GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Brett Favre has decided to retire from the NFL after 17 seasons.FOX Sports first reported today that the Green Bay Packers quarterback informed the team in the last few days. ESPN.com said that according to Favre's agent, Bus Cook, the quarterback told coach Mike McCarthy of his decision. Cook said in a phone interview today with The Associated Press' Jackson, Miss., bureau that Favre told him the news Monday night.
"Nobody pushed Favre out the door but then nobody encouraged him not to go out that door either," said Cook. He said Favre was tired and "the Packers have got future plans and whether those plans included Brett I don't know." He said Favre was in Hattiesburg, Miss., where he has property, but Cook knew of no plans for a news conference.
Only two years removed from perhaps his worst season, Favre had a resurgence in 2007. He broke several career records. Among them was Dan Marino's career mark for career touchdown passes. He powered the Packers to an NFC North title and a 13-3 regular-season record. He was named to his ninth Pro Bowl.

eeeeh...mmmm... parece que estoy muy out, seriously!!!
Brett Favre, el mejor quarterback de la liga y, con 38 años, el único desportista de primera línea más viejo que yo... adorado por los fans e hijo del rigor... lo puedes googlear aleurzua, o acordarte de el en Loco por Mary... con un cameo como el pololo idolo de Cameron Díaz que hace a Ben Stiller irse llorando porque sabe que no tiene como competir con un tipo tan, pero tan bueno...
