GoodBye Brett! Betting it Was Tough!

By Iron Mike | EducatedBet.com

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre has decided to retire.

Brett FavreFarve informed the Packers and head coach Mike McCarthy of his retirement Monday night. Chris 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. A sure-fire first-ballot Hall of Famer, Favre, acquired in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons, led the Packers back to the NFL's elite. He retires with 5,377 carrer completions in 8,758 attempts for 61,655 yards, 442 touchdowns and 288 interceptions, passing Dan Marino's touchdown mark last season.

As a player Favre was known for his durability, his willingness to take risks and turn broken plays into big gains, as well as for the way his love for the game was evident in the way he played. He went to a pair of Super Bowls in 1996 and 1997, winning it all on his first try in Super Bowl XXXI, and was named to nine Pro Bowls.

I am not going to lie to you this does come as a huge shock for me...This is the last thing that I expected Brett to do. His team would have had a chance to win a Super Bowl this year, but I dont think they would have but they had a chance. He had one of his best years as a QB last year and said repeatedly in the playoffs that he wasn’t approaching the game as if it would be his last and was more optimistic than in years past about returning. I am not going to lie to you, I am not a Brett Farve guy, I might me the only one in America who is not but I cant say that i am going to miss him. But he has a great career and in 5 years we will see him giving a speech at Canton! There is no question about that.
