Favre packs it in
After 17 NFL seasons, Brett Favre has retired from professional football. In his press conference officially announcing his retirement earlier today, Favre said he felt confident he could still play on Sundays but lacked the passion to practice and prepare the way he would need to week in and week out. His retirement came as a surprise to many after his outstanding play in the 2007 season leading the Packers to a 13-3 regualr season record and the NFC Championsionship game where they lost to eventual Super Bowl champions NY Giants.
Favre takes a number of records with him into retirement including 3 NFL MVP titles, 61,655 passing yards, 442 Touchdown passes, and 160 career victories. His most dubious record is his 288 interceptions.
