Favre to Retire

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Brett Favre has decided to retire from the NFL after 17 seasons. FOX Sports first reported Tuesday that the Green Bay Packers quarterback informed the team in the last few days. ESPN.com said that according to Favre's agent the quarterback told coach Mike McCarthy of his decision.

The team did not immediately confirm or deny the report. An assistant to Packers general manager Ted Thompson said he was in meetings all day but would release a statement later Tuesday morning.

Let's review:

5377 completions for 61655 yards (That's like 35 miles!).
442 touchdowns against 288 interceptions.
Oh yeah, and he hasn't missed a game since 1992.

See you in Canton Brett.

And Yes Aaron, those are some large shoes you're looking at.

Can't say I'm surprised. However, I'm sorry his last play in the NFL was an interception that cost his team a shot at the championship.
