Brett Favre is retiring after 17 seasons, 16 with the Packers. He says he's too mentally tired to return, but that physically, he's fine, which is why discussions of his possible non-retirement abound. [ESPN, Trib]
as a native wisconsinite (with green bay being the nearest city to the unincorporated town i grew up in), i hate to see him go (he's the only quarterback i remember playing for the packers), but i'm glad he's leaving after a good season and with all of his health. i wish him a happy and relaxing retirement.

Oh, but who will John Madden and Peter King want to orally satisfy now?
good riddance
Tony Romo. After all, Madden did repeat over and over that "Brett Favre is the new Tony Romo."
I always hoped he would leave the league on a stretcher at soldier's field... oh well, guess not. Good ridance, Go Bears!
It's very mentally tiring to remember to invert your consonants all the time.

Smussy, you're a Wisconsin girl like me, right? We should have a Farewell Brett Party. I am so bummed.
He was no Don Majikowski...
As a Bears fan this is such great news even though we have been beating the Packers. The guy is a legend but sorry, the Packers are not!
yeah. we should have a party. sigh. i really thought we'd go to the super bowl this year, he'd win and then he'd retire. sigh.
He did win the Superbowl this year, didn't he? Or am I living in my little green-and-gold fantasy land.
Oh, cer. Do you even understand football history? If you did, you would know the Packers are legend.
w00t! Let's hear it for native WI girls!
Cheeseheads forever!
