The fact that there hasn't been a thread started on this already kind of indicates how little interest there is on this or how tired we are of the story but here goes:

Favre Officially Files Retirement Papers

Brett Favre has officially filed his retirement papers with the NFL, likely ending his 20-year record-setting career. The news was first reported by Alex Marvez of FOX Sports.

Favre, originally drafted by the Falcons in 1991, played most of his career with the Packers (1992-2007) before going to the Jets (in 2008) and Vikings (2009-10) during his last three seasons. He won a Super Bowl in Green Bay following the 1996 season and was named Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers of America MVP twice. His name can be found in the NFL record book several times, as he is ranked first all-time in passing yards (71,838), attempts (10,169), completions (6,300), touchdowns (508) and interceptions (336); his consecutive starts streak was snapped on Dec. 13 after 297 games.

Now when he sends out **** pics it will be none of the NFL's concern.

Geez...please stay retired. I am sick of listening to Packer fans whine about him. They just cannot let it go for some reason.

Eh he does have a history of doing this, and he is guilty. But this time...? I think he really isdone this time, and I think it's the media making a big deal out of it. Of course, he can't expectto file retirement papers (AGAIN) and not expect the media to run with it... I think he had delusionsthat he could do it and it would actually quietly happen.

He's done. Not because he can still play, because he can't.

Was his last throw an INT?

I agree, but he didn't have to file the papers this weekend. Bears/Packers NFC Championship week? Brett "Look At ME!!!" Favre (or "Look at my text messages") with one more sad, desperate grasp at attention. It's really pretty sad. His might be one of the more pitiful swan songs in sports history (rivalling Michael Jordan's).
