17 years of living the dream has come to an end. he was great.

Wow after the season he had last year and how far they went into the playoffs I thought he would take one last run at it.

That's insane...

He was one of the best ever.

Damn - I was hoping this was just going to be a joke when I opened the thread. It's been a long time coming, but I was looking forward to at least one more year.

I agree. His personality itself was priceless. Very humble man.

That sucks... figured he would stay 1-2 years more with the team they have now.

He may get the itch and come back. What a great quarterback.

He leaves on top of his game thats for sure, he kicked ass this last year.

Not too up on the sport but even I know him, I think its great to leave when you have achieved such status. Better to be remembered as a great rather than someone in decline.

Boxers take note...

Everybody remember Joe Montana in KC? All I can remember when I think of Montana is him running around with that giant leg brace on.

Part of me is very glad to see Favre go out on top... Part of me wanted to see him play till he's like 44 like Vinny

And now dawns a new era for Green Bay....the Aaron Rogers era :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

He is the best qb ive seen

I'm sure he regrets the last play of his career.

Damn. I wanted him to have one more crack at it

He should have done it 5 years ago

God a sports career that long is almost unheard of, very impressive run.

You're a bears fan,right?:1orglaugh

It's a shame that his last pass was an interception in the NFC Championship Game.

He is one of the greatest of all time, and will be missed.

THE JETS should bring him to NY...errrr i mean NJ... our JETS QBs SUCK

Brett will not, I repeat, WILL NOT, pull a "Seau".

Way too much class for that.

Montana did lead KC to the AFC championship game. He had 2 good years in there. :2 cents:

I had a feeling this annoucement was coming soon. :(

As a 100% viking fan i must say Favre was one packer i really liked ;-). Great guy, great competitor, huge heart in the game. Will be missed.

whos going to be the replacement??? did they announce or any prospects???

Current backup Aaron Rodgers. He is going to have a good year.

Brett was great. Friend of mine met him in a bar one time, got his picture with him and an autograph. My friend said he was a really cool guy.

i was a seau fan til
 

i was a seau fan til seau pulled a seau!

About time..

Actually a Seahawks fan..Brett was too frustrating to watch,he always choked when it counted

if you guys all knew what wisco was like.. i bet people committed suicide because of this news.. people have brett favre tattoos and shit in these parts

I never thought I'd see the day.

I love going to Packer/Vikings games, been to some in both GB and MN... Vikings fans are classy. They love their team but they also love Packers fans, win or lose packers/vikings fans have fun both before and after the game...

On the FLIP side to that... BEARS FANS ARE THE WORST! 75% of them are total assholes while the other 25% just wanna drink and have fun with the rest of us. Don't bother going to a game IN chicago... truly horrible place for football.
