Favre retires
By motle • Mar 4th, 2008 • Category: Featured, National Football League •
This time, Favre’s fans won’t have to endure another long winter wondering whether he’ll return.
The three-time MVP walks away with most of the NFL’s significant passing records—most career touchdown passes, most career yards passing and most career victories by a starting quarterback—and a victory in the 1997 Super Bowl.
As the Packers cheered Favre’s touchdowns and victories (and cringed at his NFL-leading 288 interceptions) his body was breaking down.
Favre told the team he was simply worn out, physically and mentally, after starting every game since taking over as the Packers’ starting quarterback in 1992.
Favre retires with 5,377 career completions in 8,758 attempts, with 61,655 yards and 442 touchdowns.
This quarterback may be known as THE greatest QB to ever play…
