 297 regular season game consecutive starts and an unbelievable career.
"I know it's time, and that's OK. It is," Favre said after his final game. "Again, I hold no regrets, and I can't think of too many players offhand that can walk away and say that. Individually and from a team standpoint, it was way more than I ever dreamed of."
Signs point to yes.
He really 'HAS' to retire now since there won't be a season this next year. The owners will lock out the players on March 4th and negotiations will be drawn out.
Hopefully if his wife has any brains, she'll file the Divorce papers before him.
Here we go again, but really should anyone care?
Bah, whatever. No one is going to believe him. I wonder who he will play for next, the Detroit Lions? LOL
Brett FARVE, thanks for sharing your wiener with the world. May we never see your ugly mug again or hear your horrible falsely-spelled name spoken.
This guy was one of the worst football players in the history of the sport. He could learn a few things from high school players.
This guy was one of the worst football players in the history of the sport. He's never taken one snap that wasn't staged. And I'm beginning to have my doubts as to whether the REAL Brett Favre even set foot on the field.
@Bill Falfa, "One of the worst football players in the history of the sport" are you high? That has to be one of the most moronic, unintelligent statements I've ever read. Regardless on how people feel about him personally, no one in their right mind would EVER say the WORST IN THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT!! Jesus, some of you people on this board must be crackheads or something...
Don't retire FAVRE... come to the Lions for a one year 15 million dollar contract and lets pound the packers.... AGAIN...
The 2011 season is going to be cancelled anyway so he wont be the only one retiring
