Favre to Retire - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

**Brando** · 03-04-2008

I heard on the radio this morning that Favre is going to retire per Jay Glazer. I don't have any link but that's what I am hearing.

He had a good season last year. Too bad the Pack couldn't get past the Giants.

edit: Found the link....

The most storied quarterback career in NFL history is coming to a close.

FOXSports.com has learned that legendary quarterback Brett Favre has decided to retire. In fact, it's believed he informed the Packers of his decision within the last few days, although it's unclear when Favre and the team will make his decision known.

i heard aaron rogers is retiring too

**HoustonFrog** · 03-04-2008

Man, I have a hard time thinking that with the talent they have and his season last year that he would want to go out with the last throw fresh in his mind.

It's a shame. Gun slingers are fun to watch and Favre epitomized the role.

He was playing at a pretty high level too carrying the team at times. Wouldn't want my career to go out on that note either and you would think announcing fully to retire after this year that everyone would wantto send him out winning.

If this is true Brett the game won't ever be the same without ya.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre has decided to retire.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that according to Favre's agent, Buss Cook, Favre informed Packers coach Mike McCarthy of his decision Monday night.

Mortensen said in a phone message Favre left for him Tuesday morning, the longtime Packers starter said he felt worn down by the demands of the game, adding that he and his wife Deanna thought anything short of a Super Bowl title would be a disappointment and not worth the mental wear and tear.

He's done it all, enjoy your life Mr. Favre with the family and we shall see you in Canton in 2012.

**Hardcore Texan** · 03-04-2008

What's the over/under he changes his mind by Friday?

**Specnatz** · 03-04-2008

I do not know but the league is worse off with this decision.

Personally, I think that last Playoff game whipped his ass. You could tell he was freezing his ass off and had no desire to be out there.

If he does retire, I'm going to miss the heck out of that guy. He played the game to have fun and win. His personality on the field will be sorely missed.

Having said that, I betcha he comes back.

**Hardcore Texan** · 03-04-2008

Who cares, he wasn't even that good.

Just kidding of course, I always enjoyed watching Brett play, I saw him live during that Sunday Night Game at Reliant, good times. I do think Aaron Rodgers will be ready and have a really good season.

**badboy** · 03-04-2008

About damn time too. signed Kevin Kolb

austintexanite · 03-04-2008

I heard about it this morning also. I was actually surprised he did retire, I figured he would come back after he was so close to the Super Bowl. Looks like Rodgers will finally show what he is worth, if only he could stay healthy.

With Kolb playing for Philly why would he even care?

Heard he was waiting to see if the team would bring in Randy Moss. Sad day. What a storied legacy he will leave behind.

stingray · 03-04-2008

Great QB and a great personality to go with it.
I put only these QB's in front of him in terms of history in no particular order.

Montana
Elway
Marino
Unitas
Brady
Manning

Porky · 03-04-2008

I loved watching that guy play. I hate to see him go.

alphajoker · 03-04-2008

Farewell Favre, it's been fun watching you play. Rodgers...you have some big shoes to fill.

BSofA04 · 03-04-2008

Sad day for the NFL. Good news for the Texans when we play the Pack next year.
