ARCHIVOS MR PLAYBOOK (2008)

Brett Lorenzo Favre has made his decision to retire from the NFL. Its truly the end of an era in Green Bay, and a really sad day for the fans of this great QB and the NFL in general, this was expected anytime soon, but a lot of people thought that after a great season, Favre would decide to come back again. This is not what happened. Tuesday morning it was announced by his agent Bus Cook that Favre made his decision Monday Night and informed him over the phone.
The 38 yr old Quarterback played for 16 seasons in Green Bay and retiring is one of the hardest decisions hes had to make in his life he said.

"I know I can still play, but it's like I told my wife, I'm just tired mentally. I'm just tired," Favre told ESPN's Chris Mortensen in a voice mail message.
