Brett Favre Retires

[Rattlesnake840]

"Brett Favre's legendary NFL career is apparently over.

According to a report on FOXSports.com, the record-setting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers has decided to retire after 17 seasons. Favre reportedly informed the Packers of his
decision within the last few days, and it's unclear when Favre and the team will make his decision known.

Favre, 38, has flirted with retirement during the past two offseasons. Many expected him to call it quits after a disappointing 2006 season, but Favre saw encouraging signs in the Packers' rebuilding and said he wanted to return.

His decision was justified by an outstanding season. Favre led a young Packers team to a 13-3 record, throwing for 4,155 yards and 28 touchdowns. His quarterback rating of 95.7 was his best in 11 seasons.

During the course of the season Favre has broken three NFL records, becoming the all-time leading in passing yards (61,655 yards), touchdown passes (442), and career wins (160).

Favre has started 253 consecutive regular-season games for the Packers, a streak that dates to September 27, 1992.

The only three-time MVP in NFL history, Favre is the all-time leader with 5,377 career completions. He has made eight Pro Bowl appearances and is set to make his ninth on February 10. "
