Farve retiring
.
Probably the smartest thing for him to do at this point.

I really thought after the year that the Pack had, he'd be back for one more.  He played really well this year and I almost hate to see him go. Oh well, he gave us a good show, and it's probably best for him to hang up the cleats.  :beer

He is one of football's greats and it's sad to see him go after the season they just had.  At least he ended it on a high note.  There is now one less in the endangered species of classy players in the NFL.

I think he wanted to go out on a higher note too...albeit was somewhat unexpected this past season. It seemed a bit Cinderella like.
In his early years his play was very spotty, he was either the hero or the goat. He had a really good 3-4 yr stretch and of late it seemed he was the last player with heart on his team.
.
I think he is/was a good rolemodel for our youth and other NFL players :good

About time.  He is a great quarterback but I don't know if they would let him have a walker out on the field.  :D

I think Brett looks older than he is (it's not always the age it's the mileage).  Didn't Warren Moon play well into his 40's?

I'm thinking that if I had a bunch of 300 lb monsters that are getting paid to smash my face into the ground on every play, I might look a little older too.

Dang, guess I'll have to retire my cheesehead, too. :(

Wonder which sports networks will pick him up as an announcer? :stupid

That boy needs a boat and portable TV. Float around Havi and really enjoy the game. Gotta be better than lining up for the snap and hope your insurance is paid up.

I agree Zig :good

I watched his latest interview regarding the whole deal:
http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/index.php?cl=8817502

They pressed him for an answer in March and he gave them one. He had been through quite a bit.
Now he's had time to rest and reflect. He checked the expiration date and he has some left.

I don't agree with the way they are putting him through the wringer now. It sucks. :(
